The IK Multimedia T-RackS EQ 73 - Preamp & EQ Plug-In Downloadfrom IK Multimedia T-RackS EQ 73 - Preamp & EQ Plug-In Downloadis a plug-in module based on part of a classic, large-format British mixing console, and features a preamp section and 3-band EQ. The original hardware was first introduced as a standalone rackmount module in 1970, and quickly became a studio staple, favored by recording engineers the world over for its rich harmonics and full Class-A sound.

All of the gain stages, circuit designs, and EQ curves and shapes been extensively modeled in the software, including the preamp behavior, saturation, and preamp/EQ interaction. The tone-shaping capabilities don't stop with the analog-sounding EQ, since the preamp section is able to add "grit" or distortion to tracks, resulting in a wider sonic palette.

The 3-band EQ can be used to add character to even the most "sterile" or cold tracks. High-end air and low-end punch can be boosted without ever sounding harsh or boomy, while the "presence" band is an invaluable tool for sculpting the body of a track. The plug-in can sound great on virtually every audio source, but especially kicks, snares, overheads, bass, guitars and vocals.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How useful for a DJ setup?

A: The specific equipment used in the DJ setup would dictate how useful the addition of the Golden Age Project EQ-73 Premier Vintage-Style 3-Band Equalizer into the signal chain would be. Most DJ mixers feature similar onboard EQ that would render the EQ-73 relatively redundant. Another consideration is the EQ-73's single channel connectivity where most DJ setups utilize stereo outputs.

Q: 2. 110 and 220 Volts or just 110? +4dBu or -10dBV?

A: The Golden Age Project EQ-73 3-Band Equalizer comes with a separate 24V AC power adapter. The power adapter that is included with the EQ-73 that B&H sells is intended for use in North America and is designed for 110V. The nominal operating level is -18 dBu. The EQ-73 cannot be used as a standalone EQ. It is made to be used together with the Golden Age Project PRE-73 Preamp which has has an insert jack. The control range for the EQ-73 is +/-15 dB for the low and mid frequency bands, and +/-18 dB for the high frequency band. The nominal operating level is -18 dBu.

Q: 3. Would this unit work well to EQ lavalier mics? Mobile DJ who uses them in many different environments. Thanks!

A: This equilizer would be used to adjust the main output of a sound mixer system, and would allow you to focus in frequencies that may be causing feedback. Idividual channels on a mixing board would be used to adjust the microphones.

Q: 4. Is it compatible with mounting celestron advanced cg5 gt?

A: It works with my CG-5 mount, which I purchased in 2003.

Q: 5. will this one will work with nexstar 60SLT ?

A: No, the Celestron NexStar+ EQ Hand Controller is only for EQ mounts, and can only be used with the Celestron NexStar 60 SLT 2.4"/60mm Refractor Telescope Kit if one flashes the firmware for the AZ mounts. A better option is to get the Celestron NexStar+ AZ Hand Controller, BH #CENSHCUA (https://bhpho.to/3K5P93F).

Q: 6. is this control will work with nexstar 60 SLT

A: for their Advanced VX, CGEM, CGEM II, CGEM DX, CGX, and CGE Pro motorized and computer-controlled equatorial telescope mounts ONLY

Q: 7. Will this work with an iMac?

A: It will work with many Macs, but not all. If you have a pair of earbuds with a built-in microphone, you can use these to test if your Mac will work, as these use the same wiring scheme as iRig Mic.

Q: 8. Weight?

A: The manufacturer has not specified the weight of the Golden Age Project EQ-73 MKII Equalizer but I would estimate that it is approximately 5 lbs.

Q: 9. When will I be able to use this mic with an iPhone 6 or 6S?

A: Immediately. It plugs into the headphone jack and works like any other mic or headset.

Q: 10. Will this work with an Advanced GT, maybe with a firmware change?

A: Yes, the NexStar+ EQ Hand Control is compatible with the older Advanced GT mount.
