Whether we’re talking about looks or sound, the ribbon mics of the 1930s are some of the most immediately identifiable mics of all-time — and Warm Audio has impeccably recreated both for their WA-44 studio ribbon microphone. Just like the originals, the WA-44 delivers rich, warm tone that epitomizes “classic” ribbon character. Its bidirectional polar pattern provides exceptional off-axis rejection while its custom, vintage-matched ribbon and robust neodymium magnet work in tandem with a custom CineMag USA-made transformer to deliver lush mids, a rolled-off top end, and the pronounced proximity effect that ribbons are known and prized for. Inspected and tested by Warm Audio, the WA-44 is the perfect choice for capturing lead tones on vocals, horns, acoustics, drums, piano, voice work, and so much more. Like you, All studio engineers know the struggle of getting ample gain from go-to passive ribbon and dynamic mics while keeping the noise floor low. That’s why they give their mics some help with products like this Warm Audio Warm Lifter, an inline active microphone preamp designed for low-output mics that retains top-quality features for both studio and stage applications. Imagine +26dB of analog gain with true impedance matching plus a 100Hz highpass filter and a 3kHz high-shelf boost to shape your sounds before they even hit the EQ. Additionally, the Warm Lifter features an ultra-low noise JEFT input, balanced input/output signals, and it operates on +48V phantom power. Finally, it's all housed in a solid, dependable device that is more than road-ready and built proudly in the USA.

Their acclaimed compressors and preamps have famously upset the pro audio price/performance ratio. When Warm Audio turned their attention to microphones, they set high targets: the most iconic large-diaphragm FET condenser mics in history. Behold the WA-14. It's based on a studio classic. Flash back to any top recording facility in the late 1970s. You'll see its venerable progenitor everywhere. On pianos, acoustic guitars, overheads, vocals, brass, percussion — you name it. engineers who have worked with this perennial studio favorite know that the all-brass, edge-terminated CK12 dual-backplate/dual-membrane capsule is a key ingredient in this mic's legendary sound. Warm Audio closely followed this timeless design when they engineered their own LK-12-B-60V Lens Kondensator for the WA-14. Stellar performance, top-shelf parts, and amazing value: that's the Warm formula — and the WA-14 nails it again.

The Warm Audio WA-19 dynamic studio microphone aims to resurrect one of the most iconic mics of the 1960s. It features a 30Hz – 18Khz frequency response, 145dB max SPL, and superb off-axis rejection from its cardioid polar pattern. A built-in highpass filter is a very welcome addition: it can cut down to -10dB at 50Hz, making the WA-19 ideal for use on drum overheads, toms, vocals, snare bottom, guitar cabs, and more. The ventilated slots on the body of the WA-19 also reduce proximity effect, making it a great choice for acoustic guitar as well as guitar cabinets. Finally, the WA-19’s thin body shape facilitates easy placement, and while it may be thin, it’s built to last.
Need a quality pair of tracking headphones? studio engineers are quick to recommend Warm Audio's trusty WA-HR HeadRoom headphones. Their closed-back design makes these 'phones ideal for tracking, editing, or critical listening tasks, and their 10Hz–30kHz frequency response ensures that you'll hear everything in your mix, warts and all. Additionally, 45mm neodymium drivers plus 45-ohm impedance represent your audio with authenticity. Finally, each pair of WA-HR headphones comes with both straight and coiled cables for convenience, in addition to two pairs of swappable circumaural ear pads for comfort and longevity.
Though digital technology and software have made great strides in recent years; we still believe that nothing compares to the level of articulation, depth, realism, and responsiveness of a well-built piece of analog gear. When you hear the bottom-end presence and top-end detail of quality analog gear, the difference is astounding. The cost of most boutique analog equipment is financially out of reach for many recording artists. Our mission is to change this, and introduce as many people as we can to recording and mixing with real, dedicated hardware.
Warm Audio WA-2A Tube Optical Compressor 1-channel Tube Optical Compressor with All-discrete Signal Path, Custom Optical Photocell, and Cinemag Transformers
The WA76 Discrete Compressor is a modern reproduction of the Classic '76 Revision D. The WA76 has a fully discrete signal path and uses the original Reichenbach Engineering's (now CineMag) transformer design.

Introducing The Warm Audio BUS-COMP The Warm Audio BUS-COMP is an all-analog, 2 channel, stereo VCA bus compressor based on classic circuitry that has provided silky smooth tone for decades. Stereo VCA bus compressors are masterful at controlling dynamics on many sources, but they have become widely known for their magic touch on stereo mixes. The BUS-COMP will perform well on stereo mixes, drum mixes, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, keyboards, piano, orchestral instruments, voice-overs and an array of other sources. The BUS-COMP is primarily designed for stereo use, but it can be used just as successfully on individual mono sources. VCA bus compressors of this type have become widely loved for their ability to control dynamics effortlessly but also for the added tone and depth they provide to the audio signal that passes through them, even when no compression is applied.

The Warm Audio TB12 Tone Beast Microphone Preamplifier is designed to provide a wide range of tonal options for mic, instrument, and line-level sources, making it an indispensable tool for audio engineers, producers, and muscians. The TB12 is capable of up to 71 dB of input gain, and employs an output attenuator allowing you to drive your input signal harder for color and saturation while keeping your signal from peaking. The TB12 Tone Beast lives up to its name by allowing you to select between two different discrete op-amps, two different output transformers that can be bypassed altogether, two input impedance settings for dynamic, condenser, or ribbon mic optimization, and two different capacitors. The preamp is capable of producing colored, vintage-style tones with early break up and clean, transparent modern tones. Thanks to its front-panel Hi-Z instrument input, the preamp can be used to record DI tracks, while the rear-panel 1/4″ line input allows you to use the TB12 to provide color or warm up previously recorded tracks. The rear-panel insert send and receive 1/4″ connectors let you integrate an external signal processor, such as an EQ or compressor, into the TB12’s signal flow before the output transformers. The unit features 48V phantom power, a high-pass filter at 80 Hz, a 20 dB pad, and a polarity reverse switch.

The TB12 Tone Beast Black is a fully professional preamp design with loads of gain that can effortlessly capture an array of sources very well. It is a swiss army knife full of options and tones. With top notch CineMag transformers and multiple discrete signal paths, it’s hard to beat the Tone Beast’s big, bold, fully-professional sound at this price. The Tone Beast Black is a mic pre that likes to be pushed and when pushed will colorize your signal ever so sweetly. The 2 opamps and 2 output transformers at the flip of their switches won’t appear to be much different, but as one drives the pre into harmonic distortion, the unique character of each of these components becomes apparent. The Tone Beast Black is customizable and allows users to source and swap in their own opamps. The output control on the TB12 allows you to limit the signal exiting the preamp even when pushing the gain to really hot levels, giving you maximum control. When designing the TB12 Tone Beast Black our goal was to make a microphone preamplifier affordable and jam packed full of options, without compromising the quality and design parameters that make this type of microphone preamplifier so desirable. Premium Components The TB12 “Tone Beast Black” is a fully discrete, high-voltage microphone preamplifier, utilzing CineMag USA Transformers. Have no fear of hurting the Beast, you can push it very hard into full-on distortion if you wish, and these can sound quite nice on electric guitar, bass or anything else that likes some grit. The different component options in the TB12 are subtle, but when driven into saturation are noticeable and can make a big difference to the way your final mix will sound. Home-based musicians and professional studios alike will find the Tone Beast Black to be an extremely powerful and fully professional piece of gear that is capable of warming and shaping signals/mixes in a way that is very pleasing to the ear.
