General

The Golden Age Audio PRE-73 Dlx MKII preamp stacks up some extensive options, starting with the rich sonic character of the Carnhill transformer in the microphone preamp itself and ending with HPF and Air Boost controls. This unit is ideal if the feel of the preamp that came built into your audio interface is a bit lacking in colour, especially since the PRE-73 Dlx MKII has been directly based on the Neve 1073 preamp. To bring every bit of flavour out of the audio you're recording, you get a four-step high-pass filter for keeping the lower frequencies under control and, because some 1073-style preamps tend to sound a little dark, the extra Air Boost function can be engaged at any moment to inject the sound with some more modern sparkle.

Radial Introduces the McBoost Preamp for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones

Wednesday 11 November 2015 By Lizanne

It's a common occurrence in the studio or during live performances - you make a recording, but the signal is low, the fader on your console is on max and you're out of headroom. The signal is simply too weak and starts to distort when you try to amplify it with a compressor or gain plugin. Radial comes to the rescue with the McBoost - a microphone preamplifier that will add up to 25 dB to the incoming signal, ideal for consoles or audio interfaces that need a little extra oomph!
