LA-3A: compression with character for every mix

The Teletronix LA-3A is a solid-state optical compressor that has become famous for its ability to push sound to the forefront with a quick, energetic and slightly aggressive response. It is the ideal choice when definition, presence and a touch of musical saturation are needed, especially on rhythm instruments and vocals.

The "secret" of great mix engineers

Used as a "secret weapon" in the studio, the LA-3A combines the optical response of the famous LA-2A with the boost of a transistor circuit, creating a unique effect, full of punch but still musical. Universal Audio's emulation is based on an original unit from its vintage collection and reproduces every sonic nuance with extreme fidelity.

Advanced control with Dry/Wet and sidechain

In addition to the classic Gain and Peak Reduction controls, this plug-in version adds two powerful tools for modern sound design: an Emphasis HF sidechain filter to prevent excessive compression on low frequencies and a Mix control for parallel compression. Perfect for punch, detail, and precision on every track.
