If there’s one style of preamp that professional engineers would unanimously agree has defined the tone of pop/rock records for decades, it would most definitely be the venerable '73-style of mic pre. '73-style preamps have been used in recording and live applications for many years, and are still considered to be a holy grail of preamp choices today. The Warm Audio WA73 Family consists of single- and dual-channel '73-style preamps (with & without EQ) that each pay careful homage to British audio history.

It was imperative for Warm Audio to match the tone and sweet character of the vintage ‘73-style mic preamps to create a sonically accurate reproduction with the WA273-EQ. Easily classified as a studio and live workhorse, the WA73-EQ is a versatile tool that will work with all kinds of microphones whether a condenser, dynamic or ribbon mic. The WA273-EQ equally shines on all types of sources: vocals, 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-EQ can’t handle.
