An absolute must for vocals and beyond

Used on thousands of professional records, the LA-2A is known for its ability to "hold together" a voice without ever sounding aggressive. Its slow attack and automatic release also make it perfect for electric bass, strings, pads, and any source that needs dynamic control with a warm analog touch.
