A Classic Made Affordable
The classic '87 is arguably the most widely-used large diaphragm condenser microphone in popular recording history. Rather than base our WA-87 circuit on current incarnations of this mic, we decided to closely follow the early circuit designs that date back nearly half a century. As is true with many classic microphones, engineers who have worked with different versions of these microphones often prefer the warmer, more forgiving nature of the earlier commercially available models. The desire to re-introduce the warm tone of this classic mic at an affordable price to an all new generation of recording artists was the inspiration behind the WA-87.
It All Starts with the Microphone
The importance of a good microphone cannot be overstated; but unfortunately, finding a truly great microphone within a budget has always been challenging for aspiring engineers. There are very usable microphones available for those on a budget; but top shelf, classic studio microphones are financially out of reach for most people. Warm applied all that they know about bridging this barrier into crafting a microphone that reaches the level of quality and sonics mostly found only in top shelf products, yet sells for a price that is down to earth.
Quality Components Make a Better Mic
The WA-87 features all discrete, premium components such as Fairchild FETs, tantalum, polystyrene, and WIMA film capacitors, and is rounded off with a CineMag USA output transformer.
The WA-87 proudly uses our own Warm Audio WA-87-B-50V custom capsule reproduction stylized after the classic K87 dual backplate/dual diaphragm capsule found in the early '87 microphones.
The WA (Warm Audio) brand of capsule is the result of several years of research, a lifetime of listening, and a passion for great sound. Above all else, Warm Audio capsules came from the desire to give customers far more quality/value than what they are used to getting in an affordable microphone. Every Warm Audio capsule is made in the same small assembly house in a clean-room environment, and packaged in its own protective jewel case until the moment it is loaded into the microphone. Every capsule visually inspected and electrically tested for imperfections. Every capsule is also made with all brass parts (no teflon or other cost saving material), and is carefully skinned from the same supply of high purity NOS Mylar (PET film). We are confident that you will be just as pleased with Warm microphone capsules as we are to offer them, and that they will give you a lifetime of great recordings and enjoyment.  |

Raising the Volume
A lot of preamps on the market do a good job of raising the volume of mics and instruments. Unfortunately, many pres are doing only that, raising volume. The super clean designs of today often leave the signal exiting the preamp sounding much the same as it did entering it.
If you are looking for a preamp to improve and shape your signal you will most definitely love the WA12 MKII. The WA12 MKII is designed to transform plain instruments and vocals into exciting tone. If your mixes lack depth, struggle to sound alive, or are just missing that professional touch you've always wanted, there is a good chance you will love the WA12 MKII.
Packed with Performance
The WA12 MKII is a completely discrete, high voltage, dual-transformer microphone preamplifier design with high gain (+71dB), high headroom, low noise, and an exciting sonic performance great for all types of recording applications. A high quality mic preamp is one of the most critical pieces needed to achieve the elusive 'larger than life' sound, and the WA12 MKII is more than capable of delivering.
Premium Components
The WA12 MKII is based around a discrete op-amp, the X731, which is Warm's own reproduction of the vintage classic Melcor 1731, considered by some to be the warmer predecessor to the modern 2520-style op-amp. The X731 can achieve vibrant, clean and lifelike tones; but can also be driven into mild saturation at much higher gain levels. The effects can be subtle, but very pleasing to the ear. The WA12 MKII can also accept any discrete op-amp on the market which conforms to the +/-16v, 2520 pinout standard.
When developing the WA12 MKII our ears played a big part in the design process. Using CineMag USA transformers and an all discrete signal path ensured that the WA12 MKII would have the building blocks to compete with the best sounding preamps on the market. We are very proud to offer such a robust/professional design in a small and affordable package. |

Ecoutez instantanément chaque appareil, seul ou en combinaison avec d’autres, changez leur ordre, envoyez-le dans la boucle parallèle d’effet et mémorisez ce nouveau réglage de manière à le rappeler plus tard sans effort. De vrai relais de contact permettent d’insérer ou retirer complètement n’importe quel appareil de la chaîne. Le Liaison ne contient que des composants de qualité mastering ce qui permet de ne pas colorer le son ou d’introduire des problèmes de latence: une parfaite comparaison A/B est donc possible.Des sorties pré et post Liaison permettent une écoute entre le son traité et originel.Les bus stéréo A et B peuvent être utilisés de manière indépendante ou branchés en série.Par exemple, si votre Bax Eq est connecté à l’insert #1, et votre limiteur est en insert #5, sélectionner #5 sur le bus A et #1 sur le bus B placera le limiteur avant le Bax Eq.Exemples d’utilisation:Enregistrement: Mémorisez vos réglages préférés pour la voix, la guitare, la grosse caisse etc... Vos préamplis, compresseurs et Eqs favoris sont maintenant disponibles en appuyant sur un seul bouton.Mixage: Mémorisez votre chaine de traitement idéal pour la finalisation du mix sur le bus A et utilisez le bus B pour une compression parallèle sur la batterie.Mastering: Quelle configuration sonne le mieux Le compresseur avant l’Eq Ou l’Eq avant le compresseur Quel limiteur est le plus approprié à la fin de votre chaîne Quel Eq voulez-vous utiliser sur votre boucle Mid/Side. Mémorisez vos réglages en fonction du style de musique et économisez du temps lors de votre prochaine session.- 6 boucles d’insert stéréo, assignables à 2 bus stéréo- Une boucle de traitement du signal en parallèle- Router, activer, inverser vos équipements analogiques et écouter instantanément- Rappel instantané de n’importe quelle configuration d’enregistrement, mixage ou mastering- Intégration totalement transparente avec le Dangerous Master  |
