Classic Mic Pre Performance at a Project Studio Price 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

When I unboxed the product, I realized one of the knobs were damaged and loose. It turns on for now, but I’ll test if the whole device works properly. If it doesn’t, I will then return it.

I've been using a 3rd-generation Scarlett Solo to record at home with an Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone, and have been very frustrated with the low level of the signal I'm able to get. . . to record anything and hear what I'm doing, I've had to peg the Scarlett Solo's knobs and then amplify the result after recording, usually resulting in some level of distortion, and making it difficult to sing well due to my inability to hear myself properly while doing it.Upgrading to the 4th-generation Scarlett Solo did improve the sound quality of my recordings, but the low signal level was still an issue. . . so I thought I'd add a pre-amp to my chain.Putting the GAP Pre-73 MKIV between my microphone and my Scarlett Solo has elevated my recording process massively; I can use reasonable settings on everything, with plenty of room for more if I want it, and I get crystal clear recordings that are as loud as I want them to be. It's easy to use (just don't forget to turn Phantom Power off when you're done using it), and has catapulted me from making lo-fi demos to turning out studio-quality work at home.
