A-Designs EM-Gold

The EM-Gold’s combination of EM-Silver and EM-Red transformers make for the perfect sounding floor tom. It is also the preamp you should reach for when you want that speaker moving, low/mid thump from heavy guitars. The EM-Gold is ideal for fattening up thin-sounding sources; on mics lacking low mids or upper bass warmth; and mid transients, such as percussion and drums. It also shines on vocals, bass, and even drum machines. If you’re going to move air (the secret of a big sound), go for the Gold.

Choosing the color of the A-Designs EM-Gold

Transformers occupy a key position in circuit design due to their ability to affect  timbral quality. Apart from the utilitarian task of electronic isolation for noise-free operation materials are key. The alloys used for the transformer’s winding – along with the number of windings – will impart a distinct sonic quality. Nickel-wound transformers  provide a more transparent sound with an airy high end. While steel can impart a thick “Neve-like” midrange or low-end “API  growl”…you get the idea.

To give each preamp in the A-Designs Audio EM-Series its own unique character, each has custom-wound transformers using proprietary A-Designs alloys that have been painstakingly tested to produce the perfect sound for the right application….but that doesn’t mean that the EM-Series preamps are one-trick ponies – far from it! What it does mean is that decades of collective experience between A-Designs Audio and highly respected audio professionals have  taken the guesswork out of finding the right preamp for the job.  Think of each of the EM series preamps as the master of a specific domain in the frequency spectrum.

For example, the EM- Silver is stunning on the lower frequencies thanks to its steel-wound transformer, making it a perfect choice for bass or kick  drum, while the EM-Blue’s nickel transformer provides the clarity needed to bring out the “crack” on snare drums, or to gently coax the highs from ribbon mics…
