Stellar CM6. Golden Age Project COMP-54 MK2 Compressor. Golden Age Project The Golden Age COMP-54 is a one-channel vintage-style compressor.

Golden Age Project COMP-54 MK2 Compressor

The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The line input and output are transformer balanced and the unit also has a third interstage transformer. The class-A circuit used in the COMP-54 is similar to the one in the classic 2254 compressor that was designed in 1969. It quickly became a legend due to it´s totally unique sound character that is warm, smooth, sweet and musical. The COMP-54 uses a diode bridge as the gain control element, a method that is revered for its smooth way of operation. The controls in the COMP-54 are very flexible covering broad ranges of Ratio, Attack and Release times, including two Auto positions.

The Bypass switch is a true bypass where a relay switches the complete circuitry in or out. FMR Audio - RNLA.

Golden Age EQ-73. Golden Age EQ-73 The Golden Age EQ-73 delivers authentic Neve 1073 character, with its classic balance between warmth, clarity, and balls!

Golden Age EQ-73

If you haven't used an original 1073, and figure you'll never have the chance, think again. This unit provides a very good representation of what that "sound" is all about, for a fraction of the cost. But don't get hung up evaluating the unit on the basis of price/value. Yes, the EQ-73 is extremely affordable, but there's no compromises here, it's a professional piece of gear.

One thing that might throw you off and cause you to question purchasing one is that it is designed to connect directly with the Golden Age Pre73 preamp through an insert jack, which is the only connector the unit offers! Now that I've taken the EQ-73 through the paces I'm buying another for the other side of my stereo preamp. Golden Age Project Pre 73. This highly affordable device is based on the circuitry used in Neve’s legendary 1073.

Golden Age Project Pre 73

So can you really get a classic vintage preamp sound on a budget? Paul White Swedish Company ‘Golden Age’ Audio distribute many leading pro-audio brands in their part of the world, but they also manufacture their own range of microphones and accessories aimed at the project studio market. They first came to our attention when they launched a series of low-cost ribbon mics, and now the Pre 73 preamplifier joins their ‘Project’ range. Design & Construction Although the Pre 73 is based on the preamp section of the revered Neve 1073, it sells at an astonishingly low cost. This preamp conforms to the popular half-width, 1U-high format (so it could easily be fitted to a third-party rack tray if necessary) and all the casework is made from heavy, folded steel, finished in a retro dark red colour. The output is on separate jack and XLR connectors, again both balanced. Studio Test Golden Oldie? Pod Studio UX2. UCA222.
