Warm Audio WA73 1073 Style Mic Pre

The Warm Audio WA73 is a single-channel, Class-A microphone preamp that is professionally designed capable of providing up to 80 dB of gain for musicians, engineers, producers, and vocalists in mobile-recording rigs and project, home, and commercial studios. It comes featuring a 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, ground lift, polarity, and phantom power are switchable. Connect an outboard compressor or equalizer by using the 1/4" TS insert send and return jacks. Balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs are fed by an output level control and built 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 WA73 is rack-mountable and occupies 1 RU.
