Inspired by the legendary "2A" compressor that shaped decades of recordings, the WA-2A captures the warm and indulgent sonic aesthetic that made this circuit famous. Warm Audio designed it with selected components-CineMag transformers and Kenetek cell-to deliver the sought-after soft attack, harmonic density, and smoothness both tracking and mixing.
The WA-2A is aimed at vocalists, bassists, producers, and studios seeking natural compression without artifacts. Ideal on vocals, bass, guitars, synths, and pads, it excels at leveling a track, rounding transients, and adding presence. In mixing, it provides glue on individual tracks and can be paired in stereo for dual sources.
The four premium tubes (2x 12AX7, 1x 12BH7, 1x 6AQ5/6P1J) provide comfortable headroom and a wide image, while the optical circuit automatically manages attack and program-dependent release for musical adaptation to the signal. Variable pre-emphasis allows fine-tuning of sidechain sensitivity to preserve low-end energy, supported by a high-pass filter to avoid bass-related over-compression. The VU meter switches between gain reduction and output level for quick and reliable adjustment, and stereo linking facilitates processing pairs or a bus.
