Classic 70's Optical Character Compressor
for Silver Bullet mk2
NEW! Accepting pre-orders that will begin shipping 9/13/24.
We intend to make a dedicated Mojo Module host and would love your design input. Take the survey.
Overview
AudioScape and Louder Than Liftoff are proud to announce a collaboration on an expansion module for the Silver Bullet mk2: the LA-76 by AudioScape. AudioScape’s stereo LA-76 is a satisfying fusion of two classic compressors: the LA-4 and the 1176 Rev. F. It features an enhanced LA-4-style optical compressor topology, with updated components and higher slew rates compared to the original. This is coupled with the 1176’s all-discrete, push-pull topology line amp in the output stage–the 1109. This line amp is one of Bill Putnam’s most enduring designs and was utilized both in the 1176 Rev. F and the Cooper Time Cube, as well being available on their own. Everything that was unfavorable in the original LA-4 design is essentially replaced with a more revered classic line amp. This original Mojo Module from Audioscape will bring punch, grit, and character to any track it touches. It's excellent on vocals, bass, guitars, drums, and piano.

NERDY DETAILS
PREMIUM COMPONENTS & BUILD QUALITY
We chose every component in our Mojo modules by ear for maximum mojo and its sonic synergy with the rest of the circuit. Our meticulous development process involved both empirical measurement and real-world studio use to validate the design. We also leveraged what we learned designing and building our other products. In this design you will find high end parts from Nichicon, Panasonic, Vishay, Susumu, Wima, and TI. All audio path resistors are 0.5% or 0.1% thin film types for low distortion and noise. Where applicable, some modules features custom American wound transformers and our very own discrete op amp. Our PCBs use high temperature Tg 170 material for long-term reliability. The entire assembly is RoHS compliant (lead free).
