Warm Audio Wa12 Mkii

Description

Professional Microphone Preamplifier - New version

The WA12 MKII is a discrete, high-voltage, dual-transformer microphone preamplifier.

Designed to provide high gain values (+71dB), it boasts high headroom, low noise, and delivers exceptional sonic performance in a wide range of recording applications.

A high-quality microphone preamplifier is one of the most critical links in the audio chain and is essential for achieving a professional sound. Many preamplifiers on the market do a good job simply by boosting the signal from microphones and instruments.

The "super clean" sound, so fashionable these days, often means that the signal output from the preamplifier sounds more or less as it was at the input.

If you are looking for a preamplifier that improves and shapes your signal, the WA12 MKII is definitely the right choice.

If your mixes lack depth, struggle to stand out live, or simply lack the professional sound you've always wanted, there's a good chance you won't be able to do without the WA12 MKII. The WA12 MKII is based on a discrete op-amp, the X731, which is an accurate reproduction of the classic vintage Melcor 1731, considered by some to be the forerunner of modern 2520-style op-amps.

The X731 can achieve vibrant, clean, and realistic tones, but it can also be pushed into saturation in a subtle and barely perceptible way, or in a more violent and brutal manner! The WA12 MKII can also accommodate any discrete op-amp available on the market that conforms to the standard 2520, +/- 16v pinout.
