UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 118 - Chapter 12: LA-3A Compressor
CHAPTER 12-
LA-3A Compressor
Overview
The original Teletronix LA-3A Audio Leveler made its debut at the 1969 New
York AES show. Marking a departure from the tube design of the LA-2A Lev-
eling Amplifier, the solid-state LA-3A offered a new sound in optical gain re-
duction, with faster attack and release characteristics that were noticeably dif-
ferent from its predecessor. Immediately embraced as a studio workhorse, the
LA-3A is still widely used today. Engineers and producers the world over fa-
vor the LA-3A for its unique compression characteristics and sonic signature.
Modeled from a unit in UA's vintage collection, our digital emulation of the
LA-3A faithfully captures the hardware's sound, working magic on vocals,
guitars and drums.
