Teletronix ® LA-2A<br />
CLASSIC LEVELING AMPLIFIER<br />
True to the Original Design, our Famed Tube-Amplified T4 Electro-Optical Classic Compressor.<br />
<strong>Audio</strong> professionals revere the LA-2A. The original was immediately acknowledged for its smooth, natural compression<br />
characteristics. A unique tube-driven electro-optical attenuator system allows instantaneous gain reduction<br />
with no increase in harmonic distortion — an accomplishment at the time, still appreciated today. This faithful<br />
<strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Audio</strong> reissue marks the rebirth of the Teletronix LA-2A. Painstaking care has been taken to ensure that<br />
every new LA-2A provides the performance characteristics of the original. Each unit is point-to-point hand-wired<br />
and built in Scotts Valley, California, with every component carefully evaluated for authenticity. As a result, today’s<br />
LA-2A will bring the same legendary compression characteristics of the original to all of your recordings.<br />
Tucker Martine<br />
Producer (My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists)<br />
“The LA-2A eliminates the need to ride a vocal<br />
while adding a very seductive glow to it.”<br />

It always works great.”<br />

“The LA-2A is the definition of the old-school choice for<br />
recording bass for a reason. It’s very hard to go wrong with.<br />
It just has that sound.”<br />
– Peter Katis, Producer/Engineer (The National, Interpol,<br />
Tokyo Police Club)<br />
