Daytona Beach, FLORIDA - Introducing the DA-3A Dual-Channel Optical Leveling Amplifier, AudioScape’s more-real-than-recreated take on the Teletronix® LA-3A Leveling Amplifier, one of the great optical compressors of yesteryear. Considered one of the “secret weapons” of studio recording in its day, it became ubiquitous in studios around the world. Still loved by producers and engineers, its characteristic mid-forward punch and super-articulate response make it a requisite tool for punching up stereo drum mixes, controlling vocals and making rhythm guitar tracks come alive in the mix.

The DA-3A uses AudioScape’s own authentic T4b opto-attenuator, made in-house, as well as their proprietary, custom-wound input/ output transformers and auto-former, precise replicas
made to the late 60’s-early 70’s spec. NOS metal-can transistors and period-correct carbon film resistors are used throughout, just like the original.

AudioScape has added a few much needed updates, making the DA-3A even more useful for the modern workflow.

These include:
  • Stereo Linking via front-panel LINK switch
  • Front-panel mounted STEREO ADJUST and HF CONTOUR controls
  • Integrated Bob Clearmountain-inspired Gain Mod, lowering noise floor

Hand-built in Daytona Beach, Florida, the DA-3A has all the the marks of AudioScape’s deep dedication to true vintage recreations; NOS components when available, custom-built precise replicas when they’re not, and the highest quality modern components when it makes sense for reliability and longevity.

Make this unique piece of recording history a part of your future legacy!
