Dual-Channel Mic Preamp
The Warm Audio preamp is ideal for both studio and live applications, with its versatile design ensuring optimal audio fidelity no matter the input source. The WA273 utilises fully discrete Class- A electronics, suited to a wide range of equipment. From Condensers to Ribbon microphones and from electric guitars to pianos, the WA273 will process it all, in immense detail.
In-Depth Control Section
The comprehensive yet ergonomic control section is comprised of a 80dB gain switch, as well as a Tone button and a 4-position inductor based hipass filter. The Tone control changes the input transformer impedance, resulting in a varied tone for added flexibility, ideal for use with instruments and vocals alike. With 80dB of gain in total, the preamp gives you more than enough headroom to process a range of instruments and microphone types. The hipass filter is great for removing unwanted low-end response, highly useful when it comes to recording microphones and high-end-based instruments.
Versatile Connectivity
It features a vast range of connectivity, allowing you to connect a wide range of external musical instruments and equipment. It boasts an XLR mic input, line-level TRS input, TS Send/Receive insert jacks, as well as XLR and TRS line-level outputs. A direct input is also included for processing and recording instruments such as electric guitars. There is also an output control potentiometer for controlling your levels with ease.
Rack-Mountable Design
The streamlined and ergonomic layout provides annotated controls with high-quality fittings, optimising your workflow. The WA273 utilises tantalum and polystyrene capacitors and an output transistor choice for a smooth response when the gain settings are pushed. Additionally, it boasts built-in 48V Phantom Power, a Polarity switch, a ground lift switch and a built-in LED level meter.
