The Warm Audio WA 12 MK2 is a fully discrete microphone preamplifier that features premium Cinemag American-made input and output transformers, and in addition to amplifying, it can also saturate your sound nicely. Inside you'll find the same guts as top studio equipment, but at a fraction of the price and in a pleasingly compact package.
Inside is the X731 discrete operational amplifier, which can handle both crystal clear signal amplification and subtle saturation if you turn the gain knob hard right (definitely do it, you'll enjoy the feeling of intense happiness).
Of course, there are other highlights such as phantom power, a Tone knob for switching the input impedance between 600 and 150 Ohms, a -20 dB attenuation pad, and gain up to 71 dB.
