'73-style preamps have been massively used in recording and live applications for many years and are still considered to be the “Holy Grail” of preamp choices today. The Warm Audio “WA73 Family” consists of single and dual channel '73-style preamps (with \u0026amp; without EQ), that each pay careful homage to British audio history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we at Warm Audio decided to release the WA73 it was imperative that it met vintage expectation in both design and performance. The tone and sweet character that vintage '73-style mic preamps impart is so unique and familiar, that we had only the pure desire to release sonically accurate reproductions. After years of R\u0026amp;D, careful reverse-engineering, and countless hours of auditioning, the WA73 was born!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA73 is a “Desert Island” boutique preamp, but it can also be classified as a studio and live work-horse. Classic '73-style preamps are known for being versatile tools that work with all kinds of microphones from Condenser, to Dynamic, to Ribbon. The WA73 equally shines on all types of microphones and sources including; vocals, acoustic\/electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through. With 80dB of gain and a fully discrete Carnhill Transformer balanced signal path, there’s no recording, mixing or engineering task that the WA73 can’t handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUK Custom Carnhill Transformers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnthusiasts unequivocally get excited about the components used in classic '73-style British preamps. The signal transformers are a common topic of conversation. Vintage units used various versions of transformers throughout the years, but the most coveted were the earliest versions. These are regarded as the most desirable choice due to their fluid and forgiving nature. They saturate sweetly when pushed, and have been known to make engineers cry when they hear how beautiful their mixes sound through them!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm Audio worked closely with Carnhill Transformers of Cambridgeshire, UK, to design faithful reproductions of these most coveted, early version transformers.

'73-style preamps have been massively used in recording and live applications for many years and are still considered to be the “Holy Grail” of preamp choices today. The Warm Audio “WA73 Family” consists of single and dual channel '73-style preamps (with \u0026amp; w\/out EQ), that each pay careful homage to British audio history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we at Warm Audio decided to release the WA273 it was imperative that it met vintage expectation in both design and performance. The tone and sweet character that vintage '73-style mic preamps impart is so unique and familiar, that we had only the pure desire to release sonically accurate reproductions. After years of R\u0026amp;D, careful reverse-engineering, and countless hours of auditioning, the WA273 was born!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA273 is a “Desert Island” boutique preamp, but it can also be classified as a studio and live work-horse. Classic '73-style preamps are known for being versatile tools that work with all kinds of microphones from Condenser, to Dynamic, to Ribbon. The WA273 equally shines on all types of microphones and sources including; vocals, acoustic\/electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, orchestras, keyboards, and even as a tone shaping tool to run partial or complete mixes through. With 80dB of gain and a fully discrete Carnhill Transformer balanced signal path, there’s no recording, mixing or engineering task that the WA273 can’t handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-18 x-container max width marginless-columns\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-x-params='{\"fade\":true}' data-x-element=\"column\" data-fade=\"1\" class=\"e27-19 x-column x-sm x-1-1\"\u003e\u003chr class=\"e27-21 x-line\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-22 x-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-23 x-container max width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-24 x-column x-sm x-1-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-25 x-text x-text-headline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eUK Custom Carnhill Transformers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-26 x-container max width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-27 x-column x-sm x-2-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e27-28 x-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnthusiasts unequivocally get excited about the components used in classic '73-style British preamps. The signal transformers are a common topic of conversation. Vintage units used various versions of transformers throughout the years, but the most coveted were the earliest versions. These are regarded as the most desirable choice due to their fluid and forgiving nature. They saturate sweetly when pushed, and have been known to make engineers cry when they hear how beautiful their mixes sound through them!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm Audio worked closely with Carnhill Transformers of Cambridgeshire, UK, to design faithful reproductions of these most coveted, early version transformers.

