Warm Audio WA12 500-Series Mic Preamp

Classic API Tone, w/150 Ohm Impedance!!!

WarmAudio
TA12 500

Up for consideration is a Warm Audio TA12 500 mic preamp -- a modern recreation of the classic console mic pre, inspired by the vintage API 312. THEN, they add a couple of tone enhancing component choices, including a custom-wound Cinemag transformer and a 150-Ohm impedance setting. This is a great all-rounder mic pre that can be used for strings, ac. / el. guitars and even vocals. New, the API 512 mic pres are selling for $800 each, so here is a great opportunity to own a more versatile -- and perhaps even better sounding mic pre, and save $400!!!

CLASSIC VINTAGE API SOUND
WA12's have a great vintage API 312 character and tone that imparts a smoothness and musicality to your tracks. The custom Cinemag transfomer is wound in such a way to give the basic 312 circuit even more voluptuous midrange detail, and is now even better suited for vocals and acoustic instruments. In addition to the phenomenal-sounding basic API circuit, you also have an 150-ohm impedence TONE switch (killer on SM57s), as well as -20 dB pad, Phase, P48, and a front panel DI, all in the convenient 500-series format!!!
