Warm Audio 412 VS Black Lion Audio B12A-Quad - Mic Pre DEATH MATCH Shoot Out
In this gear review, I took some time to run some tests on these 2 awesome microphone preamps: Warm Audio 412, and the Black Lion Audio B12A-Quad. Includes Voice Over reading through a Shure Sm7b and some singing through the Stam Audio SA-87. Overall I feel the build quality is slightly better on the Warm. Sound-wise, I hear the Warm as having a thicker, more "vintage" sound, while the BLA sounded a little cleaner and more open. One feature I did not mention in the video is the "Tone knob" on the Warm, which is an impedance switch, which I was told by Warm's support team added 5 or 6 db of gain to your mic. Super helpful with dynamic mics like the sm7. Shout-out to Warm's support which was super responsive and very helpful. Both would make a great addition to any studio.

Book is 1984 by George Orwell, duh.
