The Golden Age PRE-73 DLX is a vintage-style mic, line and instrument pre amp. Following on from the incredibly popular Pre 73, the DLX builds on the design by adding a high pass filter circuit, a selectable input pad as well as a switchable insert section for adding compressors and EQ’s into the signal path.
The PRE-73 DLX is based on the much coveted Neve 1073 and imparts a warm and coloured tone by adding subtle harmonics, and thick transformer sound which is excellent for bass and vocals or anything you want to add a bit density to.
The main features of the Pre 73 DLX include:
- Vintage Style electronics
- No intergrated circuits in the signal path
- Maximum gain on the mic input: 80 dB
- Gain range on the Line input: -20 to + 10 dB
- Switchable impedance on the mic input, 1200 or 300 Ohms, will change the tone of most mics
- Switchable phantom power and absolute phase
- A high-impedance instrument input for any sound module, electric guitar or bass
- A simple but effective 4-step LED output level meter
- Combo XLR/TRS input jacks and separate output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections
- Insert jack for inserting EQ´s and other units
- External high power power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits and transformers
- A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use
