WA-412

Four-Channel American Mic Pre

Truly recreating the iconic sound of punchy, clean-to-mean console preamps

MSRP $1299

  1. Clear, Punchy, & Unapologetically Analog

    The WA-412 truly recreates 4-channels of iconic sound of punchy, clean-to-mean American console preamps. Like the original “clean to mean” 12-style preamps, the WA-412 delivers the best of authoritative American console tones favored by artists like The Eagles, Prince, Toto, Eminem, Madonna & many more.

  2. 4-Channels Of American Console-Grade Tone

    The WA-412 instantly adds 4-channels of console-quality all-analog front-end to your setup. More than just “more gain”, the WA-412 preamps add defined harmonics and tone-shaping that only discrete analog circuitry can replicate. With 65 dB of warm analog gain, and a fully discrete Altran USA transformer balanced signal path, the Warm Audio WA-412 delivers professional results with vintage-vibe on every track.

Key Features

What you need to know

Like the original 12-series American preamps, the WA-412 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.

The output control can be highly useful in 'sculpting' the sound of the preamp, providing precise control and creative gain staging. For example, high-gain/low-output produces more overdriven, harmonically rich tone, while low- gain/high-output produces more open, dynamic, & articulate tone.

The WA-412 includes critical preamp features to help handle recording challenges. The Polarity button allows you to handle phase issues by inverting the polarity 180 degrees. The -20 dB pad helps manage loud sources paired with sensitive mics. The LED metering makes it easy to check for clipping before hitting your interface. Selectable 48v phantom power is available to power any mic that requires it. The classic Warm Audio “tone” control alters the input transformer to add “air” or “sheen” to the top end - great for ribbons or “darker” mics.

The WA-412 features multiple input connections with rear XLR and front Hi-Z input options. The Hi-Z connection on the front has a dedicated switch and passes through a JFET for ideal professional direct recording of bass and guitar.
