Warm Audio WA73

KEY FEATURES

What you need to know

• Like the original 73-series British console preamp, the WA73 series pres include all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.
• The high-pass filter makes it easy to remove unwanted noise from the bass frequencies that plague recording and mixing.
• Switchable unbalanced send/return inserts make it possible to add a compressor, EQ, or your favorite processing gear before hitting the output transformer.
• The classic Warm Audio “tone” control alters the input transformer impedance from 1200Ω to 300Ω, adding “air” or “sheen” to the top end - great for ribbons or “darker” mics.
• The WA73 also includes critical preamp features like 48V phantom power, instrument & line-level inputs, XLR/TRS input/output options, and polarity inversion to handle varying recording demands.
