Recommended for engineers seeking a punchy preamp with loads of coloration when pushed, the RE-73 Cartridge from GC Audio is a preamp module designed exclusively for the Inherit Modular Preamp System. Designed as a reissue of the preamp in a famous British mixing console from the '70s, the RE-73 cartridge features plenty of improvements for the best possible results in modern recording scenarios.
When loaded into an Inherit chassis, the RE-73 provides a -20 dB attenuation pad for reining in overly hot signals. The VTB9045 high-end shielded transformer protects against excessive EMI and works with the ultra-low noise transistors in the preamp for extremely quiet operation. Stepped gain control is digital on the RE-73, helping to further isolate the signal from any noise that might arise from the panel controls. Finally, the PCB features a carefully selected routing path for the most efficient signaling possible with this design.
