Get Solid Gold Sound from this Pre Module!

The A Designs EM-Gold mic preamp module is part of the company's line of unique modules, each with their own "color" - both sonic and visual. The EM-Gold combines the dark edge of the EM-Silver preamp card with the upfront mids offered by the EM-Red module. It's a great combination that adds some real flavor to any mix. As with all EM Series modules, this preamp card offers quality features, such as a phase switch, 20dB pad, 48V phantom power, aluminum gain knob, and thumb screws for easy install and un-install in the EM-Gold mic pre module.

A Designs EM-Gold Microphone Preamp Module at a Glance:
  • Part of a colorful line
  • An exciting combination


Part of a colorful line
The A Designs "EM Series" is a twist on their popular Pacifica-based P-1 module. Each color (Silver, Blue, Red, and Gold) has its own sound, which is accomplished by using different custom wound output and input transformers. This gives you a large palette of preamp "coloration" to add to the sound of your favorite microphones or instruments.

An exciting combination
A Designs took the custom wound output transformer of the EM-Silver and combined it with the custom wound input transformer of the EM-Red for a truly unique sound, perfect for vocals, bass, even floor toms! The EM-Gold offers the darker end of the Silver's range, combined with the up-front mids that make the Red stand out. It's Gold, baby!


A Designs EM-Gold Microphone Preamp Module Features:
  • Phase button
  • 20dB pad

  • Cast aluminum knob
  • Thumb screws (for easy install and un-install)

  • Custom-wound transformers (input and output)

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
