Used on vocals, drums, bass and guitars so far and it has great versatility with the tone switch. I was really surprised how much better bass sounded going through it in the instrument mode. Well worth every penny! Review: Thanks - It was used and there was a piece on the inside lose. I put it back in place. But other than that on schedule. ## Features - 1-channel Mic/Line/Instrument Preamp ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00K3NDO1Q | | Audio Output Mode | Balanced Line Level | | Best Sellers Rank | #85,803 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #169 in Microphone Preamps | | Brand | Warm Audio | | Built-In Media | Microphone | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Microphone, Audio Interface, Mixing Console | | Connector Type | XLR, 1/4 inch, IEC | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 8 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00713541493155 | | Item Weight | 4.23 Grams | | Manufacturer | Warm Audio | | Material | Metal | | Mfr Part Number | WA73 | | Model Name | WA73 | | Model Number | WA73 | | Output Channel Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Sound Profile | Warm, Full-Bodied | | UPC | 713541493155 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Warm Audio - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Microphone, Audio Interface, Mixing Console - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR, 1/4 inch, IEC - **Connector Type:** XLR, 1/4 inch, IEC - **Included Components:** Microphone - **Model Name:** WA73 - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Video Recording, Voice Recording - **Special Feature:** Hand-wired, Transformer-balanced, Carnhill Transformers ## Images ![Warm Audio WA73 Microphone Preamp - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Pp5UrBtJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile High quality preamp! *by A***I on June 29, 2023* The WA Pre73 sounds great!
