Test: Warm Audio WA76-A2 hardware compressor

The Warm Audio WA76-A2, without its name, does not work very well, a replica of the 1176 compressors. This company is one of the emblematic companies in our sector. Warum Warm Audio has another variation of this high technology, but copied several times by compressors on the market, we suggest you test them in this review.

Was it the Warm Audio WA76-A compatible?

Well, as I did, a new variation of the 1176s comes to mind: Wozu? It should be noted that there are no instructions in all prices. All revisions, Urei’s original as I said, will be more or less copied. We should not talk about the new emulations, which can be found on the festival platform as well as on the plug-ins. But I also have the specs for the new incarnation of Warm Audio that have helped me do some amazing, new things. So this is a true example of a stereo version, the original is immersed in Mono. And other cool features are also available, the device is now universal and more flexible, even if there isn’t one.

Warm Audio WA76-A vs. WA76-D

The Warm Audio WA76-A2 is not available on the market. This is also the single model WA76-A. Before getting into the history of the Blue-Stripe model, this is why the Grundklang were described as such. Parallelly there are two models (Mono and Stereo jewelry) on the market, which are available in Revision-D models but are (WA76-D and WA76-D2). These clothes were older and more modern than the Blue-Stripe variant, which is here for the verification test. If the Blue-Stripe-Model is placed on the blue “Streifen” on the Frontplatte, the optical color is matched with the silvery Hintergrund harmonirt.

Laut Hersteller uses all new models of the original in its cinematic dimensions and also moves towards Attack- and Release-Zeiten angeht, genau am Original. And of course, you have the option to use All Buttons mode with your own templates. We allow you, as you would, to operate with a single modern configuration function, which is natural during this test when you do this test. And here we also offer you the Blue-Stripe variant; The WA76-D has been tested separately on AMAZONA.DE.

Da wohl die meisten Leser wissen, was sich inner dem Kürzel 1176 verbirgt, hier nur ein kurzer Abriss, was this Kompressor so legendary gemacht hat. The 1176 im Original von Urei during the year 1967 was based on a FET school. The “FET” is used for the Feldeffekt transistor and is a Bauteil, the Klang a Röhre imitating thus. The war began and the Urei 1176 declared itself for a period of attack and liberation of the same nature and for a construction of its own will. As with a compressor, compression uses a makeup threshold and gain adjustment to adjust, here, the input and output setting. I am more man than aufdreht input, which will be more compressed. Mit dem Output-Reguler wird dann die Ausgangslautstärke eingestellt. The attack and release hinges must be handled by Neuling im Umgang mit dem 1176 zur Verzweiflung gebracht. Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Conventionen bei anderen Kompressoren ist nämlich die schnellste Attack- and Release-Instellung pas auf Linksanschlag and die langsamste auf Droits, sondern genau umgekehrt. This is what was not intuitive, when a man from another compressor model goes there, but any Fehlversuchen hat man is very poorly prepared.

You can choose from 1176 classics that are free to use Ratio settings, and you can select them using 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 or 20:1 Ratio settings. 4:1 and 8:1 are combined with compression, 12:1 and 20:1 with 1176 for such a powerful limiter. Quick question, I have things to do, but I can also press all the buttons. It is possible to use “All Buttons Mode”, so the operator is not ready to go to war, because it has complex complexes and powerful sounds, which are mainly intended for sound design.

The remaining parameter is a 1176 which is very well tuned. These are two VU meters and several other tastes, with this definition defined, which have been defined by the VU meter. Zur Auswahl Stehen Gain Reduction et Taster pour +8 and +4 dB Output (bei jewels 0 VU) et un Off-Schalter, mit the Gerät ausgeschaltet wird. This is the case of the classic construction of an 1176. Since we do not have the Zusatz features, the Warm Audio of the WA76-A2 was spent. For a natural result, the parameter sets are double, also 2x input, output, attack and release, because it is already a stereo system.

In the following links you will find a link to the following links. This passes through a standard power impedance of 600 Ohm and 10 Kiloohm. The Letztere option is the best solution for Warm Audio, when using a modern audio interface. Additionally, when human is able to use a general signal at the DAW, it must be used with the device and then activated. The standard impedance of 600 Ohm passes a better result, when the device sounds a suitable analog microphone amplifier, equalizer or equalizer. During the next Neuerung, there is a True-Bypass-Schalter, which generates power and organization at the Bearbeitung level. The device is a stereo device, which is as natural as Dual-Mono. This gibt is one of the instructions on the right side of the page. These three selection options are as follows: “Stereo Linked”: Yes, if you choose one channel, your Sidechains are limited to one channel. The higher signal is the better in the direction of the channel. It is therefore a mode which corresponds to “Primary/Secondary”. There are no Sidechain links on the Channels that are available, one of the Compressors is included. And of course a Dual-Mono mode; Here you work with the unabhängig channel and you can get a mono signal, as well as a kick and a snare, when used.

