The Sound Behind The Classic Records — Since 1964
Iconic studio sound—rebuilt for modern recording.
Why It Sounds Different
Original Sound Techniques Circuitry
Derived from the consoles behind landmark recordings—carrying that same tonal character into every unit we build.
Console—Grade Signal Path
Built from the ground up using the same design philosophy that shaped classic recordings—where every stage is crafted for feel, depth and musical response.
Hand-Built in California

Built for the Sound
The character behind iconic recordings isn't added later—it's inherent in the signal path from the very beginning.

Why Sound Techniques Chose Warm Audio
For decades, Sound Techniques preamps were something only a relatively small number of engineers had the opportunity to experience. We wanted to change that—but only if we found a partner we trusted to preserve what made the original designs special.
Warm Audio demonstrated the engineering expertise, manufacturing capability, and commitment to quality necessary to bring Sound Techniques to a much wider audience without compromising its character or legacy.
This collaboration goes far beyond recreating a vintage schematic. We worked directly with the Warm Audio team to ensure Jude remained faithful to the performance, response, and distinctive character of the original consoles, while Warm Audio brought the manufacturing capabilities, rigorous testing, and global reach needed to make that sound accessible to today’s musicians, producers, and engineers.
As Danny White explains:
“They understood that preserving the character of these preamps isn't about simply copying a schematic; it's about opening up a piece of recording history to the wider world. Together, we're committed to preserving the performance, character, and legacy that helped shape so much of the music we love.”
For us, this collaboration is about more than bringing back a historic design. It is an opportunity to introduce the Sound Techniques sound to a new generation while protecting the character and craftsmanship that made the original consoles so special. With Warm Audio, we found a partner who understood both sides of that responsibility—and shared our commitment to carrying the Sound Techniques legacy forward.
