Golden Age Project PRE-73 MKIII – one-channel vintage-style microphone, line, and instrument preamplifier with discrete components and transformer-balanced I/O. Warm, punchy sound inspired by Neve 1073, suitable for most sources and genres.
80dB maximum gain handles passive ribbons; switchable mic impedance (1200/300 Ohm). Features AIR boost (3/6dB @30kHz), HPF (40/170Hz, 6dB/octave), insert jack, phantom power, phase reverse, LED meter, output pad (-14dB).
Compact half-rack chassis with external PSU for low noise.
