MODIFIED: WARM AUDIO WA-2A, TUBE OPTO COMPRESSOR, NEW IN BOX

Revive Audio Modified: Warm Audio WA2A unit that is a new unit opened for modification

Priced just right with a full 1 year warranty!

We have multiples available for those that would like a stereo pair. 

These also include our optional Authentic Knob upgrade when purchased new from us!

We put a lot of love into the mods on this one as with all of our modifications, to squeeze out the maximum performance possible.

While the design is not authentic to an original this one is very close but with some cost cutting measures that small up the sound when compared to an original. 

With the modifications they sound great on Bass, vocals, room mics and more.

Pretty much anywhere you would want to put a LA2A, like vocals and Bass

This design is fairly close to the original and uses Cinemag transformers and a slightly different Tube configuration as well as a Buck Boost system for the main power supply voltages.

As a result of the cost cutting measures it sounds clean but also sounds very small when compared to an original LA2A and lack some of the character and warmth you have come to expect when you hear the name LA2A.

Our modifications fix all of the issues and bring back the low end, smooth out the compression and bring back the character to the design. 

The Results:

The service increases the headroom of the unit, widens the frequency response and increases the character/color of the design. 

So The modifications:

We do a complete audio path upgrade using premium parts for lower noise and higher headroom as well as lower distortion.

All Audio caps are swapped out for better performance using Panasonic Parts and Orange Drop Capacitors in the audio path for more authenticity.

Bypassing is performed where necessary for lower noise in the power supply.

Power supply modifications are also performed Thru out for the lowest possible noise figures in the overall design and better current delivery.

Tubes are then swapped for more complimentary versions in the design in terms of authenticity.

 
This unit has been professionally modified by our technicians and given the seal of approval to go to work at your home or in your studio.

These are wonderful sounding units with a lot of dynamic range and big bottom end with the modifications just the way it’s supposed to be:)

We are offering a full 1 year warranty on these newly modified units so rest assured! 

Here is some manufacturer info:

A Classic Compressor, Reincarnated

Warm Audio's WA-2A set its target high: the most iconic tube compressor in history. How does Warm do it? Through economies of scale, mostly. They don't cut corners on components (the WA-2A employs a custom optical photocell and genuine US-made Cinemag transformers), but they do order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down. Like the classic unit, the WA-2A gives you a completely discrete signal path and the same arrangement of controls. And yes, it replicates the original's coveted warm sound and forgiving nature. Elevate your studio to the next level - with the Warm Audio WA-2A.
