Description
We are thrilled to announce The Golden Bundle from Golden Age Project. The bundle includes a PRE73MK3 and a COMP3AJR.
The PRE-73 MKIII is a one-channel vintage style microphone-, line- and instrument preamplifier. The COMP-3A Jr is a one channel vintage style Compressor / Leveler. Both have signal paths that use only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors with two different balanced in- and output transformers.
The latest version of our PRE-73 bestseller!
The PRE-73 MKIII is a one-channel vintage style microphone-, line- and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The in- and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available.
The circuit used in the PRE-73 MKIII 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.
One Channel Vintage Style Compressor/Leveler
The COMP-3A Jr is a one channel vintage style Compressor / Leveler. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors. The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available.
The circuit used in the COMP-3A Jr is based on classic design elements and it uses an integrated optocoupler to control gain. This gives the COMP-3A Jr a unique compression characteristics. In addition, the vintage style signal path adds a wonderful and musical character to the sound. The ease of use with only two main controls makes it very simple to achieve the desired sound. These attributes has made vintage products with a similar design favorites of engineers and musicians worldwide.
A classic sound and compression style is now available at a very affordable price point with the COMP-3A Jr.
