If there’s one style of preamp that professional engineers would unanimously agree has defined the tone of pop/rock records for decades, it would most definitely be the '73-style of mic pre. '73-style preamps have been massively used in recording and live applications for many years and are still considered to be the holy grail of preamp choices today. The Warm Audio WA273 is a dual-channel '73-style preamp that pays careful homage to British audio history and features phantom power, a high-pass filter rotary dial and switchable rotary dial for Line and Mic levels. It was imperative for Warm Audio to match the tone and sweet character of the vintage ‘73-style mic preamps to create a sonically accurate reproduction with the WA273.
Hand-Wired & Hand-Assembled - The the WA273-EQ is hand-wired, just like the classic 1073. Pros in the know claim that part of the 1073's classic tone can be attributed to its hand-wired build quality.
And just as the classic 1073 was known for being a versatile tool capable of working with all kinds of microphones, from Condenser, to Dynamic, to Ribbon, the WA273 equally shines on all types of microphones and sources as well, including; vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through.
