TELETRONIX LA-2A CLASSIC TUBE LEVELING AMPLIFIER (YOM:????) (SN:479)
THE LA-2A IS A HAND-WIRED, TUBE-BASED, COMPRESSOR. IT USES AN ELECTRO-LUMINESCENT PANEL TOGETHER WITH A CADMIUM-SULFIDE LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTOR TO PROVIDE GAIN REDUCTION, WHICH, IN THE LA-2A, IS CALLED THE T4 CELL. THE PROPERTIES OF THE T4 GIVE THE LA-2A ITS UNIQUE CHARACTER BY MAKING IT AN ENTIRELY PROGRAM DEPENDENT DESIGN. THE ATTACK TIME IS 10 MICROSECONDS[4] AND THE RELEASE TIME IS ABOUT 60 MS FOR 50% RELEASE AND 0.5 TO 5 SECONDS FOR FULL RELEASE, DEPENDING ON THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM MATERIAL.[4]
THE LA-2A HAS SIMPLE CONTROLS: A PEAK-REDUCTION KNOB CONTROLS THE GAIN OF THE SIDE-CHAIN CIRCUIT, AND THEREFORE, THE GAIN REDUCTION; A GAIN CONTROL FOR MAKE-UP GAIN; AND A LIMIT/COMPRESS SWITCH WHICH ALTER THE COMPRESSION RATIO. THE VU METER MAY ALSO BE SWITCHED TO SHOW GAIN REDUCTION OR OUTPUT LEVEL.
THE LA-2A HAS A SONIC CHARACTER THAT MAKES IT SOUGHT AFTER BY MANY RECORDING ENGINEERS.
