Warm Audio WA76-D – dual-channel discrete FET compressor inspired by the classic UREI 1176 Rev D, delivering ultra-fast dynamic control with warm analog tone. Equipped with CineMag transformers for low noise and high headroom. Supports stereo link modes, parallel compression (dry/wet), active/true bypass, and switchable input impedance (600Ω/10kΩ). Ideal for vocals, drums, and mixing with authentic vintage character.
The device excels in transparent compression, harmonic saturation, and flexibility for professional studio applications.
