Description
The Golden Age Project PRE-73 DLX PREMIER elevates the deluxe 1073-style preamp with UK-made Carnhill mic input and line output transformers, a Carnhill high-pass inductor, polystyrene and tantalum capacitors, and all-soldered, connector-free internal wiring (except the gain switch). Discrete Class-A stages, three transformer positions, and relay-controlled switching deliver warm, punchy console character with Premier build quality.
Deluxe Controls, Premier Parts
A traditional 23-position mic/line gain switch, active DI through the mic transformer, inductor high-pass at 50/80/160/300 Hz, two-position Air EQ, and a four-step output pad after the output transformer give wide tonal range. Phantom meets the 10 mA standard with 0.1%-matched resistors. Neutrik mic combo, metal knobs, classic gain-switch knob, dual internal regulators, and an external supply complete the Premier package.
