About This Listing
This item was returned in mint condition. It is free of any performance issues, and has no scratches, blemishes, or other cosmetic flaws.
For over 50 years, the Teletronix LA-2A has been revered for its smooth, natural, musical compression. With its unique tube-driven electro-optical attenuator system that allows instantaneous gain reduction with no increase in harmonic distortion, the LA-2A massages signals like no other compressor ever made. Teletronix 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.
The Real Deal
Universal Audio’s Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveling amplifier reissue provides the performance characteristics of the iconic original. With painstaking care, every new LA-2A unit is point-to-point handwired in Scotts Valley, California, with every component carefully evaluated for authenticity. As a result, today’s LA-2A will bring the same legendary compression characteristics of the original to all of your recordings.

Product Overview
The Universal Audio LA-2A reissue represents the rebirth of a studio classic. This tube-driven optical limiter has been on more hit records than we can count, and for good reason. True to the original design and performance, the contemporary LA-2A has all of the high frequency glow and huge tone that made the vintage units a staple in studios around the world.
