Universal Audio 2-1176 Solid State Dual Compressor (Used)
The design of the 2-1176 builds upon the success of the 6176 Channel Strip by Universal Audio, incorporating two channels of the classic 1176 compressor in one unit, ensuring no compromise on quality or components. It features stereo-matched capabilities for enhanced performance.
Reintroducing this iconic sound to your equipment setup, the 2-1176 doubles the tone, character, and compression, all at a remarkable price and occupying only half the rack space. As with all Universal Audio products, it maintains the signature sound of its predecessor and offers seamless switching between dual mono and stereo link operation. And yes, it still offers the famous All-Button mode!
