GC Audio is proud to introduce a new preamp that extends the GC Audio cartridges family \u2013 based on a, now classic,\u00a0design by Jakob Erland, founder of Gyraf Audio and designer of many high-end studio gears like the G9 preamplifier or the G22 compressor.<\/p>\n

Jakob Erland is universally recognized as one of the leading experts in tube hardware design.<\/p>\n

He is also very popular in the DIY community where he provides free help.<\/p>\n

The GY 4.5 Inherit cartridge is, as its name implies, a single channel of the famous Gyraf Audio Gyratec 9 preamp. Faithful to the original in every detail.<\/p>\n

GC Audio GY 4.5 is a genuine tube preamplifier: Coming with two ECC82 running on high voltage, no solid-state component in the signal path, input\/output balanced by high-end Lundahl transformers.<\/p>\n

The goal with this design is to achieve everything from a completely clean to a possibly very colorful sound imprint. All under the total control of the user. The most important aspect of this circuit is its very slow transition to overload \u2013 it has a sweet spot that seems to last for ages. We recommend it e.g. for vocals, where by raising gain and lowering output volume, you can get a nice dense analog saturation without overloading your converters. This cartridge is a real creative tool.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em> The preamp-as-a-<\/em>cartridge<\/em> is simply a great idea<\/em> : In this day and age where you can have clean and neutral preamps virtually for free with your converters, you don\u2019t want a big stack of the same type preamp \u2013 you want variety, something that matches the individual microphones and sources you are working with. The inherit <\/em>cartridge<\/em> system gives you exactly this \u2013 the ease of trying out a variety of flavors \u2013 the possibility of finding that sonic imprint that\u2019s just right for what you have at hand<\/em><\/p>\n

The G9, which the GY 4.5 <\/em>cartridge<\/em> is based on, is an adaptation of the input circuit of the G36 tape recorder, that I have used and loved since I was a kid.. Update includes transformer balancing in and outputs, phantom power, switchable high-pass filter and switched gain settings\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
