Heritage Audio has announced the availability of a native plugin version of its revered glue compressor unit. Developed using current-generation component-level modeling, the HA-609A plugin captures every stage of the signal path with exceptional accuracy.
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.
At its core, the HA-609A plugin is about one thing: the sound of authority, cohesion, and confidence that has shaped countless records, now realized with modern modelling accuracy and workflow-ready features. 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 plugin delivers the weight that holds it all together.
Priced 99USD/EUR, the HA-609A plugin is available to purchase at Plugin Boutique and from the Heritage Audio store in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS. All HA-609A Elite Series and i73 PRO hardware owners will get the plugin for free.
