Product Description
The WA-2MPX is an authentic reproduction of the most revered microphone tube preamp that pioneered the birth of rock ‘n’ roll & radio-ready hits. With premium components and true-to-original circuit design, WA-2MPX authentically delivers the iconic analog warmth and tape-era tube tone that is still chased by today’s modern artists.
Key Features
- Authentic Reproduction Of The Most Revered Tape-Era Tube Mic Preamp: The WA-2MPX is based on the 351-style tube preamplifier found in American tape machines that pioneered the birth of rock ‘n’ roll & radio-ready hits.
- Power & Versatility For A Wider Range Of Analog Tone: Delivering an impressive 300v of raw power & 90dB of tube gain, WA-2MPX achieves clean gain & powerful volume, that pushes the tubes to saturate just like the most timeless analog gear.
- Premium Components & Handwired Construction For An Authentic Vintage Experience: Hand-assembled with three premium tubes per channel paired with custom-wound true-to-spec USA CineMag transformers, the WA-2MPX authentically reproduces all the analog tone of the original.
- Selectable, All-Analog Tape Saturation: WA-2MPX uses discrete analog components that provide compression, saturation, and non-linear frequency response for authentic tape-era reel-to-reel sound at 15IPS.
- Hi-Pass (80Hz) & Low-Pass (2kHz) Filters to Refine Tone: The 2kHz low-pass filter allows you to further shape and focus your tone, dialing in ultimate midrange warmth & punch. The 80Hz hi-pass filter helps remove unwanted bass noise from unruly sources.
