WA-2A: Warm, Analog Leveling for All
When engineers need to level out a vocal, balance a bass, or transparently smooth out transients, vintage Optical compressors are almost always the first choice. Featuring high-quality CineMag transformers and a total of four tubes, the WA-2A not only provides smooth levelling, but adds pure analog sheen, warmth, and richness. Thicken up your sounds with natural compression, or drive it hard to make a vocal larger-than-life!
