Description
The Golden Age Project EQ-73 MKII is a single-channel Class-A equalizer modeled on the EQ section of the classic 1073 module (without the high-pass filter). Stepped frequency controls span 20 Hz to 24 kHz. Low and High bands are shelving; the Mid band is a dual-inductor bell. Use it standalone on balanced line I/O, or via the TRS insert into a PRE-73 for a compact 1073-style channel when mounted in a UNITE rack kit.
Bands and MKII Updates
Low and Mid offer up to +/-15 dB; High offers up to +/-18 dB. Each band has its own bypass. The mid band uses two inductors, with the higher value for 160 Hz and 240 Hz. MKII adds an IC-based balanced line I/O stage for standalone use, updated level knobs, and small coupling caps in parallel with electrolytics in the IC I/O section. Tantalum capacitors sit in the main EQ path. Insert mode runs at about -18 dBu with no ICs in that path.
