Product Description
The Warm Audio WA76 Discrete Limiting Compressor Amplifier is a modern take on the Classic '76 Revision D. It features a fully discrete signal path and uses the original Reichenbach Engineering's (now CineMag) transformer design. The classic '76 was a game - changer in limiter technology, used on countless hit records. Now, its ultra - fast attack time and trademark sound are finally affordable! This amplifier can reproduce the famous ‘All Buttons In’ mode (also known as ‘British Mode’ or the ‘Four Button Trick’). Just push in all four ratio buttons simultaneously and latch them, though it might take some practice. The resulting compression curve is unique and aggressive, heard on many classic drum tracks. Key features include the use of premium grade input and output CineMag USA transformers, true - to - classic design and performance, a completely discrete signal path, being modeled after the D Revision, and supporting the well - known 'All Buttons In' ratio setting. Technical specs show an ultra - fast attack time, Class A line level output amplifier, 600 - ohm input impedance, great frequency response, XLR and TRS inputs/outputs, 50dB of gain, low distortion, high signal - to - noise ratio, and more.
Using the Warm Audio WA76 Discrete Limiting Compressor Amplifier is quite straightforward. First, connect your audio source to the XLR or TRS inputs. Then, adjust the gain according to your needs. If you want to try the unique ‘All Buttons In’ mode, push in all four ratio buttons at once and get them to latch. It might take a few tries to master this. For the attack and release times, you can set them based on the type of audio you're working with. For example, use a faster attack time for drums. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Make sure to turn it off when not in use. Also, check the power inlet switch is set to the correct voltage (115/230V) before plugging it in. This will help keep your amplifier in good working condition for a long time.
