Warm AudioWA76-D2 Clean Gain Dual Compressor

Warm Audio WA76-D2

The WA76-D2 from Warm Audio is a dual-channel clean gain compressor that models the classic sound of an 1176 Rev-D compressor, delivering fast dynamic response with a rich and balanced analog character. The Rev-D contrasts from earlier editions of the 1176 with a noise reduction circuit that provides a pristine signal without sacrificing the warm analog coloration that made this compressor an industry standard. Just like the original, the WA76-D2 is built with custom CineMag transformers and premium discrete components, bringing an authentic Rev-D sound to any signal it touches.

Dial in your dynamics on drum overheads, mix busses, and more with classic controls from the original design for attack, release, input and output level, and ratio, with a VU meter keeping track of your signal's response as you tweak settings. Engage all ratio mode buttons simultaneously for the legendary "all-buttons" sound, creating aggressive hard-limiting that imparts dramatic coloration to your audio. Warm Audio has added in additional features to streamline integration into modern workflows and techniques, with dry/wet mix for parallel compression, a sidechain input, and a sidechain high pass filter to control low end rumble.

The WA76-D is a classic compressor with plenty of analog sauce and a pristine sound quality built for modern music. Hear the sound that has inspired studio legends like Timbaland, Rick Rubin, Daft Punk, and more, now more accessible than ever in the WA76-D2 from Warm Audio.
