Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection
-
La collection ultime du compresseur optique le plus respecté.
Avec sa délicate compression optique variant en fonction du signal et son amplificateur à lampes méticuleusement conçu, le LA-2A est le compresseur incontournable des ingénieurs du son professionnels et ce, partout dans le monde. En 2001, avec le premier plug-in LA-2A UAD, Universal Audio a créé ce qui allait devenir la référence de l'émulation analogique.
Aujourd'hui, les ingénieurs d'UA ont repensé le plug-in LA-2A avec une obsession du détail encore plus grande. La LA-2A Classic Leveler Plug-In Collection pour systèmes UAD-2 et interfaces Apollo dispose de modélisations impeccables de trois unités LA-2A très recherchées, vous donnant les émulations les plus authentiques jamais réalisées de ce compresseur emblématique.Vous pouvez maintenant :
Enregistrer et mixer avec trois versions historiques des sacro-saints Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifiers, chacun avec ses propres attributs sonores caractéristiques
Enregistrer en temps réel au travers d'un Teletronix LA-2A/LA-2 avec les interfaces Apollo
Offrir au chant, à la basse, à la batterie et autres des textures de compression optique idéales
Exploiter des presets d'utilisateurs célèbres de LA-2A comme Ross Hogarth, Darrell Thorp et Vance Powell
Take A Listen
L'histoire du Teletronix
Jim Lawrence, fondateur de Teletronix, a utilisé des cellules photoélectriques pour la première fois au début des années 1960 afin de contrôler le gain audio. Son ingénieux concept de compression optique a été une révolution technologique, dont la stabilité et la transparence dépassaient de loin celles des circuits existants. Le fondateur d'Universal Audio, M.T. « Bill » Putnam, racheta plus tard cette technologie brevetée pour continuer à fabriquer le LA-2A durant les années à venir.
Trois unités historiques
Avec la Teletronix LA-2A Leveler Collection, vous avez sous les doigts trois des incarnations les plus convoitées de l'emblématique processeur Teletronix. Comme la version hardware, les modélisations LA-2A Silver, LA-2A Gray et LA-2 offrent des variations distinctes pour les constantes de temps, la progressivité de la compression, la marge, la distorsion harmonique, la dépendance au signal audio et aux fréquences, et plus encore.
LA-2A Silver et Gray
Avec une façade en aluminium brossé et un module de réduction de gain T4B original, cette version « Silver » si appréciée du LA-2A, datant de la fin des années 60 et fabriquée par Bill Putnam, est peut-être la plus souple des trois plug-ins de la collection. Sa constante de temps rapide l'adapte bien à la plus grande variété de programmes audio, y compris aux sources riches en transitoires comme la batterie et les percussions. La version « Gray » du LA-2A de Jim Lawrence, datant du milieu des années 60, maintient une constante de temps intermédiaire, produisant une gamme de compressions à « vitesse moyenne ».
Le LA-2 original
D'une rareté extrême, le LA-2 du début des années 1960 a précédé le LA-2A de plusieurs années. Sa réponse est la plus lente et il donne un son « adouci » unique, dû aux 50 ans de vieillissement du panneau luminescent à l'intérieur du module T4. Utilisez le LA-2 sur des interprétations legato et des sources vocales pour une transparence et une atmosphère sublime qu'aucun autre compresseur ne permet.
“This sounds exactly like I hoped it would — real, warm, and 100% fantastic.”
– Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs)
“Turn up the input gain on the new UAD LA-2 plug-in and listen to the life it brings to your track. One word. Wow.”
– Darrell Thorp (Beck, Radiohead, Charlotte Gainsbourg)
“The LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection opens up a wonderful sonic palette that's rich and a pleasure to use.”
– Carl Glanville (U2, Billy Joel, Counting Crows)
“The UAD LA-2A Collection has the best models of the real hardware I've ever heard. It's like owning the real deal, that will never require a tech guy.”
– Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Shinedown, Train)
“The UAD LA-2A is the first thing in my vocal chain. It brings unmatched attitude to lead vocals and sets the tone for songs.”
– Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Estelle)
“I'm flipping out with the new UAD LA-2A Collection! Having the tonal and response variations between the different versions gives me more brushes to paint with, especially on bass guitar and vocals.”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“The LA-2A plug-in is the closest thing to my analog version that I have found.”
– Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, Motley Crue)
“My vocal chain is an LA-2A, SSL E Series Channel Strip, an 1176LN, and a Precision De-Esser. They're amazing plug-ins.”
– Hector Delgado (A$AP Rocky, Selena Gomez, Jay-Z)
“The UAD LA-2A plug-in has become my go-to compressor for lead vocals and acoustic guitars. ”
– Ariel Borujow (Chromeo, Mac Miller, Madonna)Avis Clients

Parfait pour les voix
J'ai acheté la LA-2A collection peu après avoir testé la version "legacy", qui m'a apporté un bel aperçu de ce que pourrait donner la version "collection". Je n'ai pas été déçu!
J'utilise principalement le LA-2A sur des prises de voix, mais il fonctionne également très bien pour des guitares ou des basses.
Le gros avantage est de pouvoir choisir entre les 3 modèles proposés, qui ont chacun leurs spécificités (vitesse d'attaque, possibilité de passer en mode limiter, emphasis...).
C'est d'une simplicité enfantine, et parfois, seul la couleur qu'apporte le plug, sans activer la compression, suffit à donner un résultat satisfaisant.
Ce plug est un must have.D. Young
I Am A Believer!
I've used quite a few LA-2A's in my day and I was super skeptical when purchasing this plugin.... It didn't take long before i saw its core power! This compressor became my permanent compressor for my vocal chain when tracking/mixing in the box. Male, Female, low voice, a high nasally voice, it doesn't matter! UA made the compressors like virtual tanks!( And not a DSP hog like other units are.) *thumbs up* , Cheers!

