Product description The Warm Audio WA-2A is a single-channel tube optical compressor that recreates a classic leveling amplifier originally released in the late 1950s. With Tung-Sol and Electro-Harmonix tubes, dual CineMag transformers, and a Kenetek opto-cell, the WA-2A offers smooth, warm compression ideal for vocals, bass, guitars, drums, and parallel submixes. Its discrete signal path is terminated with balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS input and output connectors, and delivers a high output with minimal noise. Use compress mode for moderate peak attenuation, or switch to limit mode for more aggressive gain reduction. Operation is simple and efficient, thanks to the adjustable gain and peak reduction controls. The rear-panel "Pre-Emphasis" serves as a tone control for the sidechain. A large VU meter allows easy viewing of gain reduction or output level, and can be calibrated via a dedicated potentiometer. The WA-2A supports stereo linking to a second WA-2A through a 1/4" TRS cable (available separately). - Transformed-balanced, high-voltage, optical tube compressor built in the classic "2A" style
