2-LA-2 Twin T4 Leveling Amplifier

October 11, 2006

Universal Audio today announced the development of the 2-LA-2 Twin T4 Leveling Amplifier. Based on the classic LA-2A design, the new 2-LA-2 offers two linked or independent channels and two T4 optical compression cells per channel, greatly expanding the uses of the original LA-2A. The 2-LA-2 will ship worldwide in Q1 2007. Final pricing will be announced at the time of first customer ship but as with the 2-1176, will offer a significant discount over purchasing two classic units.

"The 2-LA-2 is a feature-enhanced stereo evolution of the classic LA-2A sound redesigned to fit neatly into a 2U rack." said Mike Barnes, VP of Marketing for Universal Audio. "Uniquely, the 2-LA-2 offers twin T4 cells (one fast and one slow) on each channel which means the 2-LA-2 can be used in conventional dual mono "classic" mode or in fast recovery mode as a stereo bus or drum group compressor which opens up many potential new uses of the LA-2A sound in recording, broadcast and live sound markets. "

2-LA-2 Key Features:

Sound and circuit of the original Teletronix LA-2A
Matched slow and fast optical T4 modules
Linked stereo or dual mono operation
2U Rack, Custom UA Transformers, audiophile components
Designed by original UREI® engineer, Dennis Fink

"With ten tubes and four T4 gain reduction modules, the 2-LA-2 is a real breakthrough in optical compression." said Dennis Fink, Chief analog designer on 2-LA-2. "The real design challenge was to retain all the essence of the "LA" sound within a brand new circuit layout and squeeze it into the desired standard 2U rack. While the 2-LA-2 is not an exact component clone of our classic hand-wired LA-2, this new product created a great opportunity to evolve the next generation of the LA optical compression sound. By adding some extra unique features such as the twin socketed T4 cells on each channel, the 2-LA-2 even allows hardcore tweakers to substitute T4 modules to "tune" compression."
