Rest assured, though: in keeping with Golden Age policy, no integrated circuits are used in the signal path. The result is definitive, vintage-style British EQ that packs a massive punch. Make your music stand out with the muscular lows, assertive mids, glossy highs, and the powerful, tone-sculpting prowess of an enduring classic.

Inspired by original designs, Golden Age uses modern technology to re-create that lush, opulent sound, making it surprisingly affordable. They use some modern ingenuity to add new functionality to superb classic designs and produce them in a cost-effective way which allows them to be both optimized and affordable. Sweetwater’s advice: From outboard equipment to condenser, dynamic, and ribbon mics; you can outfit your entire studio with vintage-inspired Golden Age gear without exceeding your budget.About the Golden Age Project The Golden Age Project was founded in 2005 on the belief that vintage gear sounds best, and the desire to pass on this sonic legacy to a new generation of musicians, engineers, and producers. All-discrete, Class A signal paths with no integrated circuits; the use of transformers, stepped controls, and military-grade build quality: these are the cornerstones of the legendary British equipment deployed in world-class recording and broadcast studios in the 1970s — the Golden Age of analog. Fat, warm, punchy, and authoritative; this is the sound heard on countless hits for nigh unto half a century. Locating, purchasing, restoring, and maintaining vintage gear is time-consuming and costly. Fortunately, this small, family-owned Swedish company makes gear the same way it was made back in the day — at an amazingly accessible price.Golden Age Project EQ-73 MKII Vintage-style Equalizer Features: 3-band EQ with dual-inductor-based midrange band Vintage-style circuit with no ICs in the signal path Stepped frequency selector switches Extra frequencies added for broad coverage from 20Hz–24kHz Shelving LF and HF; bell-curve MF Boost/Cut: +/-15dB, LF and MF; +/-18dB HF Each band features its own Bypass switch Tantalum capacitors are used in the signal path TRS I/O; nominal operating level of approximately 18dBu May be used standalone or with Golden Age PRE-73 or other units with low-level insert jacks Defeatable Ground Lift External power supply (no interaction with audio circuitry) Classic sound, ideal for most sources and music styles Rugged build quality will provide many years of service SpecificationDetail Type Solid State Number of Channels One Bypass Yes Number of Bands 3 Boost/Cut Range ±15dB (LF, MF), ±18dB (HF) Freq Range High 8kHz-24kHz Freq Range Mid 160Hz-10kHz Freq Range Low 20Hz-300Hz Frequency Response 20Hz-24kHz Power Source Power Adapter (included) RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
