Our UA Classics reissue of the LA-3A meticulously retains all the internal and external qualities of the original: The same simple control set, and the T4 electro-optical attenuator, which is the source of the LA-3A's program dependent compression. Immediately embraced as a studio workhorse - serving in the rack of the remote van used to record Prince & The Revolution’s Purple Rain and employed for double-duty during the recording and mixing of Justin Townes Earle’s Midnight At The Movies as examples - the LA-3A remains a favorite of engineers and producers worldwide to this day. The original LA-3A marked the departure from the tube design of the Teletronix LA-2A. The LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler combines custom UA transformers and design cues from the 1176LN with the T4 electro-optical attenuator of the LA-2A to create its own unique compression characteristics and sonic signature. A Beloved Solid-State T4 Electro-Optical Classic Compressor
