THANK YOU!

Thank you for purchasing the Warm Audio WA73-EQ Single Channel British Microphone Preampliﬁer

with Equalizer. We feel this product offers the best in terms of the sound, function, and vibe from the

classic era of analog recording. We don’t cut corners when it comes to what goes into our products,

and the WA73-EQ is no exception. The WA73-EQ uses the highest quality custom input and output

transformers made by Carnhill Transformers UK. Classic ‘73-style preamps were often hand-wired and

so is the WA73-EQ! Guru’s claim that a portion of the sought after classic British tone can be attributed

to the hand-wired nature of the build. The WA73-EQ is hand-wired and hand assembled, including the

pcb components that are all populated by hand and class A signal path throughout. We are conﬁdent

you will love recording with the WA73-EQ.

WELCOME BACK TO THE WORLD OF ANALOG

Though digital technology and software have made great strides in their performance

in recent years; we still feel that nothing compares to the level of articulation, depth, realism, and

responsiveness of a well-built piece of analog gear. When you hear the bottom end presence and top

end detail of quality analog gear, the difference can be astounding. The cost of most boutique analog

equipment is ﬁnancially out of reach for many recording artists. Our mission is to change this, and

introduce as many people as we can to recording and mixing with real, dedicated hardware. Whether

this is the ﬁrst piece of outboard gear you’ve ever purchased outside of a recording interface, or merely

the ﬁrst in a long time; we thank you, and welcome you back to the world of analog.
