collapse expand iconDescription

The WA73-EQ British Mic Pre & EQ from Warm Audio pays faithful homage to the historic preamps that shaped iconic records of the 1970s. Warm Audio is proud to offer this dual-channel preamp, featuring the classic sound of yesteryear enhanced with modern tone-shaping tools. With its authentic all-steel chassis, high-end components and intuitive interface, the WA73-EQ helps you achieve lush, vibrant recordings worthy of a place in the annals of music history.

3-Band EQ Provides Surgical Control Over Your Sound

At the heart of the WA73-EQ lies its 3-band EQ, granting you meticulous command over the shape and texture of your tracks. Adjust the low, mid and high bands to eliminate rumble, add warmth, boost presence—whatever tones you desire. A high-pass filter lets you roll off unwanted low end with the turn of a knob. Whether you're capturing the rich body of an acoustic guitar or the articulate attack of a drum kit, the WA73-EQ puts you in the producer's chair.

Authentic '73-Style Circuitry for a Legendary Vintage Vibe

The WA73-EQ owes its classic character to faithful reproductions of revered '73-style circuits. Transformer-balanced inputs, a discrete transistor preamp design and premium op-amps harmonize to impart recordings with the depth, punch and open highs that defined an era. Two channels let you individually optimize signals from multiple sources before they hit your DAW or analog gear. With a frequency response of 20Hz to 30kHz, the WA73-EQ captures every nuance of your performance.

Rugged Build Quality and Versatile I/O for Professional Use

Housed in a durable all-steel chassis, the WA73-EQ handles the demands of both studio and live applications. XLR and 1/4" TRS connections provide compatibility with any mic or line-level device. Separate XLR outputs for each channel give you the flexibility to send signals to multiple destinations. Every component in the WA73-EQ's discrete signal path was selected to stand up to years of intense use without compromising audio quality. When only the best will do, you can rely on the WA73-EQ.

    I use this as di for my guitars and synths, as well as running vst synths through this. This rack unit is great for the modern hybrid workflow. It has line inputs so you can run you itb sources through this and give it some analog vibe. You can push the eq section very far and it still sounds musical. I use it to shape the general tone of my instruments, then itb I mostly just do cleanup eq with a digital eq. Even a small bump in the high low shelfs can work magic on input sources.

  • Neve sound for a excellent price

    I struggled with whether or not to buy the WA73 pre-amp due to price. There are so many other options out there for less. I finally decided that if this unit is preferred by professional level studios, then there must be a good reason for that. After recording with the WA73 and running some A-B tests on previous vocal recordings, I see what the people are talking about. The crisp, clean and full bodied tone is certainly noticeable. if you want your recordings to sound professional, you need professional level gear. I may eventually add another unit as I only bought the one channel.

  • The Sound Of A Classic Preamp

    This preamp section is amazing on any source, but is very colorful so keep that on mind. That happened to be exactly what I was looking for so it fit the bill perfectly. There is just the right amount of distortion and it sounds really fat! The Eq is like a bonus to me it is a really powerful Eq that makes a huge difference even when only boosting small amounts. All in all I love this unit and would recommend it to anyone.
