Introducing the Warm Audio TB12 Tone Beast Microphone Preamp, a powerhouse of professional audio design that redefines what's possible in a preamp. This versatile preamp boasts an abundance of gain, making it an ideal choice for capturing a wide range of audio sources with excellence.

At the heart of the Tone Beast is the top-tier CineMag transformers and multiple discrete signal paths, combining to deliver a big, bold, and fully professional sound that's nothing short of remarkable, all while maintaining an affordable price point.
The Tone Beast isn't just another preamp—it's a creative force that thrives when pushed. As you increase the gain, it imparts a sweet and unique color to your signal. The preamp features two op-amps and two output transformers, each with its own switch, and as you drive the pre into harmonic distortion, the distinct character of each of these components emerges, offering you unparalleled tonal flexibility.
Customization is at your fingertips, as the Tone Beast allows you to source and swap in your own op-amps, giving you the ability to tailor the sound to your exact preferences. The output control on the TB12 provides precise control over the signal exiting the preamp, even when the gain is pushed to its limits, granting you maximum command over your audio.
Warm Audio's goal in designing the TB12 Tone Beast was to create an affordable microphone preamplifier that's packed with options while adhering to the quality and design standards that define this type of preamp.
