حدد WA-2A الخاص بـ Warm Audio هدفه الأعلى: الضاغط الأكثر شهرة في التاريخ. كيف الدافئة تفعل ذلك؟ من خلال وفورات الحجم ، في الغالب. إنهم لا يقطعون زوايا على المكونات (تستخدم WA-2A خلية ضوئية ضوئية مخصصة ومحولات سينمائية أصلية أمريكية الصنع) ، لكنهم يطلبون قطعًا ويبنون بكميات كبيرة ، مما يساعد على خفض التكاليف. مثل الوحدة الكلاسيكية الأصلية ، يمنحك WA-2A مسار إشارة منفصل تمامًا ونفس ترتيب عناصر التحكم.
سمات:
Though 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 a well-built piece of analog gear. When you hear the bottom-end presence and top-end detail of quality analog gear, the difference is astounding. The cost of most boutique analog equipment is financially out of reach for many recording artists. Our mission is to change this, and introduce as many people as we can to recording and mixing with real, dedicated hardware.
The WA-2A is a high-voltage, Class-A opto-compressor, utilizing large-core CineMag USA Transformers, four premium vacuum tubes, and the legendary Kenetek opto-cell - considered by many to be the world’s finest.
The WA-2A operates on four tubes: two 12AX7’s, one 12BH7, and one 6aq5 (or 6P1J). We proudly use premium brand tubes in the signal path, which sound very 'open' and LARGE. All 4 tubes are socketed for easy swapping and replacement.
No plug-in or other compressor type quite compares to the warm, forgiving, fluid qualities of the classic '2A optical compressor. For decades, the renowned ‘2A style circuit has become the go-to device for seamlessly handling vocals, bass, and a wide variety of other instruments and program material in an effortlessly smooth way.
Releasing the WA-2A would be for nothing if we couldn’t make it affordable. Since the start of Warm Audio we have striven to give an unprecedented value to our customers, by putting high end audio within the reach of more people than ever before. This philosophy drives everything we do, and every product we offer.
