From Stam Audio:
The SA-2A is the finest replica of the vintage 1968 Teletronix LA-2A available today. The vintage LA-2A is the most sought after vocal and bass compressor in the world that has been used on thousands of hit songs.

The SA-2A recreates every last drop of character and usability of this classic compressor, at a price that makes it accessible to anyone.

We have gone to great length to faithfully reproduce the compression characteristics and tonality of the original.

It features custom designed Cinemag transformers that precisely match the ratios and frequency response of the original UTC transformers, as well as an increased level handling capacity.

The NOS American and European tubes used in the SA2A surpass the audio quality of any current production tube.

And most importantly a Kenetek T4B optical attenuator which is the single most important component in the LA-2A/3A family. The Kenetek T4B is the closest T4B replica available today to the original UREI T4B.
