Warm Audio WA-412 4 Ch Mic Preamp/Di

The WA-412 from Warm Audio is a four-channel preamp that is professionally designed for use for microphones and Hi-Z inputs enclosed in a 1 RU chassis housing. It's fashioned in the American console preamp style, which makes it capable to provide a punchy bottom end and smooth trebles. Each channel is intended for giving you 65 dB of gain, polarity switching, a 20 dB pad, 48V phantom power, a switchable impedance selector for tonal shaping, and knobs intended for both input gain and output; this is allowing for both precise and creative gain structuring of sound. You are given with capability to easily watch your signal with the use of the on-board LED meter for every channel.

Under the hood, you'll notice that each channel is designed using a discrete and socketed 6-pin X520 op-amp, which is built for helping in giving you a significant amount of headroom that comes along with minimal distortion characteristics. You'll also note the Altran input and output transformers. If you don't peak under the hood, you'll take comfort in the fact that these components are extending your low-frequency response all, and maintaining a pleasurable and open sound at the same time.
