During the golden age of tape recording, this style of vintage tube preamplifier became the signature sound of the signal chain for so many hit recordings, including Elvis Presley, Les Paul, and Bing Crosby, and is a sound still sought after by today's greatest artists. Thanks to premium components, a circuit design faithful to the original, and tape saturation control, the WA-MPX authentically reproduces all the analog flavor of the original to give your sound vintage warmth and color. The WA-MPX is based on the 351-style tube preamplifier found on American tape machines that sparked the birth of rock 'n' roll and the biggest radio hits of the era. With an impressive 300V power and 90dB tube gain, the WA-MPX can reach remarkable levels, able to push the tubes to saturate just like the most iconic analog instruments. Hand-assembled with three premium tubes per channel matched with custom-wound CineMag USA transformers faithful to the original specifications, the WA-MPX authentically reproduces the analog sonorities of the original. The WA-MPX uses discrete analog components that provide compression, saturation, and non-linear frequency response for an authentic 15IPS reel-to-reel sound from the analog era. The 2kHz low-pass filter allows further sound focusing and shaping, adding warmth and power to the mid-range. The 80Hz high-pass filter helps remove unwanted low-end noise. Carefully inspected at Warm Audio's headquarters in Austin, Texas, by trained engineers and musicians with a passion for helping you sound your best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic reproduction of the most revered tube preamplifier of the tape era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully discrete, handcrafted construction with 3 tubes per channel for an authentic analog experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable tape saturation adds harmonic distortion and natural compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90dB of analog tube gain per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge custom CineMag USA transformers with an iron core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone input: 600Ω transformer (rated at 6000Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone input with \"Tone\" activated: 150Ω transformer (rated at 1500Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium tubes (2X) 12AX7 and (1X) 12AU7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600Ω output attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Gain control activation for an additional clean gain of 20 dB (from 70 dB to 90 dB) for microphones with low output and low-volume sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48v phantom power and polarity switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Warm Audio tone control that alters the input transformer impedance to add additional analog color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80Hz high-pass filter to control unruly low frequencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2kHz low-pass filter to focus the power and warmth of the preamplifier on the mids for increased presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: XLR microphone, TS instrument, and TRS line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: XLR \/ TRS line level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-Meter for level indication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20Hz-20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum front panel, steel chassis, and vintage-style Bakelite knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal IEC 115v \/ 230v power input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide range of sounds available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen and clean sound provided by 3 tubes per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural harmonic distortion modeling and compression when tubes are pushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tape Sat\" switch to activate fully analog Tape Saturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage sound + modern connectivity for use with any hybrid system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993428418893,"sku":"WAMPX","price":717.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/163921-large_default.jpg?v=1779918590","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/warm-audio-wa-mpx-preamplificatore-microfonico-a-valvole","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
