The 1176-KT was designed as an homage to the classic 1176LN D and E Versions.
The completely discrete signal path was modernized using hand-selected components and custom-engineered MIDAS input and output transformers - for an even better sonic performance.
Great Results paired with an Easy Operation
The compression ratio is selected by pushing any, or all, of the Ratio buttons located to the left of VU meter. Ratios available are: 4:1 for moderate compression; 8:1 for severe compression; 12:1 ratio for mild limiting; and 20:1 for hard limiting. Of course the Classic "All-Button" mode is also included ! ! Especially effective when applied to drums, bass, guitar, and room mics - or for more aggressive "in your face" vocals.
Attack & Release
1176-KT's Attack knob adjusts the amount of time it takes the compressor to respond to audio that exceeds the threshold. The response time is slower at the fully counterclockwise position and faster when turned clockwise. The Release knob adjusts how long the compressor remains engaged after the incoming audio falls below the threshold. The response time is also slower at the fully counterclockwise position and faster when adjusted clockwise.
Vintage Style VU Meter
In keeping with the design of the original processor, the 1176-KT features an illuminated, vintage-style VU meter for visual confirmation of gain reduction (GR) and output levels. A meter reading of 0 corresponds to an output level of +4, +6 or +8.
