Warm Audio WA-412

The Warm Audio WA-412 is a 4 channel microphone preamplifier in the style of classic American console preamps, bundled in a 1RU case. With a huge defined low end and smooth top end, these styles of preamps are often referred to as the sound of Rock n' Roll. At the price point the WA-412 is offered at, it's almost unheard of to get get this kind of quality in a four channel preamp - offering socketed 6 pin op amps and custom wound Altran USA input / output transformers there's nothing left to be desired from this box.

With all the standard controls that you've come to expect from preamps of this kind, the fact that there's even more controls sweetens the deal further. With an added output trim for precision gain structuring, a tone switch that allows the user to select between a punchy and warm sound or a more neutral one - on every channel - the WA-412 is more than full featured.

Each channel on the WA-412 boasts a fully discrete socketed op amp that can be swapped out for other opamps of your preference. Discrete opamps are known for the high headroom and the low distortion, which has a heavy influence on the sound of these classic style preamplifiers.
