Warm Audio WA273-EQ 2 Ch 1073 Style Mic Pre W/Eq

The Warm Audio WA273-EQ is a dual-channel, Class-A microphone preamp and equalizer that is professionally designed capable of providing up to 80 dB of gain and 3-band EQ for producers, engineers, musicians, and vocalists in mobile-recording rigs and home, project, and commercial studios. It comes featuring a custom Carnhill transformers and is wired and assembled by hand in order to deliver the sound and functionality of classic British '73-style preamps.

Its inputs come including the balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks and two front-panel 1/4" TS instrument inputs. Input impedance, ground lift, polarity, and phantom power are switchable. Connect an outboard compressor or equalizer with the use of the 1/4" TS insert send and return jacks. Balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs are fed by output level controls and are allowing the compatibility with most audio interfaces and mixing consoles. The selectable high-pass filter is capable to be set to 50 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz, or 300 Hz for management of unruly bass frequencies.

The inductor-based EQ boasts selectable frequencies and Blore Edwards dual-concentric potentiometers. The WA273-EQ is rack-mountable and occupies 2 RU.
