Letting go of this beautiful. 1950′s RCA 86A Tube Compressor/Limiter. This unit was recently serviced and recapped by the best in the business here in Los Angeles. It is fully plug & play with XLR pigtails and it sounds legendary. This compressor will be someone’s studio weapon/work-horse for the next 100 years. The 86A was the predecessor to the RCA BA6A and has absolutely every bit of the mojo that its younger brother has. I own 96A, 86A & BA6A, and they are all magnificent comp/limiters, each a hair bit different mechanically but extremely close sonically. They are all on the slower side of compression but I absolutely love the color and character they add, no pumping or annoying artifacts like you find with many modern compressors. The 86A is Incredibly smooth and musical. It makes everything sound bigger and badder! There’s nothing like tubes and massive transformers to help you define and glue a mix. The sound is as heavy and big as the unit itself (35lbs- 5RU) – This compressor is professionally serviced and wired with XLR pigtails. Plug & Play – If you are in Los Angeles we can potentially arrange a listening session. Be sure to check out my other rare items available.
