About this listing
The Universal Audio 6176 combines two very iconic recording circuits designed into a single professional channel strip: the legendary 610B all-tube microphone preamplifier and the classic 1176LN FET compressor. Serial number 134, early factory-built.The 610 preamp traces its heritage back to Bill Putnam Sr.'s original Universal Audio recording consoles, used on countless classic recordings throughout the 1960s and beyond. It delivers the rich harmonic character, smooth saturation and musical response that made the original modules famous.Following the preamp is the renowned 1176LN compressor. Fast, punchy and incredibly versatile, it remains one of the industry's most sought-after compressors for vocals, bass, guitars, drums and virtually any source requiring musical dynamic control. With variable attack and release, selectable ratios including the famous "All Buttons In" mode, and the ability to split the preamp and compressor into independent processors, the 6176 is an exceptionally flexible studio tool.Whether you're looking for classic tube warmth, aggressive FET compression, or both together, the 6176 delivers the unmistakable Universal Audio sound that has become a studio standard worldwide.FeaturesGenuine Universal Audio 6176 channel strip610B all-tube microphone preamplifier1176LN FET limiting amplifierVariable input impedanceSwitchable high- and low-frequency shelving EQVariable attack and releaseClassic 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1 and "All Buttons" compression ratiosSplit mode allowing independent use of preamp and compressorFront-panel Hi-Z instrument inputBalanced XLR microphone, line input and output connectionsInternal universal power supply (115V / 230V)ConditionThis unit is fully functional and performs exactly as it should.Cosmetically it is in good condition with normal signs of professional studio use.
