Faithful 2-Channel Recreation Of The Fastest and Most Powerful "Rev-D" Studio Compressor With Added Recording Features 
The WA76-D2 accurately reproduces 2-channels of one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time known for ultra-fast dynamic control with rich analog tone. Added modern controls to achieve parallel compression, active & true-bypass, and variable sidechain filtering flexibility make the WA76-D2 an ideal choice to balance modern workflows with vintage analog character.

The WA76-D2 accurately reproduces 2-channels of one of the fastest and most loved studio compressors of all time known for its generous headroom, ultra-fast dynamic control, and rich analog tone. Using premium and custom components like O-12 (input) and 5002 (output) transformers from CineMag, WA76-D2 achieves authentic 76 rev-D style compression, known for "low noise" preamp stage with unmistakably analog character. Added modern controls to achieve parallel compression, active & true-bypass, and variable sidechain filtering flexibility make WA76-D2 an ideal choice for modern recording workflows that require vintage tone shaping. WA76-D2 recreates the legendary tone & control of the vintage 76-style compression used in studios by artists like Missy Elliot, Timbaland, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, Daft Punk, and many more.

Classic Studio Compression With Rich Analog Tone:
The WA76-D2 is a faithful recreation of the vintage 76 "D-style" 2-channel FET studio compressor with added features to meet modern recording workflows. Recreating the lauded "D-style" version of the 76 compressor known for its speed, lower noise, and rich analog tone, the WA76-D2 offers the ideal blend of vintage circuitry and modern controls to deliver ultimate flexibility without sacrificing vintage analog character.

Critical Classic Controls + Bonus Modern Add-Ons:
WA76-D2 has all of the traditional 76-style compression controls; attack, release, ratio, input, output, and meter display. In addition to the classic controls expected on a 76-style compressor, WA76-D2 is a stereo unit and has dry/wet mix for parallel compression, selectable input impedance, active & true-bypass, and variable sidechain high-pass filtering to tackle unruly bass that dominates the compressor’s attention.

Custom CineMag Transformers:
Just like in the vintage 76-style compressors from revision "A" to D", the WA76-D2 uses custom large-core, CineMag input & output transformers. The transformers inside the WA76-D2 use the exact same spec data and materials (nickel and steel) used by Reichenbach Engineering in the original vintage designs known for delivering rich analog tone to any signal chain.

Premium Components & Accurate D-style Circuitry:
WA76-D2 uses premium ceramic & electrolytic capacitors, metal film resistors, and a revised preamp stage, improving the linear response of the FET. These key components complete a circuit that cuts no corners in delivering an authentic "cleaner, low noise" 76-style compression experience.

Hand-Tested In Austin, TX:
Like all Warm Audio gear, WA76-D2 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.
