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 and 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 and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike all Warm Audio gear, WA76-D is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eCLASSIC STUDIO COMPRESSION WITH RICH ANALOG TONE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe WA76-D is a faithful recreation of the vintage 76 \"Revision-D-Style\" FET studio compressor with added features to meet modern recording workflows. Recreating the lauded \"D-style\" version of the 76 compressor known for its speed, lower noise, and rich analog tone, the WA76-D offers the ideal blend of vintage circuitry and modern controls to deliver ultimate flexibility without sacrificing vintage analog character. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eCRITICAL CLASSIC CONTROLS PLUS BONUS MODERN ADD-ONS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWA76-D delivers vintage circuit design and all of the traditional 76-style compression controls; attack, release, ratio, input, output, and meter display. In addition to the classic controls expected on a 76-style compressor, WA76-D has added stereo linking, dry\/wet mix for parallel compression, external sidechain, selectable input impedance, active and true-bypass, and a variable sidechain high-pass filter to tackle unruly bass that dominates the compressor’s attention.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eCUSTOM CINEMAG TRANSFORMERS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJust like in the vintage 76-style compressors from revision \"A\" to D\", the WA76-D uses custom large-core, CineMag input and output transformers. The transformers inside the WA76-D use the exact same spec data and materials used by Reichenbach Engineering in the original vintage designs known for delivering rich analog tone to any signal chain. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003ePREMIUM COMPONENTS ABD ACCURATE D-STYLE CIRCUITRY\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWA76-D uses premium ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, metal film resistors, and a revised preamp stage, improving the linear response of the FET. These key components complete a circuit that cuts no corners in delivering an authentic \"cleaner, low noise\" 76-style compression experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451175137383,"sku":"463573","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/warm-wa76-d_463573_1_a4927742-7b48-4c81-8b02-a2af7826c5d3.jpg?v=1787096141","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/warm-audio-wa76-d-single-channel-clean-gain-discrete-fet-compressor","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
