Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIV Mic/Line/Instrument Preamplifier
Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIV Mic/Line/Instrument Preamplifier Reviews
The classic “73” wrote the book on characterful mic preamplification, so in designing the Pre-73 mic pre, Golden Age Project aimed high. It’s astonishing how well they succeeded. Now in its fourth generation, the Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIV further raises the bar for affordable British-flavored electronics, delivering the sonic essence of iconic British consoles in a compact form factor. The Pre-73 MKIV is a versatile single-channel mic/line/instrument preamp with 80dB of gain that lets you easily mic quiet sources with passive ribbons. Cranking the main gain stage imbues your tracks with tasty vintage-style coloration. Also onboard: phantom power, a broad gain-range DI, flexible I/O, switchable impedance, a highpass filter, and the acclaimed AIR EQ circuit, all in a robust half-rack chassis. If you’re in the market for a preamp that delivers a sweet, warm, punchy, and highly musical sound without exploding your equipment budget, we suggest giving the Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIV a serious audition.
Excellent Sounding Mic Pre!!
I've been running my home studio with the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 and more recently the Clarett +2 Pre, but adding the GA MK4 into the chain made a world of difference and added another dimension to my recordings. That in itself says a lot because Focusrite has some pretty darn good sounding pres to start with. The GA Pre is punchy and warm and with 80db of gain even my ribbon mics sound better than before. If you're looking to enhance your sound or just add a different flavor to your recordings I highly recommend this pre.
