The Beta76 Rack preserves the complete architecture and sonic character of the 1176: fast FET attack (20 µs – 800 µs), ratio options of 4:1 \/ 8:1 \/ 12:1 \/ 20:1 with the \"All Buttons In\" mode, transformer-balanced input and output, and the characteristic FET coloration with a subtle upper-midrange lift under compression. Unlike the ng500 modules and Starlight units, the Beta76 Rack contains no VST\/AU digital integration — it is a pure analog processor without a digital recall or automation layer. Also available in 500-series format (1-slot module).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eFET 1176 — transient speed and coloration character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe field-effect transistor as the gain-control element delivers the characteristic transient response speed unavailable in VCA and optical compressors: a 20-microsecond attack allows hard peak control on drums, guitars, and vocals without click artifacts. Ratio: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, and the \"All Buttons In\" mode — the classic 1176 configuration where pressing all ratio buttons simultaneously creates a unique, aggressive compression character with low-end boost and a shortened attack transient. Attack: 20 µs – 800 µs, Release: 50 ms – 1.1 s, both with continuous adjustment. Input (threshold\/input gain) and Output (makeup gain) controls on the front panel. VU meter with a switchable indication mode (output \/ GR). Transformer-balanced input and output provide the analog coloration and characteristic tone of the 1176. An IN\/OUT bypass switch. No stereo link — the Beta76 Rack is a mono processor without pairing functionality built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eBuild quality and position in the Wes Audio line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Beta76 Rack is a classic analog processor with no digital layer — no VST\/AU plug-ins, no DAW automation, no digital recall. This makes it a straightforward tool for engineers who prefer traditional hardware operation without DAW integration. Construction is based on carefully selected audio-grade components, high-quality audio transformers, and a precisely calibrated FET circuit. The 1U rack format allows mounting in a standard 19\" rack without requiring a 500-series enclosure. The Beta76 Rack is also available as a 500-series module (1-slot) — an alternative for 500-series-based setups; the ng500 _MIMAS module (2-slot) is the advanced version with full digital integration. Two Beta76 Rack units can be linked via an external cable for stereo compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMono FET compressor 1176 style, 1U rack format — no digital integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRatio: 4:1 \/ 8:1 \/ 12:1 \/ 20:1 + \"All Buttons In\" mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAttack: 20 µs – 800 µs (continuous adjustment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRelease: 50 ms – 1.1 s (continuous adjustment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eControls: Input (threshold) and Output (makeup gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\"All Buttons In\" mode: aggressive compression with low-end boost and shortened transient\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTransformer-balanced input and output — analog harmonic coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVU meter: output \/ GR, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIN\/OUT bypass switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePure analog — no VST\/AU, no DAW automation, no digital recall\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStereo link via external cable (when using two units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 1U rack 19\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAlso available as 500-series module (1-slot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: mono FET compressor 1176 style, 1U rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignal path: fully analog, FET\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRatio: 4:1 \/ 8:1 \/ 12:1 \/ 20:1 + \"All Buttons In\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAttack: 20 µs – 800 µs (continuous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRelease: 50 ms – 1.1 s (continuous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eControls: Input, Output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTransformer: transformer-balanced input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVU meter: output \/ GR, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBypass: IN\/OUT switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital integration: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStereo link: external cable (optional when using two units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eI\/O: balanced XLR or TRS Jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: internal, 230\/115V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 1U rack 19\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WesAudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769652765009,"sku":"44924","price":1380.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WesAudioBeta76rack1.jpg?v=1778757735","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/wes-audio-beta76-rack","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