Teletronix La-2A Classic Collection
I'm particular about optical compressors. I love the original LA2A and the LA3A, but I have yet to be excited about any of the "clones" or other types of optical compressors that I've used. I've found the Legacy version of the LA2A to be surprisingly useful. When I finally got around to demoing the Classic Collection, I was REALLY blown away. All three of the units have unique characteristics that make each one useful, but the sound of the silverface LA2A makes the package worth the purchase price. This version of the LA2A is so much closer to the sound of the original units that I've used than any of the hardware clones I've heard. This was an easy purchase for me and I've used the Classic LA2As on every mix I've done since I bought it.

Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection
I was finished with a session at the end of the day, before I purchased. After installation, I went back to the project I had been working on and tried these out on several different things in one of the tunes. On bass guitar, vocals and acoustic guitar they all were "jaw dropping." I have used the hardware versions many times through the years, and was so happy to know that I could get the same sound without having to fork over several thousand dollars, not to mention maintaining such wonderful hardware pieces. I think you would be happy to have these in your arsenal.
D. Powell
love it...
I remember when it came it reading a review that it wasn't as exciting as the Fairchild updated plugs, etc....... but I have to disagree. I have used it for many applications at this point and it just excelled at all of them..... basically has sounded great no matter what I use it for, just as you would expect the real vintage hardware items to sound.... so, I'm very happy and once again heading into "how can I live without it" mode....

Slow & sexy
Far superior to the legacy version, these three emulations are a superb tool for bass, brass sections, drum buses - I haven't had the opportunity to try them on vocals yet.
I find the emphasis control critical for the correct response. I'm working on a lot of retro music & they seem to really capture the vibe. True I've never owned the originals but I'm loving these compressors. Be careful not to drive them too hard though as they can easily bring in unwanted distortion. If you like John Barry, Morricine etc then you'll love these beauties!D. Iljes
Teletronix
Great update.
Significant sound improvement compared to the legacy version.
Unfair price-ing to existing users.J. Boydstun
It sounds the same...
The same as my thousands in hardware I used to have!! I got all the new collections of the classics and I honestly think they're do everything I always grabbed them for in the real world. Love this UA system. I missed letting my studio go when I retired, but now I have it all back, for a lot less...LOL

The Vocal Compressor
The easiest and one of the most beautiful way of compressing Vocals. Its natural and smooth sound is unbeatable.

LA2A collection flexibility and nice sound
Teletronix LA-2A collection faithfully reproduces the classic analog compressor.
The sound is really nice and works very well in the mix.
Performs well on transients, gives character to the tracks.
His algoritimo seems to me the best so far. The curve of comprehension is very well reproduced.
The three different models provide a lot of flexibility.
Each one has their own tone and different attack and release times.
LA-2A Silver Is the newest and fastest incarnation.
LA-2A Grey has medium attack and release times and is the best compromise on many sources with a more meaty tone.
LA-2 oldest is very special.
Point against him: consumes a lot of CPU compared to the version legasy a
parallel compression and sidechain is missing.B. Callaway
Must Have
Simply put, indispensable. While a go-to for vocals, there are just so many places you can use this LA-2A now thanks to the multiple "flavors" as long as you're open to it. No it won't work on everything, but it works with so much it is again, indispensable.
Despite the fact that it's just a plugin, this is one of my favorite pieces of "gear" even if it's just virtual. A++++++++++++++++J. Heath
Perfectly transparent
These compressors work so well, it's unreal. They really do sound analog. The silver is my favorite for most applications, but the other two can add just the right amount of crunch when that's what I need. Thanks UA.

LA-2A
Astonishing sound, right price thanks to promotion. This should be the current price for UA plugins.
A. Picciafuochi

in short: do not try them, otherwise you will buy them immediately!

Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection
I have been looking for a compressor to make my vocals, bass guitar and kick drum sit really nicely in my mixes and to give the punch that I been looking for. Now with the purchase of the Teletronix Leveler collection I am able to achieve what I have not been able to achieve with other compressors. I use all three compressors in my mixes and the sound quality of ALL 3 is just amazing! Thank you Universal Audio for these three plugins at such an affordable price.

Haven't heard anything with this much analogue mojo in a compressor before. The UA plugs just keep getting batter.

Amazing!! Sweet!!!
The most amazing plugin ever!!! Make my tracks sweet!! Acustic guitars, voice and more.
S. Grush
Magical
This collection is super legit. From soft to heavy compression and everything in between, you need these in your mixing repertoire. My first instance of "wow" was using the Silver on a lead guitar. I was just fighting to get the lead to sit right and I pulled my entire chain a part and started over. Removed the outboard Distressor (which is super rare to do that) and the lead just sat well in the box. No EQ, just the Silver. I went back and carved the EQ a bit and it was polished like a gem.
Highly recommend.
