1176 Classic FET Style Limiter
Overview
The original Universal Audio 1176LN designed by
Bill Putnam was a major breakthrough in limiter technology – the first
true peak limiter with all transistor circuitry offering superior
performance and a signature sound. Evolved from the popular Universal
Audio 175 and 176 vacuum tube limiters, the 1176LN retained the proven
qualities of these industry leaders, and set the standard for all
limiters to follow.
Today, the 1176LN is new
again. While it certainly would have been possible – and much simpler –
to modernize and "improve" the 1176LN, every effort was made to remain
faithful to Putnam’s design and intentions. Carefully trained staff
hand-wire and test each unit until it meets our uncompromising
standards. This Universal Audio Classic version of the 1176LN captures
all the nuance of the original through obsessive attention to detail
and delivers that trademark sound.
