The Pre 73 MKIV represents the latest major evolution of Golden Age Audio's 73 style preamps, a series already renowned for its popularity. Inheriting the spirit of classic British consoles, the Pre-73 MKIV delivers warm, punchy, smooth and musical sound. Ideal for coloring your favorite mics and maintaining impeccable sonic purity, it also functions as a line preamp and direct box for electric guitars and basses. Harness classic console sound and maximize the use of your microphone collection.
Activate the -14dB pad to tame loud signals or maintain maximum transparency by adjusting gain and modulating the output. Further refine your sound with the selectable low-pass filter to eliminate unwanted low frequencies right out of the box. The 'Air' EQ adds brightness and presence to your highs.
