A Very Limited Anniversary-edition UA Limiter!
The Universal Audio 1176AE Limiting Amplifier celebrates 10 years of the re-founding of UA in stellar fashion! The 1176AE (Anniversary Edition) also commemorates 40 years of the 1176, combining the unique program-dependent characteristics of the 1176 A "Blue Stripe" with the low-noise circuitry and custom transformers of the Rev. E "Blackface" unit. Plus, UA added ratio selections from the venerable UA 176, as well as a special "super-slow" attack mode. Production is limited to 500 units, so call your Sales Engineer today to get your own 1176AE!

Universal Audio 1176AE Anniversary Edition Limiter at a Glance:
  • 10 years back in business, 40 years of the 1176
  • The best of two great versions
  • A new wrinkle

10 years back in business, 40 years of the 1176
Celebrating a decade of Universal Audio's refounding and just over 40 years since the birth of the 1176, the 1176AE Anniversary Edition is a custom, limited-run, "hod-rodded" version of the world's most recognized studio limiter-only 500 1176AE units will be made available worldwide.

The best of two great versions
The 1176AE borrows the sonically unique program-dependent characteristics from the original, Revision A "Bluestripe", while retaining the class-A low-noise ("LN") circuit and custom transformers of the most popular 1176: Revision E.
Giving the product another sonic distinction, the ratio selections hearken back to the 1176's predecessor the UA 176 Limiting Amplifier. The 1176AE offers a gentler ratio array of 2:1, 4:1, and 8:1 perfect for compression duties-but also preserves 20:1 at the top, for full limiting applications. This ratio modification also allows for a unique range of multi-button ratio combinations, pushing the unit beyond the famous "all-button" mode of the standard unit.

A new wrinkle
UA's 1176AE offers something new for bass-heavy tracks or over-the-top effects, with a unique "super-slow" attack setting of 10ms cleverly repurposed from the redundant Off/Bypass position from the 1176's Attack control. This gives the user an option not achievable with the original unit, allowing transients to pass more freely-again furthering the versatility of the 1176AE beyond its predecessors.

Universal Audio 1176AE Anniversary Edition Limiter Features:
  • Unique rev.A/E "hot-rod-mod" features, cosmetics, and sonic signature
  • Program dependency of legendary "Bluestripe" Rev.A 1176
  • Vintage UA 176 compression ratio array - 2:1, 4:1, and 8:1, with 20:1 for limiting
  • Expanded range of "multi-button" compression and classic "all-button" mode
  • "Slo" 15ms attack setting adds increased versatility for new uses
  • Hand-built in the USA, limited of only 500 units worldwide

The Universal Audio 1176AE celebrates 10 years of the re-founded UA, 40 years of the 1176, and the innovative spirit of Bill Putnam, Sr.!
