Warm Audio WA-2A Kompressor

The discrete opto-compressor offers a custom Cinemag transformer in the input and output, four Premium TungSol tubes and the legendary Kenetek optocell. During the development of the WA-2A, Warm Audio placed great importance on using the same 4 tube design, the two transformers and the optical photocell as they were already intended in the original circuit.
