This is a discrete, dual-transformer, high voltage mic pre that offers high headroom, a low noise floor, and sonics designed to impart a larger-than-life quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased around an X731 opamp derived from the Melcor 1731, the pre offers a sound that can be warm or clean, saturated or transparent, depending on how hard you drive it. Drive it softly or hard, it won't change the essential sonorous quality of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also customizable for the DIY crowd: Because the unit was designed around the X731 opamp, the pre can accept any discrete opamp on the market that conforms to the 16V, 2520 pinout standard. In addition to the opamps, the WA12 MkII employs CineMag USA transformers, as well as other components that allow it to compete with units far more costly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis preamp offers XLR and 1\/4\" connections for mic level, line level, or Hi-Z instruments. You'll also have your choice of XLR or 1\/4\" TRS outputs. A pad switch is on hand, as are a polarity switch and a button to supply 48V phantom power to condenser mics. A tone control lets you change the impedance from 600 to 150 ohms, which will have an effect on the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html text_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes premium grade input and output USA CineMag transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e71 dB of gain, fully discrete signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be replaced with other 6-pin 2520-foot print opamps for varying tone\/flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone button switches the input impedance from 600 ohms to 150 ohms, changing the tone of both the microphone and Hi-Z inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-megohm Hi-Z input on front panel, sends instrument signal through entire circuit including both Cinemag transformers and the discrete opamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for guitars, bass, keyboards, and other instruments that have a 1\/4\" output jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput attenuation control (after the CineMag output transformer) allows for driving the preamp and transformers into saturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED meter gain indication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal power plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore information - \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wa12mkii\/\"\u003eWarm Audio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53126400115027,"sku":"WA12MKIIB","price":459.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/1600645577-1590180.jpg?v=1772308391","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/warm-audio-wa12-mkii","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
