Warm Audio - WA-2A
Tube Optical Compressor
recreating a legendAlthough digital technology and software have made a great differnce in recent years; we still believe that nothing quite beates the level of articulation, depth, realism, and responsiveness of a well-made piece of analogue gear. When you hear the low-end presence and top-end nuance of quality analogue gear, the difference is incredible. Boutique analogue equipment is expensive and financially out of reach for many recording artists. With the Warm Audio WA-2A, the mission was to change this and introduce as many people as possible to recording and mixing with real, dedicated hardware.
