In 2001, Universal Audio set the standard in analog emulation with the original UAD LA-2A plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, UA's engineers have redesigned the LA-2A plug-in with more obsessive detail. The LA-2A Classic Leveler Plug-In Collection features immaculate models of three highly sought-after LA-2A units, giving you the most authentic emulations ever of this iconic compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Teletronix Story. \u003c\/strong\u003eTeletronix founder Jim Lawrence first used photocells for controlling audio gain in the early 1960s. His ingenious optical compression design was a technological breakthrough, far surpassing the stability and transparency of earlier circuits. Universal Audio founder M.T. \"Bill\" Putnam later purchased this patented technology, continuing to manufacture the LA-2A for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Historical Units. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Teletronix LA-2A Leveler Collection puts three of the most coveted incarnations of the iconic Teletronix processor at your fingertips. Like the hardware, the LA-2A Silver, LA-2A Gray, and LA-2 models offer distinct variations in time constants, compression knee, headroom, distortion, program and frequency dependence, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLA-2A Silver \u0026amp; Gray. \u003c\/strong\u003eWith a brushed aluminum panel and original T4B gain reduction module, this cherished late-1960s \"Silver\" version of the LA-2A, manufactured by Bill Putnam, is perhaps the most flexible of the three plug-ins in the collection. Its fast time constant makes it suitable for the widest variety of program material, including transient-rich sources like drums and percussion. Jim Lawrence's original mid-1960s \"Gray\" version the LA-2A maintains a more average time constant, providing a range of \"medium-speed\" compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Original LA-2. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe exceptionally rare, early 1960s LA-2 unit preceded the LA-2A by several years. It provides the slowest response and a unique \"mellowed\" sound due to 50 years of luminescent panel aging inside the T4 module. Use the LA-2 with legato tempos and vocal sources for a transparency and sublime mood unlike any other compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack and mix with three historic versions of revered Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifiers, each with its own distinctive sonic attributes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord through a Teletronix LA-2A\/LA-2 in real time with Apollo interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial-in ideal optical compression textures for vocals, bass, drums, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarness presets from LA-2A users Ross Hogarth, Darrell Thorp, and Vance Powell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48647414415577,"sku":"UA-1035-3249","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/5232\/2456\/files\/UniversalAudioUADTeletronixLA2ALevelerCollection.webp?v=1778261666","url":"https:\/\/guildwatergear.com\/products\/universal-audio-uad-teletronix-la-2a-leveler-collection","provider":"Guildwater Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
