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 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.
It was
imperative for Warm Audio to match the tone and sweet character of the
vintage ‘73-style mic preamps to create a sonically accurate
reproduction with the WA273-EQ. Easily classified as a studio and live
work-horse, the WA73-EQ is a versatile tool that will work with all
kinds of microphones whether a Condenser, Dynamic or Ribbon mic. The
WA273-EQ equally shines on all types of sources: vocals, 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 WA273-EQ can’t handle.
