GTIN: 0850031640160
Single-channel all-tube mic preamp recreating the tape-era 351 style, up to 90 dB of gain, tape saturation, 80 Hz high-pass and 2 kHz low-pass filters, CineMag transformers.
Warm Audio WA-MPX Single-Channel Tube Mic Preamp
The Warm Audio WA-MPX is a reproduction of the 351-style tube mic preamps used in tape-era studios. Its hand-built circuit uses three tubes (two 12AX7 and one 12AU7) and custom large-core CineMag USA transformers, with high headroom and a sound that ranges from very clean to saturated.
A High Gain switch adds 20 dB of tube gain (from 70 to 90 dB) for low-output dynamic and ribbon mics. The Tape Saturation control uses a discrete diode ladder to compress and roll off the highs like a reel-to-reel machine at 15 ips, and the 80 Hz high-pass and 2 kHz low-pass filters shape the sound before recording.
