Warm Audio WA12 MKII

Great condition Warm Audio WA12 MKII mic preamp.

Description from online:

The new Warm Audio WA12 MKii is a discrete mono mic pre and DI based on the classic 312 style preamps. Utilising dual custom CineMag balancing transformers and quality components throughout, the WA12 represents a milestone in affordable high end recording technology.

Featuring mic and DI input with a whopping 71Db of gain the Warm Audio is dripping, with character, vibe and warmth and sounds great on voice, electric guitar and bass guitar and fat and punch on drums and percussion. The DI is located on the front panel allowing direct access for bass, keyboards and guitar as well as the main controls including a HI-Z switch, phantom power, -20Db pad switch, polarity switch and the Tone switch, which changes the input impedance from 600 ohms to 250 ohms.The tone setting has a dual purpose of matching the input impedance to better suit dynamic and condenser microphones, but it also changes the tonality of the signal making it fatter and darker.

Any instruments that need to sound richer or more exciting will benefit from being miked through the WA12 or at mix time, when you can re-amp your signals through the unit to benefit from the warmth that a transformer circuit brings.
