TUBE-TECH LCA 2B is one of the most powerful and versatile VCA compressors in the market.
The LCA2B is a true TUBE VCA compressor, using a tube as the VCA.( Voltage controlled amplifier.) This kind of compressor is also known as a Vari Mu compressor.
There''s literally nothing the LCA 2B can't handle; From powerful bus compression to instrument and voice compression.
LCA2B is perfect for serious drum compression, due to the very fast and smooth attack of the compressor + it's a dream used for buss compression both inserted and parallel.
( Check our Video:Parallel Snare Drum Compression )
The action of the LCA2B is always easy to hear, so finding the right setting on this compressor is a not complicated.
LCA2B is designed to be the TUBE-TECH equivalent of the Fairchild 670. BUT it''s NOT the same circuit,
but it is designed with the Fairchild in mind, delivering similar action but without sounding darker when compressing harder.
The fixed attack/release constants are duplicates of the Fairchild constants.
When you want even more control, power and wildness than our famous CL1B can deliver, try the LCA 2B.
The LCA2B has found its use in many top live Engineers' touring racks.
Barb is known as producer for numerous artists such as Blondie and Rufus Wainwright, and as one half of the
production duo Super Buddha
"the LCA2B is one of my favorite compressors because of how versatile it is. i can get it warm and tubey for vocals but on the other hand it can deal with slamming drums as well. I've used it for both Debbie's vocals and Chris' guitars on a lot of the Blondie records I've done. whatever i use it on seems to immediately sit in the mix with perfection. its been a staple at my studio for almost a decade now."

Quote from SOS atricle: Joe Baressi, "Recording Queens Of The Stone Age"
When nagged further about the ins and outs of his wall-of-rock sound, Barresi soon lands on a not-so-secret ingredient. "I use a lot of compression, obviously, for example the EMI TG12413, Focusrite Red 3, Tube-tech LCA 2B, Dbx 160, Neve 33609 or 2254, things like that. I also spend a lot time riding the faders when I'm mixing, so I can retain some dynamics and separation and the individual sounds are still recognisable and hard. When you compress too hard you lose all your dynamics. I'm a big fan of parallel compression, so I'll often mix in non-compressed sound with compressed sound to maintain the transients. Or I may use the console compressor on the SSL on an individual channel and buss my whole drum kit to a Tube-tech compressor or something. Also, in general I try not to over-EQ stuff, unless it's to get a particular sound. I'd rather get the sound I want out of the microphone. It does start there. It all starts at the source."
The TUBE-TECH LCA 2B is a two-channel unit with an
independent
compressor and limiter per channel.
The unit is all tube based (except for the power supply
and side chain circuit). The VCA (1 dual triode) is placed between the input
transformer and the output stage (2 dual triodes).
The audio signal is
picked up after the VCA and fed to the side chain circuit. The control signal
from the compressor and from the limiter is combined and sent to the link switch
and to the control amp, which feeds the VCA. The two bi-directional link busses
are accessible at two 1/4" stereo jack sockets on the rear panel. The channels
can be linked together for stereo applications and also linked to other LCA 2B's
via the two link busses and a standard stereo jack/jack cord.
The compressor has six att/rel presets ( Fairchild
time constants ) as well as manual control. The limiter att/rel is fixed. The
LED display is fed from the control amp. The limiter LED is fed from the limiter
buffer.The audio path is fully symmetrical from input to output. Input and
output have fully floating transformers. All DC voltages are stabilized, except
the anode voltage for the output stage.
