Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII which is a budget Neve 1073 style preamp. This offers +80dB of gain with 2 high pass filters and 2 high shelf filters as well as a variable mic input impedance. For a budget outboard pre, this thing is very powerful and versatile.

SOOOO glad that you're doing outboard pre reviews! There are surprisingly little out there on RU-vid. Looking forward to more!

@peepeeland 3 года назад

One thing you mentioned but didn't test, is one of the PRE-73 series' greatest strengths-- cranking the gain and lowering output. One reason why this series by GAP is so versatile, is because it can do clean gain well but can also color mics in a way that can change some fundamental characteristics. Cranking gain and lowering output results in more midpush and creation of upper harmonics (saturation)- and can also get into absurd levels of coloring. Having this ability allows one to get so much more out of their mics. This is possibly some kind of "happy accident" in design, though, because other mic pres out there that use 1073 topology for their circuits, actually don't color as easily.

I think the biggest thing I would add to external preamp reviews is samples of more types of microphones, kind of like how you do mic comparisons in your mic reviews. There are some preamps that work better with some microphones, and other preamps that work better with others. At least that's how I see it. Other than that, I think that you cover pretty much everything that someone would want to know before buying an external preamp. Keep up the great content Bandrew

@kesamek8537 3 года назад

That high shelf on the SM7B sounds good to me as a realtime hardware eq, a reason I might consider one over a 'mic booster'. Maybe a good way to hear the 'character' of an outboard preamp is to run a whole mix in mono of a rock track (lot of cymbals and mids) into it and compare with the audio interface straight in.

@SAMA-ct2li 2 года назад

Brother I love you for the loudness warnings , Thankyou

@clintonmaher6930 3 года назад

You are going to see much more benefit from this and other similar pre's when used for music and singing as opposed to voice over or podcast work. The difference you are hearing is due to the transformers and the subtle saturation imparted by the gain stage. The transformer adds bottom end roundness and a softening/sheen to the top end. The saturation is also a form of compression - you could hear all this clearly on the guitar samples but also on your voice. What you should show in future reviews of pre's like this is the recorded waveforms of the outboard and interface pre's and the RMS of each file. Also running some drums or a beat through both of them line level would really show the differences between them in that regard as you'll see how differently they handle transients. You'll get a nice soft clipping and higher RMS from the Golden Age 👍

@DataHotep 3 года назад

I remember when I used to chase the preamp lol. After I got done chasing preamps a, b, c, d, and e, I realized that its didn't really matter that much. Kids are making hits with laptop microphones and no preamp these days. If the content is good, and the sound is decent, people don't really care that much.

@wearashirt 2 года назад

I would agree. But hearing such a difference isn't really the point of using elite equipment. It's more for subliminal effects, such as the persuasiveness of, say, an advertisement voice over. And for music - how influential and "unbeatable" it can be.

The review was great! Honestly, most reviews are much more based on opinion and quite often you get the impression, that they favour a piece of gear, just because.

@Jenovari 3 года назад

It might be interesting to use consistently the same standard set of common microphones, perhaps: sm57, u87, re20, sm7b, 4038, nt1, tlm103, at2020, and a common valve mic, maybe the ntk or z5600?

Totally agree with you, people that already have good mics and are looking for some saturation boxes would consider this pre. I have one of this and I kind don’t like the sound when is clipping even a little bit, because the metering is not precise we can’t really knows if we are blasting or just touching the red, specially with fast transients, with a snare for ex.

@godsdominatrix439 3 года назад

I would love to see pre-amp comparisons the way you do mic comparisons, using only one or 2 or 3 mics -- probably SM7b, an affordable condenser, and the U87 Ai. I think it would be a huge pain in the ass for you, but it would be immensely beneficial to the community, the way your mic videos already are. You're the reason I bought the Roswell k47 Mini. I then decided to get a channel strip. First I bought the ART Voice Channel, and then, since I felt I was getting better and more serious in my craft, I decided to spend a nice chunk of change to get the Manley Core. I still don't know if I made the right decision, but my thinking was that I wanted to get a pre-amp that would last me the rest of my life. I still have the Roswell k47 and a few lesser mics, and now feel that I probably should have experimented more with mics. With the dearth of information on pre-amps -- and also comparisons between them -- your work here with pre-amps (and channel strips would be cool, too) would be really helpful for us gear nerds. We will all waste time and money on junk equipment. Your recommendation to start with the mic rather than the preamp -- though I've heard it before (perhaps not loud enough) -- is the best take-away from the video.

