This single-channel Warm Audio British microphone preamp is hand-wired and hand-assembled for a high-quality construction, while the 19-inch rack-mountable design supports easy storage.
- Single-channel, Class A, '73-style British microphone preamplifier: Equally shines on all types of microphones and sources including: vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through.
- 80dB of gain and fully discrete Carnhill transformer balanced signal path: There's no recording, mixing, or engineering task that WA73 can't handle.
- Tone button: Changes input transformer impedance for varying a tone.
- Hand-wired and hand-assembled: Classic '73-style preamplifiers were often hand-wired and so is WA73. It is hand-wired and hand-assembled, including the PCB components that are all populated by hand.
- Four-position, inductor-based high-pass filter: Includes 50, 80, 160, and 300Hz settings.
- Inputs/outputs: XLR microphone input, line level TRS input, TS send/receive insert jacks, XLR and TRS line level outputs, and direct-in, instrument input.
