Description

Warm Audio Wa12 500 series microphone preamp

A lot of preamps on the market do a good job of raising the volume of mics and instruments.  Unfortunately, many pres are doing only that, raising volume. The “Super clean” designs of today often leave the signal exiting the preamp sounding much the same as it did entering it.

If you are looking for a preamp to improve and shape your signal you will most definitely love the WA12. The WA12 is designed to transform plain instruments and vocals into exciting tone. If your mixes lack depth, struggle to sound alive, or are just missing that professional touch you’ve always wanted, there is a good chance you will love the WA12.

When developing the WA12 our ears played a big part in the design process. I encourage you to listen to the sound samples with your ears and see what you think. People all over the world are loving it, and we are confident you will too.

The WA12 uses CUSTOM DESIGNED Cinemag input and output transformers MADE IN THE USA!  *Cinemag transformers are used in high-end products like the  Presonus ADL-700, A-Designs Pacifica, and Universal Audio LA-610.
