No plug-in or other type of processor can deliver the same warmth, the same \"smooth\" sound as a classic '2A-style optical compressor. For decades, this type of compressor has been the most sought after for processing vocals, bass, and many other types of instruments, thanks to its sweet and velvety character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced, high-voltage, tube opto compressor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality input and output with CineMag USA transformers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eKenetek USA optoelectronic attenuator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTung-Sol and Electro-Harmonix 2x 12ax7, 1x 12bh7, 1x 6aq5 tubes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFully discrete signal path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocketed to allow retro-fitting with other opto-cells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pre-emphasis, allows filtering of compression filters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStereo link capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eXLR and TRS line-level inputs, 600 ohm impedance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eXLR and TRS balanced line-level outputs, 600 ohm impedance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response +\/- 1 dB, 15 Hz to 20 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGain: 40 dB ± 1 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level of 16 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOutput level +10 dB nominal, +16 dB maximum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion Less than 0.1% THD at ± 10 dBm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNoise: -74dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAttack time: 10 milliseconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelease time: 0.06 seconds for 50% release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 to 5 seconds for full release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMeter shows both dB gain reduction and dB output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePower - 115\/230 volts (switchable), 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993852010829,"sku":"WA2A","price":873.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/78583-large_default.jpg?v=1779946240","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/warm-audio-wa-2a","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
