Output metering (as opposed to GR) will introduce additional distortion. The front-panel meter will indicate GR (Gain Reduction) or output level at either +4 or +8 dBm. As the input level is turned up, a corresponding decrease in output level may be required. Known for its super-fast attack time and colorful tone, this iconic compressor has been used on countless hit records over the last 50 years. The input knob controls the threshold, but the threshold is also dependent on the ratio selected - the higher the ratio, the higher the threshold. Slate Digital FG-1 is arguably one of the most popular compressors of all time. 5% THD - as much gain as some mic preamps, and far more than most compressors. The 1176 also offers a whopping 45 dB of gain at. By turning the Attack knob fully counterclockwise to the OFF position, the unit can be used as a straight line amp just for its unique sound.

By enclosing the negative feedback of the output amplifier, its non-linearities were compensated and corrected for, producing very low output distortion.īecause of the input and output transformers, and the Class A output circuitry, the 1176 has a very distinctive sound even when it is not compressing. The output transformer is an integral part of the sound of the 1176, balancing the impedance matching for the output. The output stage is an all-Class A line level amplifier, designed to drive the 1960s standard load of 600 ohms. In addition, we have a library of Owner’s Manuals and Support Documents that you can download and reference.For minimal distortion, careful circuit design was required to make the FET operate within a narrow linear range.

You can get Stuffit Expander from the following link: You can get WinZip from the following link: If you do not have WinZip (PC) or Stuffit Expander (Mac) installed, then you must download it, install it, and extract/unzip the update files folder before you can complete the update procedure. When you double-click on the downloaded file that you saved to your computer, WinZip or Stuffit Expander should startup automatically. You can do this by using the WinZip application on your PC running Windows XP, or by using Stuffit Expander on your Macintosh running Mac OS X (10.3.x) or above.

These files will need to be extracted from the zip file before you can burn them to a CD. The update files that you download and save to your computer from the link above are enclosed in a compressed zip file. Please read the NOTE below, as well as the "README!!InstallingPlug-InUpdates.pdf" included in the download folder for the update instructions. This is the latest update of the UA 1176 Compressor Plugin for Legacy VS recorders (VS-1680/1880/1824CD).
