For sale is an original UREI 1176LN Peak Limiter, serial number 4683.

This is a genuine vintage UREI unit from the 1970s—not a modern Universal Audio reissue or clone. It has been carefully maintained over the years and remains in very nice cosmetic condition for its age.

The UREI 1176LN is one of the most iconic FET compressors ever built, renowned for its lightning-fast attack, unmistakable punch, and musical character. It has been used on countless classic recordings and continues to be a benchmark compressor in the world's finest recording and mastering studios.