Each channel boasts three tubes that, with the high-gain switch engaged, bring the WA-MPX up to an incredible 90dB of gain. Each channel has custom-wound, large-core CineMag transformers on the inputs and outputs - bringing each preamp circuit to 300v. WA-MPX pres are housed in steel chassis with a brushed aluminum faceplate, vintage-style bakelite knobs, and amber-tinted VU meters. All of these key components paired with traditional build technique deliver not only a legendary “tape-era” tube pre but one of the best values in an all-tube microphone preamp on the market today. Following the Warm Formula of true-to-original tone driven by premium components, all WA-MPX are carefully hand-inspected \u0026amp; tested at Warm Audio Headquarters in Austin, Texas.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-section e17721-e29 mdo9-0 mdo9-1 mdo9-2 mdo9-4 mdo9-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bg=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wampx-cinemag.jpg\" class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image rocket-lazyload entered lazyloaded\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-container max width e17721-e30 mdo9-f mdo9-g mdo9-h\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e17721-e31 mdo9-l\"\u003e\u003chr class=\"x-line e17721-e32 mdo9-1v mdo9-1w\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-section e17721-e33 mdo9-0 mdo9-1 mdo9-4 mdo9-5 mdo9-7 mdo9-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-container max width e17721-e34 mdo9-f mdo9-g mdo9-h\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e17721-e35 mdo9-l\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-text-headline e17721-e36 mdo9-11 mdo9-12 mdo9-13 mdo9-14 mdo9-15 mdo9-16 mdo9-17\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eA Tube-Based Tone-Shaping Workstation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-content e17721-e37 mdo9-1l mdo9-1m mdo9-1n mdo9-1o mdo9-1p mdo9-1q\"\u003eAs a premium tube mic pre, WA-MPX delivers a wide range of analog tone; from clean volume with preserved clarity for quieter sources to richer distortion that can be driven harder as the tubes are pushed to saturation. The WA-MPX sports a set of critical controls that meet the demands of everyday professional audio use including input impedance switching, +48v, polarity inversion, and input\/output gain. In addition to the 80Hz hi-pass filter that can help tame unwanted bass frequencies, the WA-MPX also houses a 2kHz low-pass filter to shave off excess highs for a more vintage tone profile. The classic Warm Audio “tone” control alters the input transformer impedance for extra analog color. A “high gain” control engages an extra 20dB of tube gain to take the WA-MPX all the way to 90dB - very useful on lower output dynamic and ribbon mics. Finally, the Tape Saturation control on the WA-MPX engages a discrete circuit in the signal path adding natural compression, harmonic distortion, and focused tone filtering to emulate the sound of tape machines running at 15IPS, adding just enough imperfection to the signal, especially when used on program material for mixing and mastering.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-content e17721-e38 mdo9-1l mdo9-1m mdo9-1n mdo9-1o mdo9-1p mdo9-1q\"\u003eThe WA-MPX is far more than just a pre with the vibe of analog tape, it's a perfectly adaptable and extremely powerful tube mic preamp.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-section e17721-e39 mdo9-0 mdo9-1 mdo9-2 mdo9-4 mdo9-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-container e17721-e40 mdo9-f mdo9-g mdo9-h mdo9-i\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e17721-e41 mdo9-l mdo9-m mdo9-n\" data-fade=\"1\" data-x-element=\"column\" data-x-params='{\"fade\":true}'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-section e17721-e43 mdo9-1 mdo9-2 mdo9-5 mdo9-9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-row x-container max width e17721-e44 mdo9-p mdo9-r mdo9-t mdo9-u\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-row-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-col e17721-e45 mdo9-y mdo9-z\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-text-headline e17721-e46 mdo9-11 mdo9-13 mdo9-15 mdo9-16 mdo9-17 mdo9-18 mdo9-19 mdo9-1a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003ePremium Components - Elite Build Quality - Superior Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-container max width e17721-e47 mdo9-g mdo9-h mdo9-j\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2 e17721-e48 mdo9-l\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-text-headline e17721-e49 mdo9-11 mdo9-12 mdo9-13 mdo9-14 mdo9-16 mdo9-17 mdo9-1b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003ePremium 12AX7 \u0026amp; 12AU7 Vacuum Tubes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"trigger-1\" class=\"x-text x-content e17721-e50 mdo9-1l mdo9-1n mdo9-1o mdo9-1p mdo9-1r shape-trigger\"\u003eUsing three premium vacuum tubes, two 12AX7s \u0026amp; one 12AU7 per channel, the WA-MPX delivers both high headroom and harmonically-rich vintage analog tone only found in the most unattainable tube microphone preamps on the market.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2 e17721-e51 mdo9-l\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-text-headline e17721-e52 mdo9-11 mdo9-12 mdo9-13 mdo9-14 mdo9-16 mdo9-17 mdo9-1b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eAmerican-Made Transformer From CineMag\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text x-content e17721-e53 mdo9-1l mdo9-1n mdo9-1o mdo9-1p mdo9-1r shape-trigger\"\u003eThe history of CineMag transformers goes all the way back to the 1940s with connections to some of the most sought-after audio equipment of the last century.

