Recreate three classic LA-2A units, infusing your mixes with soulful warmth and smoothness.
With its gentle, program-dependent optical compression characteristics and meticulously designed tube amplifier circuit, the Teletronix LA-2A has become the compressor of choice for professional mix engineers worldwide. Since Universal Audio released its first UAD LA-2A plug-in in 2001, it has set the benchmark for analog emulation technology. Now, UA's engineers have meticulously recreated it with even more demanding detail, introducing the LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection. This collection includes three highly sought-after LA-2A plug-in versions, offering you the most authentic emulation of this iconic compressor ever. From warm vocal processing to full-bodied bass dynamic control, this optical compressor collection is an indispensable tool for modern digital studios, perfectly achieving the classic analog emulation sound, especially in vocal compression applications, where its performance is irreplaceable.
In the early 1960s, Teletronix founder Jim Lawrence first utilized photocells to control audio gain. This ingenious optical compression design was a technological breakthrough, offering stability and transparency far superior to earlier circuit designs. Universal Audio founder M.T. "Bill" Putnam later acquired this patented technology and continued to produce the LA-2A for many years. Now, with this plug-in collection, you can own the three most iconic sounds from this legendary history.
