Two Paths to Legendary Tone: Wolff Audio Quad Tutti™ and W1

When it comes to microphone preamps, Wolff Audio doesn’t reinterpret history – it preserves it. The Quad Tutti™ and the W1 represent two distinct but complementary approaches to classic analogue sound: one rooted in one of the most iconic studios in recording history, the other distilled directly from a modern flagship console.

Together, they offer engineers authentic legacy tone with contemporary workflow flexibility.

Quad Tutti™: The Sound of Sunset Sound Studio 1, Reborn

The Wolff Audio Quad Tutti™ brings the legendary Sunset Sound Studio 1 microphone preamp into a modern 1U rack format for the very first time. Designed by Paul Wolff in collaboration with Paul Camarata, Quad Tutti is built directly around the original Tutti Camarata circuit – not a clone, not an emulation, but the real thing.

With four identical channels, original-spec Cinemag transformers, and a pure analogue signal path, Quad Tutti delivers the open top end, authoritative low frequencies, and harmonic richness that defined countless classic recordings. From drums and ensembles to vocals and instruments, it captures transients with clarity and weight, adding character without excess colour.

Four Channels, One Classic Voice

By offering four perfectly matched channels in a compact 1U chassis, Quad Tutti is ideally suited to modern multi-channel tracking workflows. Engineers can now track drums, live sessions, or layered instruments with consistent, unmistakable Sunset Sound tone – without sacrificing rack space or signal integrity.

This is heritage studio sound, refined for today’s recording environments.

W1: The Console Preamp, Exactly as Intended

The Wolff Audio W1 takes a different but equally uncompromising approach. This is not a “500-series version” of a console preamp – it is the console preamp. Built directly from the same circuit found in Wolff Audio’s flagship consoles, the W1 delivers true console-grade performance in a single-channel 500-series module.

Featuring the original transformer topology, relay-controlled signal path, and identical gain structure, the W1 provides massive headroom, fast transient response, and a big, punchy, musical sound that feels instantly familiar to experienced engineers.

Control Loud Sources Without Compromise

One of the W1’s defining features is its unusually low baseline gain. This allows engineers to capture extremely loud sources – drums, amps, aggressive vocals – without engaging pads or degrading the signal. Its dual-stage gain architecture also lets you push the preamp for tone while keeping output levels clean and controlled at the converters.

The result is flexibility, authority, and tone – without penalty.

Heritage or Console Precision? Why Not Both

Whether you’re after the unmistakable character of Sunset Sound Studio 1 or the precision and headroom of a modern high-end console, rest assured that Wolff Audio delivers both without compromise. Quad Tutti™ and W1 aren’t recreations or homages – they’re direct continuations of proven designs trusted by engineers for decades.

Different formats. Different workflows. One uncompromising commitment to analogue excellence.