Once the measurement process is complete, the correction filters are transferred to the ARC Studio hardware for latency-free correction. From now on, the unit works completely stand-alone, while still letting you switch between monitors and presets. And with updateable firmware, ARC Studio offers a future-proof solution that will work for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-bit A\/D\/D\/A conversion with 96kHz internal sampling rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperb analog audio quality ESS high-end converters to deliver \u0026gt;120 dB dynamic range, ultra-low THD and jitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C connection to transfer filters and presets (can be left connected or unplugged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio-grade balanced XLR audio I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor every kind of studio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful stand-alone correction solution suitable for every audio production environment, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Radio\/TV broadcast studios - easily audition how audio will sound on multiple systems, even live\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Video production - full range correction is ideal for mixing dialog, music and sound FX • Content creation rigs - powerful enough to correct even fully-untreated or make-shift studio spaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• DAW-based studios - a set and forget hardware solution that doesn't affect CPU usage and doesn’t need to be bypassed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pro Tools HDX-based studios - preserves zero-latency monitoring setups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Console-based studios - apply correction even when mixing outside the box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake everything under control and speed up your workflow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARC Studio connects via USB-c to your computer to let you quickly and easily control directly from your desktop all the features of the ARC Studio Hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Swap between different X-Monitor virtual monitorings profiles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Adjust the sweet spot for clients or different setups, choosing between measurements of multiple monitors and listening positions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Turn ON\/OFF the room correction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Select Natural or Linear phase modes to ensure precise stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Define both upper and lower frequency correction ranges separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Adjust the resolution of the correction filter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ik Multimedia","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":47496560738582,"sku":"IP-ARC-STUDIO-IN","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1475\/9390\/files\/IP-ARC-STUDIO-INPACK.jpg?v=1708695679"},{"product_id":"warm-audio-wa76-a-vintage-voiced-discrete-fet-compressor","title":"Warm Audio WA76-A Vintage-voiced Discrete FET Compressor","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModern Incarnation of the Iconic “Blue Stripe” ’76 Compressor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Warm Audio WA76-A nails the performance, behavior, and vintage analog sound of the renowned “Blue Stripe” ’76 — the A revision of the most famous solid-state limiting amplifier ever made.

