Description

Warm Audio WA73-EQ 1073 Style Mic Pre W/Eq

The Warm Audio WA73-EQ is a single-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 project, home, and commercial studios. It comes featuring custom Carnhill transformers and is wired and assembled by hand for delivering the sound and functionality of classic British '73-style preamps.

Its inputs come including balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks and one front-panel 1/4" TS instrument input. Input impedance, polarity, ground lift, and phantom power are switchable. Connect an outboard compressor or equalizer by the use of the 1/4" TS insert send and return jacks. Balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs are fed by an output level control and intended for 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 is boasting selectable frequencies and Blore Edwards dual-concentric potentiometers. The WA73-EQ is rack-mountable and occupies 1 RU.
