The Warm Audio WA-MPX preamps are some of the highest quality microphone preamplifiers on the market in their
price range. They use custom-made components similarly found in preamplifiers with much higher price tags. Home-
based musicians and professional studios alike will find the WA-MPX models to be extremely powerful, versatile and
fully professional pieces of gear that are capable of warming and shaping both input signals and mixes in a way that
is very pleasing to the ear.
The information contained in this manual is written to help you quickly get started using your WA-MPX / WA-2MPX.

Note: All applicable LEDs on WA-MPX models will illuminate when their corresponding switches are engaged
1
1. Input Select Switch
This switch selects either mic, instrument, or line level input.
2. +48V Switch
This switch provides power for condenser mics and any other devices requiring continuous phantom power through the
XLR input. This power is supplied at a constant level to prevent any degradation of audio quality.
3. High Gain Switch
This switch engages the third tube in the channel circuit for an added 20db (from 70dB to 90dB) of clean gain for
low-output mics and low-volume sources - like ribbons and certain dynamic microphones.
4. Polarity Switch
This switch inverts the polarity of the signal. Use the polarity switch when recording with more than one open
microphone to combat phase cancellation between microphones.
