Golden Age Project / PRE-73 Jr mk2

This compact microphone preamplifier is a quarter-rack size, half the size of a half-rack unit. It retains the vintage NEVE-focused sound. This ""MKII"" version adds an ""AIR EQ"" and a high-pass filter, features not present in the previous model.

A vintage NEVE-type microphone preamplifier that can be configured with the required number of channels.

The Golden Age Project ""PRE-73 Jr mk2"" reproduces the musical sound character of the ""vintage NEVE 1073 module"" with an all-discrete signal path and a balanced circuit using transformers at input and output, just like its higher-end counterpart.

By focusing on the functions of a simple microphone preamplifier and miniaturizing it to a 1/4 rackmount size, it achieves a lower price while maintaining the sound quality of the already highly acclaimed higher-end model.

The MK2 adds AIR EQ and a high-pass filter.

By configuring the number of channels according to your production style, you can easily build a multi-channel microphone preamp environment. Up to four PRE-73 Jr mk2 units can be installed in a 1U rackmount size using the dedicated rackmount tray UNITE mk2 (sold separately). The ability to achieve 4 channels of classic NEVE sound in a ""1U size"" is a major attraction.
