## Long description

WARM AUDIO WA12 MKII Black is a single-channel microphone preamp with a transformer-coupled design intended for studio recording and professional audio applications. The unit accepts mic-level input and provides clean gain with subtle transformer coloration typical of transformer-based preamplifiers. It is compact and built for insertion into recording chains where transparent amplification and vintage-style tonal shaping are required.
Advantages
The transformer-coupled topology delivers harmonic enrichment and controlled saturation when pushed, while maintaining low noise and clear transient response at lower gain settings. The single-channel format simplifies signal routing and downtime when tracking solo sources. The design focuses on delivering consistent microphone gain and tonal character suitable for different microphone types without unnecessary complexity.
Suitable for
 Recording lead and backing vocals in studio and project setups
 Capturing acoustic guitars, strings and other acoustic instruments
 Close-miking of amplifiers, percussion and room sources for tracking
 Adding subtle transformer coloration to clean microphone signals
Key specifications
 Single-channel microphone preamplifier
 Transformer-coupled input/output topology for tonal coloration
 Mic-level input handling for dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones
 Compact form factor suitable for desktop or rack integration with appropriate mounting
 Controls and connectors designed for studio signal chain use
How to use
Connect a microphone to the mic input and route the preamp’s output to a recorder, audio interface or mixer. Set the gain to achieve a healthy input level on your monitoring system or meters without clipping, and adjust any available output or level controls to match downstream devices. For a cleaner sound, use lower gain settings and ensure proper microphone technique and placement; for more pronounced coloration, increase gain or experiment with mic positioning relative to the source.
Usage recommendations
Use the WA12 MKII Black for single-source tracking and overdubs where transformer character is desired. Match the preamp gain to the microphone sensitivity and input requirements of your interface, and monitor levels to avoid clipping. For best results with condenser microphones, ensure any required phantom power is provided by the microphone preamp or interface in your signal chain.
