Considered one of the most iconic preamp/EQs in recording history, the 1073 shaped much of modern pop/rock aesthetics thanks to its punch, warmth, and ability to "push" a source without aggression. The WA73-EQ continues this legacy by paying tribute to the classic British circuit while offering practical integration for today's workflows (insert, front DI, LED indicators, internal power supply).
The Warm Audio WA73-EQ is aimed at sound engineers, producers, and home studio users seeking a true analog signature right from the capture stage. On vocals, it adds presence and rich density; on snare or overheads, it enhances attack while retaining body; on electric or acoustic guitar, it adds definition; and thanks to the instrument input (DI), it becomes an excellent front-end for bass and synths, with transformer saturation controllable at the output level.
Gain up to 80 dB combined with output level control allows choosing between a clean, detailed sound or a more colored tone. You can increase gain to enrich harmonics, then adjust the final level without losing the circuit's musicality.
The 3-band inductive EQ is designed for effective and natural corrections: thickening lows, scooping mids, or opening highs without harshness. The 4-position inductive high-pass filter helps clean up low-end rumble, vibrations, and proximity effect right at recording. As a new feature, the additional high-frequency options (12 and 16 kHz) broaden the palette compared to a strict 1073 Vintage.
The Tone knob (input impedance) adapts response and "feel" depending on the mic and source. Also included are polarity inversion, 48V phantom power, and a Ground Lift switch to secure sessions.
