Warm Audio WA12 MKII Mic Preamp/Di

The WA12 MKII Dual-Transformer Microphone Preamplifier from Warm Audio is professionally designed for high gain (+71 dB), high headroom, and low noise. It is built suitable for all types of recording applications. It is created based around a discrete op-amp, the X731, considered to be the predecessor to the modern 2520-style op-amp. The X731 is capable of achieving a vibrant, clean, and lifelike tones; but also capable to be driven into mild saturation at much higher gain levels. The WA12 MKII is also capable of accepting any discrete op-amp, which is conforming to the ±16V, 2520 pin out standard.

  • Utilizes premium grade input and output USA CineMag transformers
  • 71 dB of gain, fully discrete signal path
  • Can be replaced with other 6-pin 2520 foot-print op-amps for varying tone/flavor
  • TONE button - Switches the input impedance from 600 Ohms to 150 Ohms, changes the tone of both the microphone and HI-Z inputs
  • 2-MOhm True HI-Z input on front panel, sends instrument signal through entire circuit including both Cinemag transformers and the discrete op-amp
  • Suitable for guitars, bass, keyboards, and other instruments that have a 1/4" output jack
  • Output attenuation control (after the CineMag output transformer) allows for driving the preamp and transformers into saturation
  • LED meter gain indication
  • External power plug
