Some History Is Worth Repeating
In the golden age of tape recording, the original 351-style tube preamp became the king of studio technology, giving artists like Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Les Paul, Nat King Cole, Roy Orbison, and producers such as Steve Albini - a timeless sound that is still chased by the masters of audio engineering today. With high-quality components, a circuit design faithful to the original, and selectable tape saturation, the WA-MPX faithfully reproduces all of the original analog vibe, adding classic warmth and color to your mix.
An Authentic Vintage Experience
The WA-MPX preamps are hand-wired with 100% discrete electronics. Each channel has 3 tubes, and with the high gain switch on, the WA-MPX delivers a staggering 90dB of gain. Each channel features custom-wound large-core CineMag transformers on the inputs and outputs, which takes the preamp circuitry up to 300V. WA-MPX pres are housed in a steel chassis with a brushed aluminum faceplate, vintage-style knobs and his amber meters. All of these key components, combined with traditional construction, not only provide a classic 'tape age' tube preamp, but one of the best value all-tube mic preamps available today. Following Warm's formula for staying faithful to classic sounds with premium components, every WA-MPX is meticulously hand inspected and tested at Warm Audio headquarters in Austin, Texas.
A Tube-Based Tone-Shaping WorkstationUsing three premium tubes per channel, two 12AX7 and one 12AU7, the WA-MPX provides high headroom and harmonically rich classic analog sounds found only in the most sought-after tube mic preamps on the market.
American-Made Transformer From CineMag
The history of the CineMag Transformer dates back to the 1940's and was associated with some of the most popular audio equipment of the last century. The CineMag output transformers in the WA-MPX pre is custom wound with a very large core. As with all CineMags, WA-MPX's input and output transformers are made in the USA and manufactured to exacting standards. The huge headroom and additional analog color of the transformers blend beautifully with the select tubes in the WA-MPX.
