The WA73-EQ is a �Desert Island� boutique preamp, but it can also be classified as a studio and live work-horse. Classic �73-style preamps are known for being versatile tools that work with all kinds of microphones from Condenser, to Dynamic, to Ribbon. The WA73-EQ equally shines on all types of microphones and sources including; vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through. With 80dB of gain and a fully discrete Carnhill Transformer balanced signal path, there�s no recording, mixing or engineering task that the WA73-EQ can�t handle.
