Warm Audio's WA-2A has set its sights high: to be the most iconic tube compressor in history. How does Warm do that? Mainly through economies of scale. They don't skimp on parts (the WA-2A has a custom optical photocell and genuine American-made Cinemag transformers), but they order parts and build in bulk, which helps keep costs down. Like the original classic unit, the WA-2A offers a completely discrete signal path and the same layout of controls. And yes, it replicates the coveted warm sound and forgiving character of the original. Take your studio to the next level with the Warm Audio WA-2A.

Comp on now!
Every studio needs a good compressor, and the Warm Audio WA-2A is designed after one of the most legendary compressors - the LA-2A Leveling Amplifier. With its euphonic, smooth, forgiving sound and its completely discrete, tube signal path, the WA-2A is your go-to device for everything from caressingly warm dynamics control to a full squashfest. It's great for bass, kick drum, vocals - you name it. It's wonderful for punchy parallel processing on drums, and if you have two, the possibilities get even bigger.
Top performance - and stunning value
Klundert Music is all about performance and value, and that's what the WA-2A gives you. Think for a moment about a high-end optical tube compressor, for this amazing price you can double your value and get two.
