The top of the line PRE73 Jr Mk2 microphone preamp is a one-channel, vintage style microphone and instrument preamplifier that produces absolutely pristine audio signal like its predecessor, the classic PRE-73 only in a smaller package. It uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors, and transistors -- the way things were done before integrated circuits came out!
With two different transformers on both the input and output connections, you're guaranteed a balanced signal right off the bat. Plus, all these components are designed for durability and longevity so you can count on this preamp for many sessions to come! If you're serious about your sound quality in the studio, then don't let yourself be without this piece of awesome tech.
Golden Age Pre73 Jr Mk2 Vintage Style Class-A Microphone Preamp Features
Integrated circuits are small and cheap and widely used in most modern designs. It is clear though that audio components built with modern technology doesn ´t always provide the best perceived sound quality or the type of character that the modern user desires.
On the contrary, the subjective sound quality delivered by vintage equipment is often preferred over the one delivered by modern units, a situation that is even more obvious now when music is recorded with clean-sounding digital audio equipment.
This is the reason why so many vintage audio components are cloned and produced again and also why the vintage originals are often very expensive on the second hand market. The circuit used in the PRE-73 Jr MKII is similar to the preamp section in the classical 1073 module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres.
The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone.
