'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 “WA73 Family” consists of single and dual channel '73-style amps (with and without EQ), that each pay careful homage to British audio history. The WA273 is a “Desert Island” boutique preamp, but it can also be classified as a studio and live work-horse. Classic '73-style preamps are known for being versatile tools that work with all kinds of microphones from Condenser, to Dynamic, to Ribbon. The WA273 equally shines on all types of microphones and sources including; vocals, acoustic\/electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through. With 80dB of gain and a fully discrete Carnhill Transformer balanced signal path, there's no recording, mixing, or engineering task that the WA273 can't handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stage that decides what your converters get.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete or tube gain stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean headroom at high gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles ribbons and dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack mountable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the WA273 Dual Channel British Mic Pre?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA microphone preamp does more than make a signal louder.
