Wes Audio NG76 (Stereo Pair)

Wes Audio continue to grow their offering of digitally recallable & controllable hardware units with the new ng76, their take on the legendary 1176! Main Features 100% analog FET compressor - ng76 is a 100% analog processing unit with 24dBu of headroom. Regardless of its full digital control, the analog signal path provides lightning speed compression sound we all know from countless records. True stereo operation: 2 x ng76 mono compressors can be linked via dedicated software. It allows linking compression detectors (with special cables included with stereo matched pairs) for true stereo compression, or dual mono compression with all parameters linked. MIX knob for parallel compression - We all know FET style compression to be lightning fast, punchy, and aggressive. The mix knob for parallel compression allows us to dial in the amount of this sonic flavour we want! THD - total harmonic distortion - Total harmonic distortion button which allows You to dial in additional sonic content in Low or High settings. This design is fully based on the FET circuit and allows us to choose how saturated Your compression becomes. Carnhill transformers - Transformers in audio compressors aren't just for electrical isolation – they can add a warm, sonic saturation we all love in our recordings. Carnhill transformers are part of the ng76 adding all that vintage flavour! Saturation mode - Special mode where static compression is triggered to produce sonics based on FET circuit, and One knob which sets INPUT and OUTPUT in an opposite way. It allows the use of the unit as a saturation box / clipper. The harder the drive will hit the compression and saturation circuit, the more sonic content we will get! Selectable Input stage - Modern and Vintage modes to support two 1176 revisions (F & G): a. Vintage - transformer balanced input b. Modern - Electronically balanced input. Side Chain EQ sections - Sophisticated side chain circuit EQ with two independent sections: a. HPF 60 hz / 90 Hz / 150 Hz - to maintain low end information while compressing b. High Shelf of 2kHz / 5kHz, 10kHz - to tame high frequencies by emphasising high/hid mids content. Hardware A/B buttons to compare two independent settings. a. Even using ng76 as a pure analog signal processor you can easily switch between two parallel settings with the magic of a simple button. USB or Ethernet Connectivity Gain reduction, input and output metering - ng76 is armed with classic Vintage Gain Reduction meter we all recognise and know. To provide a high level of usability, it also visualises very precise input and output levels at the same time! Automation - Just draw automation lines in your DAW and your analog device will follow! And remember, you can use five touch sensitive encoders to record automation TO your DAW!
