  1. THE ICONIC ANALOG SOUND OF MUSIC'S GREATEST RECORDINGS + EQ

    The WA73-EQ & WA273-EQ recreate the most iconic British console channel strip sound made famous by legendary recordings from the 60s and beyond. Known for delivering rich, full analog warmth with frequency control, the original became the foundation of classic rock and was the centerpiece of countless timeless hits. The sound of those famed console preamps can be heard on recordings by The Beatles, U2, Kendrick Lamar, Led Zeppelin, and many more.

  2. THE PERFECT BALANCE OF NATURAL & POLISHED SOUND

    The WA73-EQ & WA273-EQ deliver the perfect balance of “unmistakably analog” tone & clarity with added frequency sculpting that every engineer is chasing. With 80 dB of gain, a discrete Carnhill Transformer balanced signal path, and onboard 3-band EQ, the 73-EQ series is perfect for any recording, mixing, or engineering task. Using hand-wired construction featuring premium components and individually testing every single unit, the 73-EQ series preamps are the ideal choice to upgrade your sound to studio-grade.
