Founded in Austin, Texas, Warm Audio faithfully recreates the classic recording gear that delivered music's biggest hits — tube condenser microphones, discrete preamps, optical compressors and vintage outboard — built with premium components and hand-inspected for every musician who believes legendary sound should be within reach.
Warm Audio was founded on a single belief: the gear that made music history should be accessible to everyone. By sourcing premium components — Cinemag and Lundahl transformers, Jensen capsules, discrete circuitry — and manufacturing with modern efficiency, Warm Audio delivers sonic performance previously reserved for the world's most expensive studios.
From the WA-87 large-diaphragm condenser to the WA76 FET compressor, WA73 British preamp and WA-2A optical levelling amplifier, every Warm Audio product is a faithful recreation built to the measurable spec of its original inspiration — not a budget approximation. A 5-year warranty backs every unit as standard.
Available across through MediaCast — authorised distributor, in stock in Dubai, with live demonstrations at MCX — MediaCast Experience Centre in Barsha Heights.
Warm Audio's microphone lineup covers the most iconic large-diaphragm tube condensers, FET condensers and small-diaphragm condensers in recording history — all built with selected capsules, quality transformers and real tube or FET circuitry. Every model carries a 5-year warranty and has been tested to measure at or beyond the spec of its original inspiration.
Warm Audio's flagship recreation of the legendary German U47 tube condenser. 3-Pattern (cardioid, figure-8, omni), dual-diaphragm WA-47-B-80V capsule, Cinemag USA transformer. Used by Chad Smith, Dolly Parton, Jermaine Dupri and Billy Corgan.
A faithful recreation of the classic German U67 — one of the most recorded voices in studio history. Dual-diaphragm 3-pattern tube condenser with Jensen transformer, custom-wound output transformer and vintage-voiced EF86 tube circuit.
The ELA M251 is perhaps the most revered tube microphone ever built. The WA-251 recreates it with a hand-selected 3-micron gold-sputtered dual-diaphragm capsule, an output transformer wound to original German specs and a genuine EF800 tube.
The Austrian AKG C12 is one of the most sought-after tube microphones of all time. The WA-CX12 recreates its sound with a brass body, CK12-style capsule, custom transformer and 12AY7 tube. Multi-pattern via external PSU. Used by Grammy-winning producer Derek Garten on Taylor Swift records.
Recreation of the Neumann M49 — one of the most versatile large-diaphragm tube condensers ever made. 3-pattern, remote-switchable via PSU, K49-style capsule. Used by Jermaine Dupri with Fabolous: "It's sounding amazing, we've been using it nonstop."
The AKG C24 is a stereo large-diaphragm tube condenser — two complete C12-style circuits in a single body, addressable as independent microphones or as a stereo mid-side or XY rig. A professional stereo room mic at an accessible price.
The definitive studio LDC recreation. The U87 is on more hit records than any other microphone — the WA-87 R2 recreates its circuitry and capsule to measurable spec. 3-pattern, switchable high-pass and pad. The studio workhorse.
Recreation of the Neumann KM84 — the most recorded small-diaphragm cardioid in studio history. Interchangeable capsule system, cardioid and omni included. Ideal for acoustic instruments, overheads and room mics.
The Neumann U47 FET is among the most beloved studio condensers — dense, smooth and full. The WA-47F recreates its WA-47-B-50V capsule in a FET circuit with Cinemag transformer. Perfect on kick, bass cab, room and anything needing body.
A dynamic vocal microphone designed for live performance — vintage-voiced with a retro broadcast aesthetic. Tight cardioid pattern, tailored for vocal presence. For performers who want Warm Audio tone on stage.
A microphone preamp determines more about the character of a recording than almost any other piece of gear. Warm Audio's preamp range recreates the most iconic designs — British Class-A, American discrete, and transformerless circuits — all built with the same premium components used in the originals: Jensen, Cinemag and Lundahl transformers, military-grade Wima capacitors and hand-picked components.
The Neve 1073 is the definitive British console preamp — the sound of Zeppelin, Bowie and virtually every classic British rock record. The WA73 recreates it with a Carnhill/St Ives transformer, Class-A discrete circuit and the legendary 3-band EQ section.
