What compression was meant to be!
These really sound fantastic. Grey face is a little slow on release for some things but the sliver more than makes up for it. These comps just have a thick sound to them. The legacy version is great but these actually are worth the upgrade. Super easy to dial in-set and forget. The emphasis control makes compressing the "right" part of the signal possible. Love owning these!!

Dept across the Wide Spectrum
These units are very impressive. the depthe across the wide spectrum is something that both needs to be felt and heard.
The Filters are wide, deep and analog smooth - not dense and brittle or as hard-knee as some 'high end' software can be.
Thanks for the plug0ins UA. 5/5

Hardware vs Software
I used these hardware beauties, at Islands Basing St studio, London, back in the 70's.
Wonderful equipment.
And to my ears, and tactility, they've been cracked in the software world ( this also includes the 1176 collection)
Never thought I'd actually own a batch of them one day!
Well done UA!

Amazing EQ!!!
I have to say that this is my favorite, go-to EQ (API being my second choice, Cambridge being my third, depending on the song). When mixing my wife's songs, it warms up her vocals, giving them presence and shine. I also like to place this EQ on the Master Buss (after either the Neve or Fairchild compressor) to help sculpt and glue my mix. Way to go UAD!!!

More finely tuned
Even though I could not get this to work with Peak as Audio Units, this is a far more refined sounding version of the Pultec Pro. It's a shame you can't stack them all as one single plug in, which is what I was hoping for, an integrated unit. But, it does sound great, more sensitive and refined. You have to work a touch harder to get results, but it is more than worth it. The addition of an output level is incredibly welcome. So, pro's and cons, but excellent none the less. It sounds absolutely fantastic.

Another plugin I didn't think I needed but love.
You'd think I would have learned my lesson with the Fairchild, the 1176, and the Pultec update, but no I waited to get this. I didn't think UA could do better that the Legacy LA2A. Just like the 1176 pack I was kicking myself for not having this for mixes I just finessed. I have used may versions of the LA2A hardware and they all have their place but you don't always have the one you need at the studio you in that day. Until now. A very useful update indeed. Thank you.

LA2A collection
I'm probably one of the only recordists/mixers on the planet who doesn't think the LA2A is amongst the greatest compressors ever. I've just never been taken with them. This collection does a very fine job of capturing the various units' characters (although, I've never used an original LA2 so I can't speak with authority on that particular box), and makes short work of bass and vocal compression. Fun tip: a buddy of mine suggested I try it out on drum buss, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Give it a shot some time.

Pultec Passive EQ collection
Great-sounding plugin eq. The best Pultec clone plug I've used to date. Brilliant for adding top end to overheads, air to vocals, sparkle to acoustic instruments. The bottom end isn't quite as meaty and thick as the real thing, but it's darn good nonetheless. My go-to brightener ITB.

Absolutely amazing!
Another fantastic update from Universal Audio. This thing rocks! Try stacking four of these in row on your master without any gain to really hear the transformers work :)

Level up with these
Used one of these in practically ever session I've done. A great asset and they sound great

save you money
it's really three separate plugins, too bad it does't pop up like the picture. i've been using the original pultec plug that comes with UAD2 and i can't tell the difference. all i really wanted was the high pass, so if i could get my money back i'd just continue to use my stock PT eq for low cut and the original pultec collection that came with my card.

nice!
These plugs make anything sound sweeter. I use them on drum buss, vocals, bass and whole mixes. It will be hard not to overuse these. Simple to use. I wish with these and other UA plugins the window or plug in size can be adjusted to fit more on the screen at once. There's a whole lot of real estate that does nothing. Its about the sound, not the look. I understand the whole classic marketing angle; the wear marks, label tape, scratches and rack mounting holes are novel enough, but I would gladly forsake the true to scale graphics for a compressed(pun intended) GUI with just the space I need. It would be really cool if GUIs could be customized. And midi control would be great too, so I can use a real knob instead mouse.

Love em
I used the Legacy LA2A for a good while and loved it. I got these three when UA had em on for 99 bucks and its been great. All three have their own unique vibe. I'm using these a little bit more than the 1176 collection, so if you only buy one go for the LA2As first. They have a very analog feel. They are rather DSP hungry compared to the legacy version.

Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection Review
These emulations should be in every engineers arsenal. I challenge anyone to find fault. They are that good !!
S. Ha
beautiful sound~!
Seriously though, the Pultec is an incredible Eq
Pultec's unparalleled sound and control.
It's a original~!

Amazing Color !
I have only few pieces in real hardware ( e.g. UBK Fatso, API 5000) and honestly I cannot compare the LA_2A collection to real hardware. But I can say that these
emulations sound very, very good. They add a certain vibe and have a signature sound we all know from many hit records. Amazing collection !! Almost a must-have ...

A MUST HAVE
I was mixing down a new CD went back to all songs I was using the legacy version and put the passive EQ in its place was blown away with the clarity and total vibe that this plugin brought to the mix totally worth the time to redo.
B. Cyril
Simply the best!!
I use the Teletronix LA-2A since 2 weeks and i just want to say that this product is amazing!!
Now my music will be the same one never again.I recommend the LA-2A if you wish to give a new dimension to your songs.

An Essential
This plugin really is a studio essential. LA2As have been a huge part of making top records for years, and now we can all have the experience of their signature sound in our mixes. This is my go to for so many things. I'm sure whatever you put through it will sound great, but I particularly love it on vocals and bass!!

Excellent Levelers
Excellent Levelers. Nice Sound. Especially the Gray Version on Vocals works fine.
