Stereo Version of a Classic!

There are some devices, like the LA-2A for instance, that are legendary in the recording world. Based on the classic LA-2A design, the new 2-LA-2 offers two linked or independent channels, greatly expanding the uses of the original LA-2A. The 2-LA-2 is not an exact component clone of the classic LA-2A, but a feature-enhanced stereo evolution of its ancestor that elegantly combines two channels of silky, tube-amplified, stereo matched optical gain reduction in one unit. 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.

Universal Audio 2-LA-2 At-a-Glance:

• Legendary Opto Circuit
  
• Classic Sound, Only Better
  
• Audiophile Construction

Legendary Opto Circuit
Like its ancestor, the 2-LA-2 works by applying the audio signal to an electro-luminescent light panel which shines on a photo-electric cell which in turn controls the gain. Designed by original UREI engineer Dennis Fink, the 2-LA-2 retains the core "sonic signature" components that made the LA-2A the studio standard compressor in recording studios around the world.

Classic Sound, Only Better
The 2-LA-2 is a breakthrough in optical compression. While the 2-LA-2 is not an exact component clone of the classic hand-wired LA-2, the 2-LA-2 is the next generation of the LA optical compression sound. By adding some extra unique features, the 2-LA-2 even allows hardcore tweakers to substitute T4 modules to "tune" compression."

Audiophile Construction
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. 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.
