Designed by original UREI engineer Dennis Fink, the 2-LA-2 retains the original all-discrete Class A circuitry and core \"sonic signature\" components that made the LA-2A the studio standard compressor in recording studios around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith ten tubes and four T4 gain reduction modules, the 2-LA-2 is a breakthrough in optical compression. Featuring two socketed T4 modules on each channel, the 2-LA-2 has switchable slow and fast recovery times. The slow recovery setting delivers the same program dependent, artifact-free gain reduction made famous in the original Teletronix unit used on countless recordings. The new fast recovery option offers more versatility over the original, making the 2-LA-2 an amazing choice for demanding studio tasks such as stereo bus compression or reigning in the fast transients on drum groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2-LA-2 also retains the original (and very simple) control set of the original LA-2A-the Peak Reduction and Gain controls, Output or Gain Reduction Metering switch, the power switch, plus the front panel Limit\/Compress switch that allows a subtle variation of the compressor knee. Rear connections could not be simpler: line in and line out for the two channels, plus IEC socketed power. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 2-LA-2 uses only the finest audiophile quality parts, from metal film resistors and WIMA capacitors to custom UA input and output transformers. In addition, the 2-LA-2 has a much lower noise floor than its ancestor, allowing it to be used on low-output sources with less risk of introducing undesirable hiss into your recordings. From drum bus to master bus, vocals to vibraphones, the 2-LA-2 delivers the same authentic, smooth as silk gain reduction you’ve come to know and trust with the LA-2A, conveniently re-designed into a 2U two-channel package.","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450669723751,"sku":"147917","price":3650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/universal-audio-2-la-2-compressor-limiter-0150-used_147917_1_3d51d22d-3ba6-4fdc-9994-9606fb240d40.jpg?v=1787093997","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/universal-audio-2-la-2-compressor-limiter-0150-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
