In 2001, Universal Audio set the standard in analog emulation with the original UAD LA-2A plug-in. Today, UA’s engineers have redesigned the LA-2A plug-in with more obsessive detail. The \u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Audio LA-2A Classic Leveler Plug-In Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e 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  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTHE TELETRONIX STORY\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\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  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eTHREE HISTORICAL UNITS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\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  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eLA-2A SILVER \u0026amp; GRAY\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\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  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eTHE ORIGINAL LA-2\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\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   \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eNATIVE UAD SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMac: macOS 10.15 Catalina, 11 Big Sur, 12 Monterey, or 13 Ventura\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWindows: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit editions)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntel, AMD or Apple silicon processor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternet connection to download software and authorize native UAD plug-ins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree iLok account with iLok Cloud or iLok USB (2nd generation or higher)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree UA Connect application for managing native UAD plug-ins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450901655655,"sku":"186179","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/uad-teletronix-la-2a_186179_1_a2965552-cb78-4179-86a8-6995ee7be105.jpg?v=1787095017","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/universal-audio-teletronix-la-2a-leveler-collection","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
