Warm Audio WA-MPX Single-Channel Tube Mic Preamp

The Warm Audio WA-MPX is a single-channel tube microphone preamp that authentically recreates the legendary 351-style tube preamplifier found in iconic American tape machines. Featuring hand-wired construction with three premium tubes per channel and custom USA CineMag transformers, it delivers 300V of raw power and 90dB of tube gain for clean amplification and natural saturation. The selectable all-analog tape saturation engine provides compression, saturation, and non-linear frequency response mimicking vintage reel-to-reel tape at 15IPS. Dual filters—80Hz high-pass and 2kHz low-pass—allow precise tone shaping. Ideal for recording vocals, instruments, and dialogue, the WA-MPX brings warmth, richness, and professional-grade analog tone to any studio setup.
