Welcome to the Golden58 Stereo Tube Preamp-unique, original, yet reminiscent. Dripping with tons of tube character, grit and warmth. The perfect Companion for any Condenser Microphone AND BEYOND!
To start, THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION PRODUCT. There will only be 300 of these Golden58’s made. This is due to the rare nature of some of the components used. Once we run out, we run out…. For this reason we are capping this at a limit of 1 per customer please.
The Golden58 is a painstakingly made, high quality 2-Channel Microphone Tube Preamp. Utilizing 4 NOS input transformers! Each channel delivers 56db of Gain. All of this, combined with its six tubes and huge Polyprop caps, is bound to make all of your tube dreams comes true. The Golden58 captures that tube sound of the Golden-era in spades!
The circuit is all original, based around the 5879 tube(hence the name Golden 58), which is the US military equivalent of the EF86 tube used in famous British preamps. In fact, we feel it is very much the American Answer to those Classic preamps from across the pond, the Tele V series and 47 style pre’s, with a few tasteful upgrades to bring it from yesteryear into the modern age. With the handy voice filters and separate Line Input jacks, this simple, yet elegant, preamp can cover a lot of ground.
With the help of Hi-Fi wizard Damon Coffman (tube guru & founder of Coffman Labs), we took his truly unique design and molded it over the course of the last 2 years into what became the Golden58. It’s truly the perfect companion for any serious Condenser Microphone and a next level tool for post production work. This is the equivalent of purchasing a fully restored vintage preamp with NOS transformers and tubes. As the name suggests, its tone is as Golden as its front panel.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
