Warm Audio WA12-MKII-ORANGE Single Channel Preamplifier - Orange

Warm Audio WA12-MKII-ORANGE Single Channel Preamplifier - Orange

The engineers and artists at Warm Audio design their products out of need, and the world needed a super-clean preamp with character, and so the WA12 MKII was conceived. A quality preamp with high headroom, low noise, and an astounding amount of character, the WA12 MKII was designed around authentic Cinemag transformers and a custom discrete op-amp designed in-house at Warm, the X731.

The WA12 MKII’s design allows you to push the amp and transformers for a subtle saturation, and a special tone button on the front panel switches input impedance from 150 to 600 ohms, changing both the tone of the Hi-Z and microphone inputs, allowing you to experiment with the MKII’s exciting sonic potential. The WA12 MKII was designed to warm, color, and shape your signal with a true analog signal path that’s easy to use and exciting to hear.