The WA73 and WA273 preamps with an additional Neve-style 3-band shelving EQ — the complete British console channel strip in a standalone unit. A single rack unit gives you the full British preamp-plus-EQ signal path that defined the sound of the '60s and '70s.
Recreation of the classic American API 312 preamp — fast, punchy, aggressive. The WA12 MKII uses a Jensen JT-16-B or Cinemag CMMI-2B transformer (user-swappable), Class-A discrete amplifier and 80Hz high-pass. Ideal for drums, bass, guitars — anything that benefits from American punch.
The Tone Beast offers four selectable transformer options (Cinemag, Jensen, Lundahl, or none) — giving dramatically different character from a single preamp. From thick and saturated to clean and open, all without touching the gain or EQ. The ultimate transformable preamp.
Four channels of discrete, transformer-coupled mic preamp in a 2U chassis — designed for the studio that needs multiple channels of Warm Audio character simultaneously. Four-channel sessions: drums, choirs, string sections, live tracking. Each channel is fully independent.
From the warm optical squeeze of the LA-2A to the fast transient control of the 1176 and the transparent glue of the SSL G-Bus, Warm Audio's compressor range covers every classic gain-reduction topology — all faithfully recreated with the same transformers, tube types and detector circuits used in the originals.
The Teletronix LA-2A is the most universally loved optical compressor ever made — smooth, musical, programme-dependent. The WA-2A faithfully recreates it with an electro-optical attenuator (T4B-style), the same GAINFET amplifier topology and Cinemag transformer. Essential on vocals, bass and acoustic instruments.
The LA-3A is the solid-state sibling of the LA-2A — faster attack, slightly more aggressive, with the same electro-optical programme-dependent response. The WA-1B recreates it for electric guitar, bass cabinet and anything needing the musical compression character of a solid-state optical unit.
The UREI 1176 is the most-recorded FET compressor in history — the sound of Led Zeppelin drums, John Lennon vocals and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The WA76-A recreates it to electrical spec with CineMag output transformer, all-discrete Class-A circuit and every ratio including the coveted "All Buttons In" mode. The WA76-A2 adds a second channel.
The dual-channel WA76 — for stereo compression and mid-side processing. Link both channels for a full stereo bus compressor, or use them independently. The same faithful 1176-style circuit in a dual-channel configuration for the stereo mix bus, drum room or any stereo source.
The SSL G-Bus compressor is the sound of the mix bus — the classic "glue" compressor that tied together the mixes of the '80s and '90s. The Warm Audio BUS-COMP recreates its THAT Corporation VCA circuit with fully adjustable attack, release, ratio, threshold and a wet/dry mix control.
Multiplex-style stereo processing units built for broadcast, mastering and stereo mix control. The WA-MPX offers a complete stereo processing solution; the WA-2MPX adds dual-channel independent processing for more complex routing scenarios in professional facilities.
The Pultec EQP-1A is possibly the most beloved passive program equalizer ever designed. Its simultaneous boost-and-cut bass behaviour and silky top-end air are unlike any other piece of audio hardware — and unlike digital EQ emulations, a hardware Pultec passes an analogue signal through real inductors, capacitors and a tube amplifier. The Warm Audio EQP-WA brings that experience to every studio.
The EQP-WA faithfully recreates the Pultec EQP-1A passive tube program equalizer — the trick of simultaneously boosting and cutting the same low frequency to create tight, punchy low-end that no other circuit can replicate. Hand-wound inductor, EF86 tube, Cinemag transformer. The EQ on countless hit records.
The Neve 1073-style preamp plus the classic Neve 3-band shelving EQ in a single 1U channel strip. A complete British signal path — from microphone to line level — with 80Hz, 160Hz, 1.2kHz, 3.2kHz, 4.8kHz, 8kHz, 12kHz EQ points in a Class-A discrete circuit with Carnhill transformer.
Warm Audio's guitar pedal range brings the same philosophy as their studio gear to the pedalboard — faithful recreations of legendary circuits built with quality components and sold at accessible prices. From the 1176-style FET compressor pedal to vintage overdrive, fuzz, phaser and beyond. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins): "If I had to choose only one pedal for a full show…I'd pick that Warm Audio Warmdrive."
