Universal Audio 1176AE Anniversary Edition #455/500 Excellent Condition

For sale is my Universal Audio 1176AE Anniversary Edition, serial number 455 of only 500 units produced worldwide.

Released to celebrate Universal Audio's 50th Anniversary, the 1176AE is regarded as one of the most desirable modern versions of the legendary 1176, adding the exclusive 2:1 compression ratio alongside the classic 4:1, 8:1 and 20:1 settings.

This example has been carefully owned in a smoke-free professional studio and has seen very little use. It is fully functional and presents extremely well.

It also comes complete with the original numbered Anniversary certificate, operating manual and original IEC mains power cable.

Included

✔ Universal Audio 1176AE Anniversary Edition

✔ Original Anniversary Certificate (Serial No. 455/500)

✔ Original Operating Instructions

✔ Original IEC Power Cable

Condition

• Excellent working condition

• Excellent cosmetic condition

• Smoke-free studio ownership

• Very little use

• Front panel is exceptionally clean

• Controls operate smoothly

• Meter functions perfectly

• Only very light cosmetic marks on the top cover consistent with careful studio ownership (please see photographs)

Why buy the AE?

Unlike the standard 1176LN, the Anniversary Edition includes the additional 2:1 compression ratio, making it particularly well suited to:

• Vocals

• Mix Bus

• Acoustic instruments

• Bass

• Mastering-style compression

while still delivering the classic fast FET compression the 1176 is famous for.

Only 500 Anniversary Editions were produced, making these increasingly difficult to find, particularly complete with the original numbered documentation.

Shipping

The compressor will be professionally packed using heavy-duty packaging with generous protective padding and shipped fully insured.

Collection from West London is very welcome.

I am also happy to personally deliver within a reasonable distance where practical. For longer distances I may be able to deliver for a small additional fee—please get in touch before purchasing to discuss.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for looking.
