This LA-2A has been gone through and serviced. A new meter was placed on the unit, and the faceplate was cut to fit the new meter.
The Teletronix LA-2A is a legendary optical tube compressor known for its smooth, natural compression and warm, vintage character. First introduced in the 1960s, it features a T4 electro-optical attenuator, which provides program-dependent compression with a soft knee, making it ideal for vocals, bass, and other dynamic sources. With simple Peak Reduction and Gain controls, the LA-2A delivers effortless leveling and a signature warmth prized by engineers and producers. Its tube-driven circuitry and transformer-balanced design contribute to its rich, musical sound, making it a staple in professional studios for decades.
