Seller's description

The WA76-D accurately reproduces one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time known for its generous headroom, ultra-fast dynamic control, and rich analog tone. Using premium and custom components like O-12 (input) and 5002 (output) transformers from CineMag, WA76-D achieves authentic 76 rev D style compression, known for having a “low noise” preamp stage with unmistakably analog character. Added modern controls to achieve parallel compression, active & true-bypass, selectable input impedance, and sidechain flexibility make WA76-D an ideal choice for modern recording workflows that require vintage tone shaping. WA76-D recreates the legendary tone & control of the vintage 76-style compression used in studios by artists like Chris Lord-Alge, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, Daft Punk, and many more.Features: 100% analog discrete FET compressor Faithful recreation of the vintage “REV D” FET compressor with added recording features 100-230v IEC inlet universal power supply Class-A line-level output amplifier 100% discrete audio signal path using 600Ω input impedance attenuator Selectable 10KΩ input impedance to better match modern audio interface specifications 100% dry-wet mix control ¼” stereo link & external sidechain access Active bypass for running unit as line amplifier & true bypass option for A/B comparisons 2U 19″ rackmount chassis Utilises premium O-12 input & 5002 output transformers from Cinemag USA “All-Buttons-In” setting for experimental & hard-limiter tones Hand-Tested In Austin, TX Specifications: Frequency Response: ± 1 db 20 hz - 20 khz Balanced XLR & TRS inputs & outputs Total Amplifier Gain: 53db Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 92dB (A-weighted) Total Harmonic Distortion Ratio (Thd+n): -67db (At -6dbu) Vintage-spec attack & release: Attack - 20 µs to 800, Release - 50 ms to 1.1 seconds Variable Sidechain High Pass Filter: 30 - 300Hz, 12db/Octave VU Meter Options: Gain reduction, +8db output, +4db output, “OFF” pow
