Modeled from a unit in UA’s vintage collection, the Teletronix LA-3A Audio Leveler plug-in gives you all the tone and pugnacious dynamics control of the rare hardware.

Get In-Your-Face Optical Compression Tones

By giving you faster limiting than the tube-driven smooth operator Teletronix LA-2A with the clarity of the iconic solid-state 1176, the Teletronix LA-3A plug-in offers bold, mid-forward compression, guaranteed to make your sounds pop.

Easily Get Pro Limiting on Drums

Use the HF Emphasis sidechain filter to punch up your drum bus with legendary LA-3A tone, without triggering the threshold of the compressor with the kick drum.
