About this listing
If
there’s one style of preamp that professional engineers would
unanimously agree has defined the tone of pop/rock records for decades,
it would most definitely be the venerable '73-style of mic pre.
'73-style preamps have been massively used in recording and live
applications for many years and are still considered to be the “Holy
Grail” of preamp choices today. The Warm Audio “WA73 Family” consists of
single and dual channel '73-style preamps (with & w/out EQ), that
each pay careful homage to British audio history.When we at Warm
Audio decided to release the WA73-EQ it was imperative that it met
vintage expectation in both design and performance. The tone and sweet
character that vintage '73-style mic preamps impart is so unique and
familiar, that we had only the pure desire to release sonically accurate
reproductions. After years of R&D, careful reverse-engineering, and
countless hours of auditioning, the WA73-EQ was born!The WA73-EQ
is a “Desert Island” boutique preamp, but it can also be classified as a
studio and live work-horse. Classic '73-style preamps are known for
being versatile tools that work with all kinds of microphones from
Condenser, to Dynamic, to Ribbon. The WA73-EQ equally shines on all
types of microphones and sources including; vocals, acoustic/electric
guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a
tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through. With 80dB of
gain and a fully discrete Carnhill Transformer balanced signal path,
there’s no recording, mixing or engineering task that the WA73-EQ can’t
handle.
