Universal Audio LA2A Levelling Amplifier
Optical style tube compressor with class A output amplifier

Painstaking care has been taken to ensure that every new LA-2A provides the performance and characteristics of the original. Each unit is hand built and each component carefully evaluated for authenticity. No expense has been spared to guarantee that this LA-2A will bring that classic sound to your recording.
