Description

Analog tone


Although digital technology and software have made great strides in recent years; we still believe that nothing compares to the level of articulation, depth, realism and responsiveness of well-built analog gear. When you hear the low-end presence and high-end detail of quality analog gear, the difference is staggering. The cost of most boutique analog equipment is financially out of reach for many recording artists. Our mission is to change that and introduce as many people as possible to recording and mixing with real, dedicated gear.

2A style optical compressor


No plug-in or other type of compressor quite compares to the warm, forgiving, and smooth qualities of the classic '2A optical compressor. For decades, the acclaimed '2A-style circuit has become the go-to device for seamlessly handling vocals, basses, and a wide variety of other instruments and programs smoothly and effortlessly. The release of the WA-2A would be pointless if we couldn't make it affordable. Since Warm Audio's inception, we have strived to deliver unprecedented value to our customers, bringing premium audio within reach of more people than ever before. This philosophy guides everything we do and every product we offer.

High-end components


The WA-2A is a high-voltage Class A opto-compressor, using CineMag USA large-core transformers, four high-end vacuum tubes, and the legendary Kenetek opto-electric cell, considered by many to be the best in the world. The WA-2A operates on four tubes: two 12AX7s, one 12BH7, and one 6aq5 (or 6P1J). We proudly use premium brand tubes in the signal path, which sound very "open" and WIDE. The 4 tubes are socketed for easy exchange and replacement.
