 Microphone and Instrument Preamp Processor

It transforms plain instruments and vocals into exciting tones. If your mixes lack depth, struggle to sound alive, or are just missing that professional touch you’ve always wanted, chances are the WA12 MKII is just what you're looking for.

A high-quality microphone preamplifier is one of the most critical parts necessary to realize that elusive ‘larger than life’ sound, which the WA12 MKII is more than capable of delivering. It's a fully discrete, high voltage dual-transformer mic preamp that's engineered for high gain (+71dB), high headroom, low noise, and exciting sonic performance – terrific for recording applications of all types. And its onboard active instrument DI allows it to work well with a range of instruments.
