  2025/03/31

  WARM AUDIO's discrete FET compressor, the WA76 series, was featured in the May issue of Sound & Recording Magazine.
  The “WA76-A” and “WA76-A2” are Rev D-style speedy, low-noise clean-gain compression with rich analog tone.
  Stripe-style fast attack, as well as vintage voice compression with the warmth, exquisite distortion, and texture characteristic of vintage analog equipment.
  Recording/Mixing/PA engineer Taku Someno, who reviewed the product, gave it high praise, saying:
  “It not only retains the charm of the original but also features added functions, offering the fun of easily experimenting with them—something only hardware can provide.”
  “It strongly emphasizes the presence of the sound.”
  “While the compression is solid, it also works excellently as a leveler.” Please check it out!

• [Sound＆Recoring WEB] Review of WARM AUDIO Discrete FET Compressor "WA76-D2" Published!

  

  2025/02/17

  A review of the WARM AUDIO Discrete FET Compressor "WA76-D2" has been published in the online version of Sound & Recording Magazine.
  The WARM AUDIO "WA76-D2" faithfully reproduces the fastest and most powerful studio compressor known for its ultra-fast dynamic control and rich analog tone in a two-channel format. It seamlessly blends a vintage analog character with a modern workflow by incorporating contemporary controls such as parallel compression, active & true bypass, and variable sidechain filtering.
  Engineers' reviews have been highly positive, stating that "even with strong compression, the S/N ratio remains good, and the sound image does not become overly blurred." They also praise its "richness characteristic of analog gear, well-balanced distortion, and a satisfying midrange presence similar to the 1176." Additionally, they highlight its excellent value, noting that "considering it as a 'well-maintained 1176-style compressor available in stereo,' it is an attractive and cost-effective product." Be sure to check it out!

• Introducing "MQ-1" and "MQ-2" from DRAWMER!

  

  2025/01/29

  DRAWMER has announced the "MQ-1" and "MQ-2," 7-band proportional Q equalizers inspired by the legendary "Motown EQ." These units faithfully recreate the EQ curves used in renowned Detroit studios of the 1960s. The mono 7-band EQ "MQ-1" features the highly acclaimed CRUSH function, also found in the dual 4-band parametric EQ "1971." When activated, CRUSH adds pleasing harmonic saturation and the rich warmth unique to analog gear, giving any signal a distinct character. It enhances the low end with thickness, adds presence to the midrange, and brings a beautiful sparkle to the high frequencies. The MQ-2, a stereo 7-band EQ, is more than just an EQ; it has a single-knob compressor that adjusts the envelope according to the characteristics of the signal, and the order of the EQ and compressor signal paths can be interchanged to meet a variety of needs.
