True to the Original Design, our Famed Tube-Amplified T4 Electro-Optical Classic Compressor.
Audio professionals revere the LA-2A. The original was immediately acknowledged for its smooth, natural com-
pression characteristics. A unique tube-driven electro-optical attenuator system allows instantaneous gain reduc-
tion with no increase in harmonic distortion — an accomplishment at the time, still appreciated today. This faithful
Universal Audio reissue marks the rebirth of the Teletronix LA-2A. Painstaking care has been taken to ensure that
every new LA-2A provides the performance characteristics of the original. Each unit is point-to-point hand-wired
and built 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.

Of course, these credits wouldn’t mean a thing if our modern
analog reissues didn’t sound and perform like their vintage
ancestors. Thankfully, they do. Each UA reissue, tube or solid
state, is hand-built in our Scotts Valley headquarters. We use
identical components and manufacturing techniques whenever
possible, and go to exhaustive lengths to ensure that brand-new
units sound just like well-maintained units built decades ago.

This attention to detail is also evident in our “modern classics”
like the LA-610 MkII and 6176 Channel Strips, the 710 TwinFinity,
4-710d, and SOLO/610 Mic Preamps — which build upon classic
designs of the past with features tailored to modern studio
environments.
