Classic FET-Style Compression: The 76-KT compressor pays homage to the legendary 1176LN, replicating its distinctive sound characteristics. It closely emulates the iconic D and E revisions while incorporating modern advancements to enhance audio fidelity. This classic compression style provides rich, musical dynamics ideal for vocals, instruments, and various sound sources.
Discrete Signal Path: The compressor features a completely discrete signal path, utilizing hand-selected components for minimal signal degradation. This meticulous design ensures high-quality audio reproduction, allowing for clear and precise sound processing without unwanted coloration. The discrete architecture also contributes to the compressor’s responsiveness and overall performance.
Custom MIDAS Transformers: With custom-built MIDAS input and output transformers, the 76-KT guarantees superior audio quality. These transformers are known for their exceptional sonic characteristics, contributing to a warm, rich sound. They enhance signal integrity, ensuring that the audio remains pristine during processing.
User-Friendly Compression Ratios: The 76-KT provides intuitive control with push-button selection of four compression ratios: 4:1 for moderate compression, 8:1 for severe compression, 12:1 for mild limiting, and 20:1 for hard limiting. This versatility allows sound engineers to easily adapt compression settings to suit different audio sources and desired outcomes.
Fast Attack and Adjustable Release: The compressor features an ultra-fast attack time ranging from 20 to 800 microseconds. This allows it to respond quickly to audio peaks, ensuring precise dynamics control. The adjustable release time, between 80 to 700 milliseconds, further enhances versatility, allowing users to tailor the compressor’s response to various sound sources effectively.
Vintage-Style VU Meter: A vintage-style VU meter adds a nostalgic touch to the 76-KT while providing essential visual feedback. It displays both gain reduction and output levels, making it easy for users to monitor processing levels accurately. The illuminated meter enhances usability, especially in low-light environments.
Rugged Rackmount Design: Built for durability, the 76-KT features a robust 2U rackmount chassis designed to withstand the rigors of live performances. Its sturdy construction ensures that it remains reliable during tours and in demanding environments. The rugged design helps protect the internal components, ensuring longevity.
Transformer-Balanced Inputs and Outputs: The compressor utilizes Neutrik XLR connectors for transformer-balanced inputs and outputs, maintaining high signal integrity. This design minimizes noise and interference, providing clean and clear audio transmission. This feature is especially important in professional audio setups where signal quality is paramount.
Auto-Ranging Universal Power Supply: Equipped with an auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply, the 76-KT is suitable for worldwide use. It automatically adjusts to different voltage levels, ensuring consistent performance regardless of location. This flexibility allows audio professionals to rely on the compressor in various settings around the globe.
