Unlock classic analog warmth with the Golden Age Project Pre73 Jr MKII, designed to deliver precise, dynamic microphone preamplification with authentic vintage character. This solid-state preamp reproduces the revered British-console sound without integrated circuits, ensuring a clean yet harmonically rich signal path for your recordings.
Low-frequency noise can compromise clarity, but the Pre73 Jr MKII’s selectable 6 dB/octave high-pass filter with 40 Hz and 170 Hz settings effectively removes unwanted rumble, preserving the integrity of your source. The front-panel instrument input supports high-impedance sources, making direct recording of guitars or basses effortless and sonically transparent.
Gain control extends from 20 to 70 dB, accommodating everything from quiet ribbon microphones to dynamic sources. The separate output level knob allows you to push the preamp into transformer saturation, creating warm, harmonically rich textures that enhance vocal and instrumental performances. An insert jack provides routing flexibility for external EQs or compressors, enabling precise sound sculpting within your signal chain.
The inclusion of phantom power supports condenser microphones, expanding your recording options. The 2-position Air Boost feature adds 3 dB or 6 dB centered at 30 kHz, enhancing presence and clarity for vocals and acoustic instruments. Polarity reverse capability further refines phase alignment, essential for multi-mic setups.
Connectivity options include a combo XLR-1/4″ input for microphones and line-level sources, plus a dedicated 1/4″ Hi-Z input for instruments. Outputs are available via XLR and 1/4″ jacks, ensuring compatibility with various studio hardware. The external 24 V power supply minimizes noise interference, maintaining a pristine signal path.
Compact and robust, the Pre73 Jr MKII fits four units into a single 19-inch rack space, optimizing studio real estate without sacrificing performance. Built with military-grade components, this preamp offers reliable, professional-grade operation for demanding recording environments.