The 1176 FET compressor circuit in a pedalboard-friendly format. Discrete Class-A, all the ratios, all four compression modes including "All Buttons In". The studio-quality compressor that fits under your guitar rig. For players who want studio FET compression at their feet.
An amp-driving overdrive pedal with mid enhance, low boost and variable noise gate controls — for players who want to push a tube amp without washing out the low end or adding noise. Tight, controlled, punchy overdrive at any gain setting.
The Bluesbreaker is the overdrive circuit used by Eric Clapton on Beano, by Bonamassa, by Mayer. Throne of Tone faithfully recreates it — organic, dynamic, touch-sensitive overdrive that cleans up with your guitar's volume knob exactly as a real tube amp would.
The Tone Bender MkII — the fuzz on Zeppelin, Cream and the British Invasion. Warm Bender faithfully recreates the OC75 germanium transistor circuit with hand-matched transistors for authentic vintage fuzz character.
Four-stage optical phaser modelled on the classic MXR Phase 90 with added speed control. From slow hypnotic sweep to fast jet-plane shimmer — the phaser sound of Van Halen, Heart and every '70s classic rock record.
Warm Audio's take on the Boss CE-2 chorus — bucket-brigade BBD circuit for the warm, organic chorus used on countless records from the '80s to today. Switchable between chorus and vibrato modes.
Warm Audio's signature overdrive — based on the Klon-style transparent boost and the beloved Ibanez Tube Screamer circuit. Billy Corgan chose this as his single pedal for a full live show. Responsive, musical, amp-like overdrive with perfect touch sensitivity.
Warm Audio's accessory range extends the brand's philosophy of quality-at-accessible-prices into every corner of the studio and stage rig — from passive DI boxes and the all-analog Reamper to the HeadRoom personal headphone amplifier and studio-grade microphone cables.
A creative signal-routing hub that goes far beyond re-amping — converting line-level DAW output to instrument level for re-amping, splitting and routing signals without impedance mismatch or ground loops. All-analog, passive and entirely transparent.
Warm Audio's passive and active direct injection boxes — for connecting instruments directly to mic preamp inputs with correct impedance and full transformer isolation. Jimmy Eat World: "The Warm Audio direct box is fantastic for bass guitar! Clear, full, rich, punchy, and of course Warm!"
The HeadRoom is Warm Audio's personal headphone amplifier — designed for in-ear monitor mixes and headphone listening. Clean amplification, low noise floor, and a compact format for installation in recording booths, live stages and control rooms.
A professional studio microphone boom arm built to hold any microphone — from dynamic to large-diaphragm condenser — with smooth articulation, heavy-duty clamp and cable management. For broadcast, podcast, home studio and professional tracking rooms.
Every Warm Audio product is engineered to match the measurable specifications and sonic character of its inspiration — not to approximate them. These are the principles behind that commitment.
Warm Audio specifies the same transformer brands found in the original hardware — Cinemag USA, Jensen, Lundahl and Carnhill St Ives. The transformer is the largest single contributor to the character of a preamp or compressor, and Warm Audio doesn't compromise here.
Every Warm Audio design is tested and measured against original vintage units for frequency response, harmonic distortion, noise floor and transient behaviour. "Faithful recreation" means achieving the same measurable results — not just approximating the appearance.
Warm Audio units are manufactured with modern efficiency then hand-inspected at their Austin, Texas facility before leaving. A 5-year warranty — the longest standard warranty in the pro audio industry — backs every product and reflects confidence in the build quality.
The Pultec EQP-1A sold for $10,000–$20,000 in vintage form. The WA LA-2A originally cost $25,000+ to acquire. Warm Audio's philosophy is that these circuits — and the sounds they produce — should be within reach of every recording musician, not just world-class facilities.
Young Guru (Jay-Z's engineer), Jermaine Dupri, Billy Corgan, Chad Smith (RHCP), Dolly Parton, Derek Garten (Taylor Swift, Jewel) and hundreds of working professionals use Warm Audio gear on major label releases. That trust is built on consistent sonic performance.
Every Warm Audio product carries a 5-year standard warranty — twice or more the length of most competitors. Product registration on the Warm Audio website activates full warranty coverage. MediaCast supports warranty service across .
