Projet de l'âge d'or PRE-573 MKIII

Golden Age Project PRE-573 MKIII – one-channel 500 Series mic/line/instrument preamp inspired by Neve 1073, offering warm, punchy sound with 80dB gain for passive ribbons and quiet sources. Vintage-style electronics with Tantalum capacitors, switchable mic impedance (1200/300 Ohm), and flexible DI for guitars/keys. Compact API 500 format for racks, ideal for studios/live rigs.

Features active/passive DI modes (1.5MΩ/100kΩ), insert jack for GAP EQ/effects, 2-position HPF (45/180Hz), AIR boost at 30kHz for high-end sparkle, phantom power, phase inversion, and LED overload indicator (+4dBu red glow). Transformer-balanced I/O for musical character without modern line impedance issues.

MKIII upgrades include enhanced HPF and insert for seamless module integration. Handcrafted for versatile tracking/mixing, delivering classic tone at project-studio price.
