Heritage Audio has announced the HA-609A Dual Mono/Stereo Compressor/Limiter plug-in in native form.
‘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,’ the company explains.
The plug-in 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.
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.
‘At its core, the HA-609A plug’in is about the sound of authority, cohesion and confidence that has shaped countless records, now realised with modern modelling accuracy and workflow-ready features,’ the company says. ‘Not a throwback, not a compromise but a refined evolution that delivers legendary glue, punch, and musical control exactly where today’s engineers need it. When the mix needs to feel finished, the HA-609A plug-in delivers the weight that holds it all together.’