@robertopistolesi2735 2 года назад

Hi Bandrew, you mentioned in this video connecting the outboard pre to the focusrite at line level. I believe though that there's no real line level with the focusrite 18i20. In other worlds you have no way of not passing through another stage of preamplification. I sold mine because of that. Did you just keep the gain level in the focusrite at zero then? Thanks

@iamcookbook 3 года назад

One thing about good preamps is that they stack better in the mix. When one sound is a little tighter and warmer and then you stack that on 15 tracks it helps the entire mix feel tighter and different mics and instruments tend to stay out of each others way. So where 2 or 3 channels might not make a huge difference, when you're mixing a bunch of drum mics, bass, vocals, keys, and a few guitars, the compounded effect is more musical and harmonic and dimensional than when you're stacking a bunch of preamps that are sterile, thin, or plain sounding. From there the real magic happens when you have the right mic and preamp for each instrument and then that helps everything sit separately in the mix and the sound stage is more open and detailed. Just my experience though, depends on how you want to use it.

@RigoMurillo 3 года назад

I have the GA Mk II and one of the transformers went out and started to make a hum. I sent it back to get repaired and then it worked well for a couple of months until the hum came back. Maybe the parts needed to be of better quality. Sound-wise, it was good, but a bit grainy in the mids for my taste. Especially if you are recording acoustic instruments, you may not get the right sound. I heavily rely on my Steinberg MR816x 8-Channel interface and my Avalon V5, which is fabulous. I also use the MOTU M2 and it delivers well without the need of an outboard preamp for most applications.

Just picked up a used one from Guitar Center last night for $230. I recorded with it all night, acoustics and vocals and bass and LOVE IT. The vocals cut like crazy with NO PLUGINS. It's got some natural saturation for sure. I had just sold an Audio Revive modded ART MPA11 and then bought a Presonus Studio Channel last week but am returning it now. The Golden Age blows them both away, particularly the Presonus which in my opinion is garbage for amateurs on a budget. I really heard no difference with the Presonus than with my 10 year old Line 6 UX2 interface.

@DannyKavka 2 года назад

Some say that one of the reasons analog recording sounds more flattering than digital is because analog supposedly picks up less of the undesirable qualities of the recording space. In practice, this could be because the high-end roll-off and transient softening found in vintage designs (and tape) filters out that highest level of background hiss and room reflections.

@7171jay 3 года назад

@podcastage The SM57/58 is affected much more than many other mics by the 300 ohm loading, much more so than the SM7b. It would have been cool for you to demo that with the Pre73 Lower impedances have almost no affect on transformerless condenser mics, a little bit on some condensers that have transformers and dynamic mics are kind of all over the map how they act. Like I said the SM57/58 are most affected by loading and they can even get a bit too warm and dark but it's a cool sound for some things and eq'ing some highs in after the fact leads to a different sound than just running a 57 into a micpreamp with the more standard 3k - 5k ohms input. As always you do great job on your reviews and in this case pointing out things like how subtle a micpreamp can be compared to the standard interface preamps is really important for people to understand. An external pre can be a cool optional extra but as you said it isn't going to make crap into gold.

Bandrew, please, tell me one thing - I have Golden Age Pre-73 MKIII and SM7B. I live in the village, in quiet place. Only one road, 3-4 cars per hour. I have acoustic panels in my room. Generally - very, very quiet environment. BUT I have a lot of noise in my recording - your test SM7B is shocking for me. I connect my SM7B to GA Pre-73 with very good XLR cable. GA is connected to Focusrite Clarett. And I have still -50dB noises in my recording. In Low-Z mode I got -55dB level noise. If I connect SM7B direct to Clarett, I also have very high level of noise, even if I try connect through CloudLifter, Dynamite or FetHead. SM7B is ok, I tried also another one of my friend, so where can be a problem? And the same situation with all equipment which you tested on your channel and I own - every time I'm not able to believe you have "clear" signal, without processing, de-noising and so on. This doesn't mean I don't believe you - I believe, of course, but I want to get the same result! What can I check, improve, change - would you tell me?

How did the box get off the floor?

Sad that you can't access the channel for now.

ART TPS II. I believe you reviewed their single unit before but this is a cheap rack mounted stereo tube preamp. You could get some content out of it to feed the beast.
