Warm Audio WA12 – 500 Series Discrete Microphone Preamplifier
A fully discrete mic preamp for your 500-series rack, based on the classic API 312 circuit design. Features custom-wound Cinemag USA input and output transformers, up to 71dB of gain, a Tone switch (toggles input impedance between 600Ω and 150Ω), polarity reverse, -20dB pad, switchable 48V phantom power, and a 2 MegOhm true Hi-Z instrument input on the front panel.
Delivers warmth, character, and vintage console-style coloration rather than a sterile, ultra-clean sound — great for vocals, guitars, bass, and anything that needs some vibe. Comes in original box
