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, high-pass side-chain filtering, and three dual-channel operating modes from which to choose.
Classic Studio Compression with True Analog Grit and Modern Additions
With its vintage circuit design, the WA76-A2 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-A2 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 might otherwise dominate the compressor's attention.
Premium Components and Accurate Blue Stripe-Style Circuitry
Just like in the vintage 76-style compressors from revisions A to D, the WA76-A2 uses custom, large-core, CineMag input and output transformers. The transformers inside the WA76-A2 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-A2 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX, USA.
3 Operational Modes
- Stereo linked: Both channels work independently, but their side-chains are linked. In that case, the loudest channel will dictate bothchannel’s behavior.
- Primary-to-secondary: The left channel’s side-chain only will dictate howboth channels operate.
- Dual-Mono: Each channel operates independently, with all controls operating on program material being sent to its own channel.
