I'm in for 2 of the MP573 500 series kits ;D

 

[Tajmoben]

Do you have a rough ETA for the MP573 kits? I'd love to have a pair for my 51x rack!!!!

 

[JPK]

The first kits will ship around 15 of August.

Any news on that neveish 500 eq to go with the MP573?

 

[JPK]

This picture shows a prototype of the EQ573.
It is a 1073/1084 EQ module with extended frequencies, to be inserted before the the output stage of the MP573 preamp with a 3 wires side cable.
It can also be used as a stand alone EQ through its electronically balanced line input and output stages.

This project is moving forward very well.
The design is finished.
We are currently purchasing the various components to build the kits.
I expect it to be available during summer.

 

[Spiritworks]

Looks very nice. Will you be designing one to work in your standard rack along with the MP73 ?

 

[JPK]

Yes, it will be ported to our 1U rack system.

Hey. I just got my stereo tape simulator on Monday. Finished it today.

It sounds amazing! The build instructions were great! I'm very impressed. Shipping was very fast and everything was packed nicely. Thanks for the candy!

 

[matta]

The EQ looks insane! Are you using dual concentric Grayhills? Any idea at this point on the price? Paired with the EQ it would be a MEAN channel strip! Love the implementation of the additional freqs and switchable Q.

Cheers

Matt

Any idea at this point on the price?

When I enquired some time ago, JPK advised it would be similar pricing to the MP573, the kit sells for Euro275. The pre is awesome, a really professional kit and awesome sound. Cant wait for these EQ's, have two slots reserved for them.

I put together a couple of the pres for a friend , good documentation , complete one stop shopping
Sounds satisfying , couldn't ask for anything more [ other than a lower Euro , ha ! ]

Just finished an MP73 - untested but loved the entire process, was amazing fun.  Washing the board carefully with alcohol tonight, then it's time to build a PSU and rack this baby up along with a ClassicAPI VP26 for 2 flavors of preamp under one roof:

For those here who are interested, here is the first part of racking the MP73 up ( along with a VP26 ).  I will post the other 2 parts once they are done:

[JPK]

Happy birthday to you!

I just finished 1u racking a VP26 and a Sound Skulptor MP73 and I've blogged about it.  You can check it out here:

They both sound AMAZING, it's incredible being able to mix and blend between both sounds.
