Golden Age Premier EQ-73

Features

• Vintage Style electronics. No integrated circuits in the signal path.
• Maximum gain in mic mode is 80 dB, enough to handle passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources.
• Classic 23-position Gain/Line switch with 5 dB steps and a gain range of 20 to 80 dB for mic and -10 to +20 dB for line.
• A two band LF (+/-15 dB) and HF (+/-20 dB) shelving equalizer with two selectable frequencies for each band.
• Inductor based +/- 15 dB midrange equalizer section with three selectable frequencies. The lowest one is selectable between 350 and 700 Hz.
• Switchable impedance in mic mode, 1200 or 300 Ohm, will change the tone of most mics. The input impedance in line mode is 10 kOhm.
• 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.
• The output level control makes it possible to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage(s) for more character.
• Separate combo XLR/TRS jack for the MIC and LINE input and separate output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections.
• Selectable 600 Ohm output termination.
• Classic style knobs and buttons.
• Prepared for mounting one ot two units in the UNITE PREMIER rack kit.
• It can also be mounted in one of the other UNITE rack kits and combined with –the red and black Golden Age Project products.
• Connector free internal wiring, all connections except the ones to the gain switch –are soldered for the purest signal and most longterm stable signal path.
• UK made Carnhill microphone input and line output transformers.
• The pcb is prepared for the Carnhill 9046M line input transformer.
• Polystyrene capacitors in the amplifier circuits.
• Tantalum capacitors in the signal path.
• Beefed up power supply.
• Sturdy toggle switches with gold plated contacts.
• External power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits and transformers.
• A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.
