The White 2A Leveling Amplifier is based on a legendary vintage unit that is
entirely tube-based. It.s a totally different device in terms of construction
where all the compression magic happens inside an optically coupled element
formed by a fluorescent panel and some photocells: the famed T4A element.
There is no electronic circuitry involved with the compression itself.
It's just a tube amp with photo-resistors, lighted by a fluorescent panel
driven by the output signal. At the time of this invention, there were not
many ways of making an audio compressor: only variable-mu and optical. Optical
was the simplest one, and if proper elements for both the light emitting panel
and the photocells were matched, magic happened.

Originally intended for use in broadcasting, it immediately became a truly
signature unit for music recording and mixing. It.s a must-have for both
tracking and mixing vocals, but it.s also tremendously effective on electric
bass, upright bass, piano, winds and many other tracks where you need a gentle
compression with great warmth and consistency. This is one of the few units in
the audio industry that nobody will allow to be substituted for anything else.
