When it comes to professional audio equipment, the 2A-KT Classic Leveling Amplifier with Vacuum Tubes, Optical Attenuator, and Midas Transformers stands as a testament to high-quality, innovative design. This reliable and durable amplifier is a modern homage to the iconic Teletronix LA-2A, a pioneer in audio-processing that has left its mark on countless recordings.
The 2A-KT Classic Leveling Amplifier draws inspiration from the original Teletronix LA-2A, first produced in the early 1960s. This vintage piece of audio history is renowned for its smooth musical sound, and has been a staple in all stages of the recording process, from tracking to mastering. The 2A-KT carries this legacy forward, incorporating the same lag-free optical attenuator based on electroluminescent technology, ensuring unparalleled precision and superb signal integrity for the modern audio age.
The warm, rich sound of the 2A-KT is attributed to its premium, hand-selected 12AX7, 12BH7, and EL84 tubes. This combination delivers ultra low-noise analog output, perfectly balancing tight, warm bass, silky-smooth midrange, and brilliant, airy treble.
The 2A-KT Classic Leveling Amplifier offers incredible flexibility, with a frequency response extending from 10 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 1 dB). It features gain limiting from 0 to 30 dB with an ultra-fast attack time of 10 milliseconds, and a release time ranging from 50 milliseconds to a full 5 seconds. The Limit/Compress switch allows for selection between the internally-fixed compression ratio of Compress mode and the near-infinite ratio in Limit mode.
The 2A-KT also includes a built-in adjustable stereo-link TRS connection, allowing a pair of 2A-KTs to blend their sidechain signals for shared threshold response. The controls consist of a Pre-Emphasis trimmer, a Peak Reduction knob, and an Output Gain knob, providing precise control over the audio output.
Staying true to its vintage roots, the 2A-KT features old-school VU Meters for metering, providing a realistic view of perceived loudness. It also offers both XLR and 1/4" TRS balanced Inputs and Outputs with custom-designed MIDAS transformer, operating at line level, and unbalanced connections via 1/4" TS cables.
The 2A-KT Classic Leveling Amplifier is more than just a piece of audio equipment; it's a piece of audio history, reimagined for the 21st century. It offers the precise dynamics processing that has defined generations of musical excellence, making it an essential addition to any professional audio setup.
