WA 412
Quality components make the Warm differenceYou know if your front end's not right, the rest of your signal chain doesn't matter. Most pro engineers have laid down heavy cash for a top-quality mic preamp; it was simply the cost of entry for world-class sonics. Now, at Sweetwater, we're all about performance and value, and Warm Audio has upended that equation. The company doesn't cut corners on components, but they do order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down and delivers amazing value. Each channel of the WA-412 features a fully discrete, socketed op-amp (yes - it's swappable with other op-amps) with high headroom and low distortion - a defining sonic characteristic of these vintage console pres. Custom vintage-wound Altran USA transformers also contribute to the authoritative sound of the WA-412.Warm Audio WA-412 4-channel Microphone Preamp/DI Features:Based on a classic American console preamp design known for its punchy, bold sonicsFully discrete, transformer-coupled, through-hole component topologyCustom-wound, premium Altran USA input and output transformers on each channelDiscrete X520 socketed op-amp on every channelMay be user-swapped with most 6-pin, discrete op-amps65db of gain; 20dB pad (pads both mic and instrument inputs)Inputs: microphone (XLR), active instrument direct-injection (1/4")Outputs: transformer-balanced XLR and TRS.Tone button - switches input impedance from 600 ohms to 150 ohmsChanges tone of both mic and DI inputsPhantom power (+48 volts), switchable per channelLED metering per channelOutput trim knob per channel for exacting level control and sound sculptingInternal power supply (grounded, 3-pin IEC power cable)Why Buy From Me?I am an independent systems integrator, with 15 years of experience in the business. I have an extensive list of high-end clients, that range from top producers, engineers, universities and other major facilities. It is a real brick-and-mortar business. Every now and then, as a result of my transactions, there will be a surplus left of new equipment that was not included in the final project integration, after being ordered. These are assets that have to be liquidated.When I sell a NEW item: It is because, for some reason, it was ordered by my client but not used in the integration, and it has to be liquidated as to return the investment to the project owner/investor. NEW items are guaranteed to have FULL MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY and have never been opened or used. If the item has been opened my listing will clearly state the product as "Open Box". NEW products are NOT Re-packs, nor B-stock, nor Refurbished. They are guaranteed A-Stock products, just as they came out of the factory. When I sell a USED item: It was previously utilized by one of my customers and I have taken it as an exchange or partial payment for whatever they are buying next. I vouch that these items are in my possession, and I have inspected the product to be FULLY FUNCTIONAL, and in "very good" to "excellent" condition. Where do I buy the product from?:I have a relationship with over a 12 high-end equipment dealers, and in many cases I buy direct from the manufacturer's themselves. My channels are all legit, and guarantee (when new), that you will be covered by the item's original warranties and factory support.
