We Give You Four Reasons
The WA-412 provides 4 channels of classic American console preamps in a sleek 1U design. This style of preamp
is often referred to as “the sound of Rock n’ Roll” for its big punchy low end and smooth open top end. The price/
performance ratio of the WA-412 is almost unfathomable to the experienced studio engineer who has possibly paid
much more for preamps of this style during their career. Featuring fully discrete socketed 6-pin opamps and custom
wound Altran USA input and output transformers, the WA-412 leaves nothing to be desired. If you are looking for
multiple channels of world class tone in an affordable package, the WA-412 is the right choice for you.
