• [New Product] WARM AUDIO Reamp & Stereo DI Released

  

  2026/05/01

  WARM AUDIO, which continues to release numerous attractive products based on the concept of "providing good products at good prices," has released the reamp "Reamper" and stereo DIs "WA-DI-P2 (Passive)" and "WA-DI-A2 (Active)."
  
  "Reamper" is a routing hub that allows you to freely connect guitar amplifiers, synthesizers, and studio equipment. It enables you to reamp DAW signals using your favorite amplifier, insert studio equipment into the guitar chain, and reverse the signal routing. Its standout feature is the built-in power soak function, which allows you to silently record a tube amplifier up to 50W (8Ω) without using a speaker. It is a versatile sound tool that allows you to explore experimental tones by combining effects with line-level sound sources, not just guitars.
  
  WARM AUDIO's stereo DIs are available in two models—active and passive—and are ideal for stereo instruments such as keyboards and synthesizers. Both units feature high-quality CineMag USA transformers, delivering clean, balanced signals while preserving tonal character. Volume control via variable pads and noise reduction through ground lift are also included. Active units are suitable for low-output instruments, while passive units are ideal for high-output sources such as drum machines and modelers, ensuring professional-grade signal conversion in any environment.

• DRAWMER Channel Strip "1979" Review Published! [Sound & Recording Magazine April Issue]

  

  2026/02/25

  A review of the DRAWMER Channel Strip "1979" was published in the April issue of Sound & Recording Magazine.
  In addition to its exceptionally clean preamp, the 1979's unique "Lift" function naturally brings out subtle nuances, helping to bring out the best in your sound. The 3-band EQ allows for intuitive and precise sound shaping, and the soft knee FET compressor adds smooth, musical cohesion. Additionally, the WET/DRY mix allows for easy parallel compression. Its sound, combining clarity with vintage warmth, will elevate the quality of your vocal and instrument recordings. This is a must-have for studio and home recording enthusiasts alike!
  In this review, it received high praise:
  "The preamps and compressors have a very clean sound."
  "The EQ doesn't distort the sound even when used aggressively, so you can immerse yourself in creating your own sound by adjusting the knobs as you feel."
  "The 1979 has a wide range of functionality, so even if you purchase it as your first channel strip, I think it's one you'll use for a long time."
  Please check it out.
