Warm Audio WA273 British Mic Pre Review
The Warm Audio WA273 British Mic Pre is a powerful dual-channel, Class-A preamp built to match the legendary tone of vintage British consoles. It uses hand-wired construction, custom Carnhill transformers, and high-end components to deliver up to 80 dB of gain with a smooth, musical response. With switchable impedance, insert points, a stepped gain knob, and selectable high-pass filtering, it’s a versatile workhorse for any setup. Whether you're tracking instruments, vocals, or running outboard gear through it, the WA273 offers the color and control of classic gear at a much more accessible price.
