{"product_id":"universal-audio-la-3a-classic-audio-leveler-disc","title":"Universal Audio LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler","description":"The original LA-3A Leveling Amplifier made its debut at the 1969 NY AES show and marked the departure from the tube design of the Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifier. The LA-3A incorporated components and design concepts from the Putnam-designed 1176LN Limiting Amplifier. Immediately embraced as a studio workhorse and still widely used today, the LA-3A remains a favorite of engineers and producers worldwide for its unique compression characteristics and sonic signature. \u003cp\u003e Our UA Classics reissue of the LA-3A meticulously retains all the internal and external qualities of the original: The same simple control set, class A design, and the T4 electro-optical attenuator, which is the source of the LA-3A’s program dependent compression. It also retains the 2RU half-rack design, and comes complete with a single-unit rack assembly--no additional kit is necessary. All the original rear panel connections and controls are also maintained, while the commonly performed “LA-3A gain mod” is added as an additional switch for maximum studio versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449250377831,"sku":"5145","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/universalaudio_la3a_1_1.jpg?v=1787088311","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/universal-audio-la-3a-classic-audio-leveler-disc","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
