Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Warm Audio's WA73 is a single-channel, '73-style microphone preamp for recording and live work. Its fully discrete Carnhill transformer-balanced signal path delivers up to 80 dB of gain. The preamp is described for condenser, dynamic, and ribbon microphones, with applications spanning vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, and keyboards. It can also be used as a tone-shaping stage for partial or complete mixes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording a vocal, guitar, bass, drum, percussion, orchestra, or keyboard source through one preamp channel.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
