Aprašymas
The single-channel WA76-A from Warm Audio faithfully recreates the 76 Blue Stripe vintage compressor revered by engineers and producers for its gritty preamp stage and warm analog character. Used by artists including Jack White, The Beatles, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, and countless others, the original compressor is known for its fast attack, powerful dynamic control, and analog saturation.

With this 2 RU rackmount unit, the amount of compression applied to the signal is determined by the amount of input dialed in—the more input you add, the more compression you get. There are 4 buttons, allowing you to set the compression ratio at 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, or 20:1. Pressing all the buttons at once gives you an overdriven, hard-limited sound. The meters can be switched from gain reduction to +4 and +8 output levels, making it easier to adjust the input and output knobs for an appropriate level. Attack and release controls allow you to tailor how quickly the compression kicks in and dies off. Warm Audio added a few modern touches for today's workflows, including an input impedance attenuator, bypass switch, wet/dry mix control for parallel compression, external side-chain input with high-pass filtering, and a link function.

 

Classic Studio Compression with True Analog Grit and Modern Additions

Not only does the WA76-A painstakingly reproduce the vintage sound of the 76 Blue Stripe–style FET studio compressor, it offers added features to meet modern recording workflows. Recreating the lauded original vintage Blue Stripe version of the 76 compressor known for its extra grabby fast attack and vintage analog grit, the WA76-A offers the ideal blend of vintage circuitry and modern controls to deliver ultimate flexibility without sacrificing vintage analog character.

With its vintage circuit design the WA76-A has all of the traditional 76-style compression controls; attack, release, ratio, input, output, and meter display. In addition to the classic controls expected on a 76-style compressor, the WA76-A is a stereo unit and has dry/wet mix for parallel compression, selectable input impedance, active and true bypass, and variable side-chain high-pass filtering, to tackle unruly bass that dominates the compressor's attention.

 

Premium Components and Accurate Blue Stripe-Style Circuitry

The WA76-A uses premium poly film capacitors, carbon resistors, and a vintage-voiced preamp stage. These key components complete a circuit that cuts no corners in delivering an authentic vintage 76-style Blue Stripe–style compression experience.

Just like in the vintage 76-style compressors from revisions A to D, the WA76-A uses custom, large-core, CineMag input and output transformers. The transformers inside the WA76-A use the exact same spec data and materials (nickel and steel) used by Reichenbach Engineering in the original vintage designs, known for delivering vintage analog grit to any signal chain.

Like all Warm Audio gear, the WA76-A is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX, USA.
