From Our Research Team:

True Stereo 1176!

Finally, a true stereo 1176! With over 2000 units already sold to date since the year 2000 re-birth of Universal Audio’s 1176LN, it is clear the public’s love affair with the legendary sound of the 1176 is still as passionate as ever.

The 2-1176 builds from the circuit design of UA’s hugely successful 6176 Channel Strip and combines two 1176 channels from that unit-- an uncompromising design, with all the same components- stereo matched to boot!

With the release of the 2-1176, UA once again put that sound into your rack but with twice the tone, twice the character and twice the compression-- at an unbelievable price, and half the space. As you would expect from UA, it also retains all the features and trademark sound of its ancestor, and switches easily between dual mono and stereo link.

And yes—it does All-Button!


Features:
  • Sound and features of the original 1176
  • Custom classic 1176 output transformers
  • Stereo or dual mono operation
  • Totally independent compression and gain controls in dual mono
  • Matched FETs and output transformers
  • Rack space convenience of two 1176s in a 2U rack design

Much More Than A Compressor

by Andy from Colorado

Music Background: Musician / Engineer
Arguably, this box sees more use in my studio than anything else I own. I use it as a channel strip for tracking in addition to regular compression / limiting duties.

Then, when I'm done wiht mixdown, I'll run the final out of Logic thru this box and in to a couple of Tube-Tech pultec type EQ's and, voila - instant master - more than good enough for final production. close [-]

Quality Compressor

by micca from

Music Background:
You can get some tone out of this gear. With digital recording, sometimes a completely transparent compressor is not the answer. However it can do both, be transparent or pump the sound. A tube pre pl... read more [+]us this unit can get rid of that digital edginess. An inexpensive compressor can pump the sound too, but your never 100% satisfied. You always get that squashed processed sound. The 1176 does it more naturally, giving drums/bass that punch and keeping guitars/vocals under control yet defined. You'll use this on every track. close [-]
