GoldMike Mk2

Dual-Channel Microphone and Instrument Preamplifier

The GoldMike Mk2 combines Class-A transistor with a tube preamplifier.

The transistor stage is composed of single transistors in a Class A design and works in series with a tube preamplification stage that provides 6dB to 18dB of tube gain for subtle to more obvious saturation effects.

Like its successful predecessor, the GoldMike Mark2 retains a hybrid solid state and tube construction to combine the best of both worlds.
The transistor stage is composed of single transistors in a class A design. The circuitry is fully discrete, and each transistor is completely optimized for its specific task. You will not find any IC’s in this preamplifier stage because they cannot be optimized for this specific application to the degree we aimed for.
This all new discrete class A transistor stage is a genuine innovation in the entire preamplifier market at this price level.

• Frequency response ‹10Hz bis 90kHz (-3dB)
• THD+N (Input level -30dBu, 30dB Gain) 0,016%
• Noise (A-w., R=40Ohm, 30dB Gain) -91,2dBu
• Dynamic range (30dB Gain) 110dB
• E.I.N. 128dBu
