WARM AUDIO WA76-D

Description

The WA76-D accurately reproduces one of the fastest and most powerful compressors of all time, with ultra-fast dynamic control and rich analog tone. CineMag transformers and modern controls make it ideal for workflows that demand vintage modeling.Feature Bullets Classic Studio Compression with Rich Analog Tone: The WA76-D is a faithful reproduction of the vintage 76 "Revision-D-Style" FET studio compressor, with added features to meet modern recording workflows. This "D-style" version is known for its speed, noise reduction, and rich analog tone. Classic Controls and Modern Bonuses: It includes traditional 76-style compression controls (attack, release, ratio, input, output, and meter), plus stereo linking, parallel compression, external sidechain, selectable input impedance, and active bypass. Custom CineMag Transformers: As in vintage compressors, it uses custom CineMag transformers to ensure a rich analog tone faithful to the original designs. Premium Components: It includes ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, metal film resistors, and a preamplifier stage that improves the FET's linear response, ensuring cleaner compression. Hand-Tested in Austin, Texas: Each unit is meticulously tested and inspected by experienced technicians.Technical Specifications 100% analog discrete FET compressor.
