A new golden age of mic preamps, priced perfectly.

Vintage, new, what's best for you? If you're in the market for a preamp or two, you've already had a bit of a chew over this and other salient points. BUT, have you checked out the new Golden Age Pre 73 mic preamp yet?

Word on the street is that it is the best BFB* preamp available.

Just who is best suited to Pre 73? Basically anyone who needs an awesomely priced mic preamp. Class A circuitry, a discrete signal path with three separate transformers for the balanced mic input, the line input and the output (the two different output sockets are paralleled, just in case you need a split). Bass players and other instrumentalists can plug straight in to the front panel. And whether you're a singer, player, engineer or all of the above, we will make sure you get well hooked up with a smoking price on this one. You know it!

A very well priced rack mounting kit is available, and the incremental gain steps make it easy to set up again and again for similar recording sessions (voiceover studios take note!). We've got a big stack of these in the shop, so take advantage of the bulk buy we have done. If you need to compare this with an Avalon VT737, Universal Audio LA-610MKII, Joe Meek OneQ, Presonus StudioChannel, TL Audio 5050, or any other mono preamps in our audio world, don't be a stranger ... give us a call, or shoot off an email for info.

Pre 73 - what's in a name?

For those who've not picked up on the vintage bit of this post yet, here's a grab from Golden Age on the Pre 73: "The circuit is very similar to the classical preamp section of the Neve 1073 pre/eq module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. This classical sound has been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres."
