WARM AUDIO, which has been releasing numerous attractive items based on "providing good products at good prices," has released the "WA-1B," a monaural tube optical compressor.
The "WA-1B" accurately reproduces world-class Scandinavian compression with the smooth, warm sound and precise control of tubes and has been used by producers and engineers worldwide, from Chris Lord-Alge to Rick Rubin. The original inspiration remains intact, with tube circuits' high-quality, low-degradation compression realized at speeds and controls similar to modern dynamics processing. Hand-wired to faithfully reproduce the sound of the high-performance circuits it has, the custom large core transformers from Lundahl of Sweden and carefully selected vacuum tubes from JJ and Tung-Sol provide the warmth of real analog with ultra-fast and precise operation.
