Heritage Audio HA-609A Plugin

THE ENHANCED VERSION OF THE REVERED GLUE COMPRESSOR GETS THE PLUGIN TREATMENT IT SO LONG DESERVED

The HA-609A Elite Series was never intended as a simple recreation. It was designed as an evolution, preserving the character of a legendary compressor while expanding its capabilities for today’s production environments.

An entirely discrete Class A topology, three Carnhill St Ives transformers per channel, and the addition of a fast attack mode for both the compressor and limiter are just a few of the enhancements that helped elevate the HA-609A into a modern classic. The HA-609A Dual Mono/Stereo Compressor/Limiter plugin has been developed using current-generation component-level modelling, allowing every stage of the signal path, from gain reduction behaviour to harmonic response, to be captured with exceptional accuracy.

We are really proud to be able to finally capture the weight, punch, and musical response that made this classic iconic with a level of accuracy that simply wasn’t possible years ago.
