The History of Teletronix: Teletronix founder Jim Lawrence first used photocells to control audio gain in the early 1960s. His ingenious optical compression design was a technological breakthrough that far surpassed the stability and transparency of the previous circuits. Universal Audio founder MT "Bill" Putnam later purchased this patented technology and continued manufacturing the LA-2A for years to come.