Another interesting feature is the one that was found: The man who settled the attack jumped into the links, created a and the compression company via the bypass. Throw away the Übertrager im Signalweg et lassen sich dazu verwenden, einen Mix or Einzelsignale mithilfe der Übertrager klanglich zu farben. You can find all the right parts that you need to adjust to the mix. Damit können wir the Bearbeitete and the Unbearbeitete Signal stufenlos miteinander mischen and thus ganz einfach a parallelcompression carried out. While the Warm Audio of the WA76-A2 saves a Sidechain filter. Also these last ones are for Kippschalter deactivates. When the pump is activated, it must be switched on and off. And so, wenn man eine ganze Summe komprimieren möchte. In any case, it’s my job here to make intelligent adjustments, the device can now be used more flexibly, and there is no way to do it. The Rückseite bietet neben dem Kaltgerätestecker zur Stromversorgung lediglich Buchsen für Ein- und Ausgang, bijoux als symmetrische Klinke ou wahlweise XLR ausgelegt.

Praxis: What do you think of the Warm Audio WA76-A2?

The next time the packaging falls, the first ones are taken into account, but the results are very high. It is placed in the hand and the front plate on the aluminum plate is high enough. Ebenso die Drehregler, die gut und flüssig laufen. All the Druck- und Kippschalter machen einen hochwertigen Eindruck. I was set up in my tone studio with my MOTU 828 sound card and was able to use the I/O plug-in in Logic Pro. So I agree with you that this is a software plug-in not completed during a quick signal test. In the leisure time, women meet the Warm Audio WA76-A2 during long recording and mixing sessions at full speed. So I have to know that a generation has changed, and that it is now complete with digital tools aufgewachsen and for mich immer etwas Neuland ist, mit Hardware zu arbeiten. You can find a man who is completely confident, the iconic hardware is not so intuitive, but I am a man who is just an example of verification and management, immersed directly in the audio. Aber nach einiger Zeit habe ich this Arbeitsweise really does and will freeze. Das Teil klingt wirklich toll et bietet viele creative Möglichkeiten. I will help you start discussions about hardware or software. I find it quite intuitive, and a very “good” Gerät zu Schrauben and how I have looked at ideas and implementations, which have not been tested with a plugin. The Grundklang offers examples of tests, as for each angeteasert, either an overview or a cantig. Kurz, the perfect tool for rock ‘n’ roll and everyone else, was a real enemy. Naturally, it is also possible to do this and compress it in a simple way, but also to make it work properly, a signal being so rich in an aufzudrücken model.

With an 1176 compressor you can have the principle so that everything is understood. Seine Vorteile plays just for everyone, bass and aus vocals. For the tests of these tests, I managed to carry out only one test attempt, so the man here is often the best at that time, was passed. Zunächst hört ihr a Kickdrum, then a snare drum, then the overheads and then again a Wurst-Microfon, in an unbearable and unique bear. Falls ihr euch jetzt jetzt fragt, was a Wurst-Mikrofon ist, and ann empfehle ich euch das Interview mit Moses Schneider von meinerten Kollegin Sonja hier sur AMAZONA.de.

Kurz gesagt est un Wurst-Mikrofon un zusätzliches Mikrofon, the mittig zwischen Snare, Floor-Tom and Kickdrum positioned with and Moses Schneider immersed as Verzerrer fürs Schlagzeug bezeichnet hat. This is a signal that generates a heavy signal (this is our natural test candidate that generates the most wealth) and is also responsible for the security signal. With the letztes Klangbeispiel it is the complete set, one cleaning and one with the different ears worn. I’m here to help you find a solution. So strong that I’m in a real mix that isn’t bearable or that I’m really dealing with previous ideas. Noch ein paar Hinweise zu den Klangbeispielen. All Spuren are with EQ and teilweise Gate vorbearbeitet. Die mit dem WA76-A2 Bearbeiteten Spuren klingen teils lauter, sind aber, so gut es ging, gleich laut gepegelt. Die höhere empfundene Lautstärke ist der Kompression geschuldet. Das Wurst-Mikrofon war also schon vor der Bearbeitung ziemlich stark verzerrt et gegatet, das habe ich damals absichtlich direct so aufgenommen.
