The low end roundness and the grit that’s added sounds nearly identical to the BAE. Love the high pass filters. Super smooth

Warm Audio for the win!!!

A really great mic pre for a fraction of the cost of the original. What sets this apart from others is the Carrnhill transformers which are well balanced , and when engaged, the tone button gives a sound that is so pleasing to the ear. A definitive workhorse that has become my go to mic pre for recording vocals. I highly recommend this preamp.

Was on the fence for while with this pre amp, but after plugging in and running the first calibration session I was completely blown away. Nothing less than solid. Great latitude for vocals and a clean singal with
Extremely low noise. Can't wait to pair it with the wa2a. Hats off to warm audio. Solid gear.

I have waited and waited to get this preamp. Decided between many and chose this one. BEST DECISION I MADE!!! Getting to sound from vocals always wanted. Now need to get Warm compressor.

This thing sounds great. It even makes a cheap mic sound amazing. I haven’t used a true 1073 so I can’t say how close it is to the real deal, but I put it up against a UA 610 and personally I think the quality of the recording was very close.

Good piece of gear. Great sound for the price.
Not as silky and smooth as I imagined but I also don’t have much experience using a true Neve 1073. I like it a lot on bass guitar. It’s great for vocals but I would say for more gritty use on hiphop vocals that are using more old school production.

I've been using ua audio unison preamps which sound good but I knew I needed a outboard mic preamp, received it in the mail and got to work instantly!! I love the thing!! My vocal record sounds way thicker just like I needed it to be. My next piece of rack gear with be compressor and it will definitely be warm audio!!!

I Have An Apollo Twin And Use a Warm Audio Wa87 Now those two together sound amazing but adding this warm audio wa73 changed all my recording and mixes 10x better. I have a crisper cleaner sound. I couldnt tell you where my mixes would be with this new upgrade and I wouldn't have it without you great payment plan so thank you again for everything you guys do .

While this emulation gets close to the “warmth” of the original, the added/raised noise floor takes away from the usefulness of this pre.

Simply Amazing

I paired this with my Neumann tlm49 to “UAD tubetech cl1b compressor” and vocals sound amazing. Warm Audio out did themselves on this one. Can a day sooner than expected too. I bought the UAD 1073 last year during the Black Friday sales. But this blows the plugin completely out of the water. And this is jus as good as the BAE 1073 units.
