The WA73 utilises Class-A, fully-discrete electronics for optimal audio fidelity. The versatile design means it can work with a variety of equipment including Condenser & Ribbon microphones. As well as being highly suited to a range of studio microphones, the WA73 is also great for a wide variety of instruments. From electric guitars and basses to drums, percussion, keyboards and more; the WA73 ensures optimal audio performance throughout.
One of the most unique features of the Warm Audio WA73, is the hand-wired and hand-assembled design. The comprehensive yet ergonomic control section is comprised of a 80dB gain switch, as well as a Tone button and a 4-position inductor based hipass filter. The Tone control changes the input transformer impedance, resulting in a varied tone for added flexibility, ideal for use with instruments and vocals alike. With 80dB of gain in total, the preamp gives you more than enough headroom to process a range of instruments and microphone types. The hipass filter is great for removing unwanted low-end response, highly useful when it comes to recording microphones and high-end-based instruments.
It features a vast range of connectivity, allowing you to connect a variety of external musical instruments and equipment. It boasts an XLR mic input, line-level TRS input, TS Send/Receive insert jacks, as well as XLR & TRS line-level outputs. A direct input is also included for processing and recording instruments such as electric guitars. There is also an output control potentiometer for controlling your levels with ease.
The streamlined and ergonomic layout provides annotated controls with high-quality fittings, optimising your workflow. The WA73 utilises tantalum and polystyrene capacitors and an output transistor choice for a smooth response when the gain settings are pushed. Additionally, it boasts built-in 48V Phantom Power, a Polarity switch, a ground lift switch and a built-in LED level meter.
