LA-3A
CLASSIC AUDIO LEVELER PLUG-IN
Exclusively for: Signature Solid State Electro-Optical Compressor In Powered Plug-In Format.
The LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler made its debut at the 1969 NY AES show, and marked the
departure from the tube design of the Teletronix LA-2A. The LA-3A incorporated components
and design concepts from the Putnam-designed 1176LN Limiting Amplifier, giving the LA-3A its
own distinctive sound. This plug-in provides the same unique compression character and solid
mid-range — capable of moving sounds right to the front of your speakers — that make its analog counterpart a
favorite among audio professionals everywhere.
The Glitch Mob
“The UAD LA-3A plug-in is one of our
favorite sound design tools and we frequently
use it to destroy reverb tails for interesting
atmospheric effects.”