The WA76-D’s sidechain insert adds impressive flexibility to a legendary design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-channel clean-gain discrete FET compressor\/limiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-creation of the iconic D-Rev ’76 with added recording features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% analog discrete audio circuit path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600Ω input impedance attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 10kΩ input impedance to match modern audio interface specs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A line-level output amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom original-spec, large-core CineMag USA input and output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, metal film resistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the infamous all-buttons-in ratio setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable dry\/wet blend control for easy parallel processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and TRS inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable sidechain highpass filter: 30–300Hz, 12dB\/octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-in. stereo link and external sidechain access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive bypass for running unit as a line amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue bypass for instant A\/B comparisons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-spec attack and release times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack: 20–800μs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease: 50ms to 1s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVU meter switchable for GR, +8 output, +4 output, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49650869010710,"sku":"WA76-D","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1475\/9390\/files\/WarmAudioWA76DDiscreteFETCompressorLimiter.webp?v=1736962033"},{"product_id":"warm-audio-wa76-d2-dual-channel-discrete-fet-compressor-limiter","title":"Warm Audio WA76-D2 Dual-channel Discrete FET Compressor\/Limiter","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDual-channel Incarnation of the Iconic D-Rev ’76 Compressor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Warm Audio WA76-D2 nails the performance, behavior, and vintage analog sound of the most famous solid-state limiting amplifier ever made — the renowned “D” revision of the iconic ’76. Like the revered classic, each channel of the Warm Audio WA76-D2 features a completely discrete signal path and the same controls. And yes — it replicates the original’s explosive performance when all the ratio buttons are pressed in. But the WA76-D2 is much more than a clone; its added recording features make it a versatile compressor\/limiter for modern studio workflows. Warm Audio doesn’t cut corners on components, but they do order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down and delivers amazing value. The WA76-D2 is assembled with top-drawer components, including premium resistors and poly film capacitors, as well as custom original-spec, large-core CineMag USA input and output transformers. And like all Warm Audio gear, the WA76-D2 is rigorously inspected and hand tested by experienced technicians in Austin, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFast, masterful dynamics control plus vintage analog character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoveted for its lightning-fast dynamic control, high headroom, and sumptuous analog tonality, the lauded ’76 is the undisputed king of FET compression. Today, original vintage units are ensconced in world-class studios across the globe. The last revision of this 1970s classic, in particular, was celebrated for its low-noise preamp stage and distinctively analog sonics. It’s this D revision that Warm Audio targeted for the design of the WA76-D2. All the original controls are onboard — along with additional features that address modern recording workflows. As such, the WA76-D2 delivers the ultimate combination of vintage circuitry and state-of-the-art controls to provide versatility without impinging on vintage analog character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional controls for modern recording workflows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings get particularly interesting with Warm Audio’s control additions. The WA76-D2 features selectable input impedance, dry\/wet mix blending for parallel compression, active and true bypass, and a variable sidechain highpass filter that eliminates the influence of low frequencies below your dialed-in threshold on compression action. These extra controls are seamlessly integrated into a logically rearranged front-panel layout to accommodate the two-channel format while maintaining the elegant simplicity of the single-channel vintage units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle id=\"desc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-channel clean-gain discrete FET compressor\/limiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-creation of the iconic D-Rev ’76 with added recording features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% analog discrete audio circuit path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600Ω input impedance attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 10kΩ input impedance to match modern audio interface specs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A line-level output amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom original-spec, large-core CineMag USA input and output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, metal film resistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the infamous all-buttons-in ratio setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable dry\/wet blend control for easy parallel processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and TRS inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable sidechain highpass filter: 30–300Hz, 12dB\/octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive bypass for running unit as a line amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue bypass for instant A\/B comparisons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-spec attack and release times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack: 20–800μs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease: 50ms to 1s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVU meter switchable for GR, +8 output, +4 output, and unit off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20Hz–20kHz (±1dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 92dB (A-Weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal amplifier gain: 53dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: -67dB (at -6dBu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2U, 19-in. rackmount chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal 100-230V universal power supply, IEC inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspected and hand tested by experienced technicians in Austin, Texas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: FET Compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Channels: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Attack, Release, Dry-Wet Mix, Ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 2 x XLR, 2 x 1\/4\" TRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 2 x XLR, 2 x 1\/4\" TRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack Spaces: 2U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Source: Standard IEC AC cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 3.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 19\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49650869141782,"sku":"WA76-D2","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1475\/9390\/files\/WarmAudioWA76D2DualchannelDiscreteFETCompressorLimiter.webp?v=1736962526"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1475\/9390\/collections\/STUDIO_STUDIO_OUTBOARDGEAR.jpg?v=1775853730","url":"https:\/\/www.micheomusic.com\/collections\/studio-sale-studio-outboardgear.oembed","provider":"Micheo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
