Pair of WA76 Compressors 

The WA76 Discrete Compressor is a modern reproduction of the Classic '76 Revision D. The WA76 has a fully discrete signal path and uses the original Reichenbach Engineering's (now CineMag) transformer design. The classic '76 was a major breakthrough in limiter technology, and used on hundreds of hit records since its inception. Engineers have craved the ultra-fast attack time and trademark sound of the '76 for decades, and now it is finally affordable!

Product Overview
The Warm Audio WA76 is a budget-minded compressor/limiter which borrows heavily from the design of the Urei / Universal Audio 1176LN Rev D.

The WA76 uses Cinemag transformers for both input and output. Compared to the UA 1176LN which it models, the WA76 features center detents for attack and release, mechanically detented input gain control, and a rear-panel pad. Modern manufacturing techniques, overseas suppliers, and a line-lump power supply bring the cost down.
