Warm Audio Wa76-A
The WA76-A is a meticulously crafted recreation of the iconic "blue stripe" 76-style FET studio compressor, known for its fast attack and old-school analog grit. It blends classic studio compression with modern enhancements to meet today's recording needs, delivering the same "grabby", fast attack so revered in the original units. With traditional 76-style controls—attack, release, ratio, input, and output—the WA76-A also adds modern features like stereo linking, a dry/wet mix for parallel compression, an external sidechain, active & true bypass, and a variable high-pass filter to handle overpowering bass frequencies.Equipped with custom CineMag transformers that mirror the original Reichenbach Engineering designs, this compressor brings vintage analog charm to Warm up your signal chain. Built with premium components such as poly film capacitors and carbon resistors, the WA76-A ensures an authentic blue stripe-style compression experience. Each unit is hand-tested and inspected by Warm Audio's dedicated team in Austin, TX, guaranteeing superior quality and performance.Warm Audio WA76-A ApplicationsAdd Analog Grit & Dynamic Control To Vocals Perfect Drum Room/Overhead Mic Compression With Harmonic OvertonesTight Acoustic Guitar Rhythms For Dense Track CountsDynamic Control For Heavy Electric GuitarsWarm Audio WA76-A Features100% Analog Discrete FET CompressorFaithful Recreation Of The Vintage “Blue Stripe” FET Compressor With Added Recording FeaturesVU Meter Options: Gain Reduction +8dB Output +4dB Output “Off” Powers off unit100-230v IEC Inlet Universal Power SupplyClass-A Line-Level Output Amplifier100% Discrete Audio Signal Path Using 600Ω Input Impedance AttenuatorSelectable 10kΩ Input Impedance To Better Match Modern Audio Interface Specifications100% Dry-Wet Mix ControlVariable Sidechain High Pass Filter: 30 - 300Hz, 12dB/Octave ¼” Stereo Link & External Sidechain AccessActive Bypass For Running Unit As Line Amplifier & True Bypass Option For A/B Comparisons2U 19″ Rackmount ChassisUtilizes Premium O-12 Input & 5002 Output Transformers From CineMag USAVintage-Spec Attack & Release: Attack = 20 µS - 800 Release: 50 mS - 1.1 Second“All-Buttons-In” Setting For Experimental & Hard-Limiter TonesFrequency Response: ± 1 dB 20 Hz - 20 kHzBalanced XLR & TRS Inputs & OutputsTotal Amplifier Gain: 58dB Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR): 84dBTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD): -58dB (at -18dBu) Warm Audio WA76-A Single-Channel Vintage-Voiced Discrete FET Compressor.
