Warm AudioWA-MPX Single-Channel Tube Microphone Preamp

Warm Audio WA-MPX

Warm Audio brings us an authentic reproduction of the AMPEX Tube Pre with their WA-MPX preamp, featuring premium components for rich, warm, tape-era color and saturation. Using the AMPEX 351 preamp—the first reel-to-reel tape recorder—as a blueprint, WA-MPX aims to bring you an authentic vintage sound complete with a nice bit of tape saturation when you need it, or just get a subtle bit of coloration with clarity. Using three tubes, custom-wound CineMag transformers, and analog components that authentically recreate 15IPS tape saturation, the WA-MPX is your key for sonic creativity. Not just for microphones, select between Mic, Line and Instrument signals complete with a 1/4" input on front so you can easily plug in your bass, guitar, or synth for a nice bit of saturation. Switches for an 80Hz HPF, 2kHz LPF, Tone, and Tape Saturation gives you creatively restrictive controls and with a High Gain switch you can accurately capture high output devices with more clarity than saturation. Warm Audio's WA-MPX is perfect for any studio. Period. It sounds exceptional, looks great, and will give you that special something that separates good from great.
