FET compressors have been an essential tool in recording studios for over 50 years. Its distinctive sound and reliability have made it a go-to for producers and engineers around the world. The 76-style FET compressor has left its mark on countless hit records which has helped to establish its reputation as a reliable and versatile tool in the recording technology. WesAudio has created a whole new level of versatility with seamless DAW integratio. The ng76 , a fully analog FET compressor with digital recall.

 

ANALOG SOUND, DIGITAL CONTROL

 

100% Analog FET Compressor

The ng76 is a 100% analog processing unit with 24dBu of headroom.  Regardless of its full digital control, the analog signal path provides the lightning speed compression sound we all know from countless records.

 

True Stereo Operation

Two ng76 mono compressors can be linked using a dedicated software that allows the compression detectors to be linked for true stereo compression, or dual mono compression with all parameters linked. In order to accomplish this, all stereo matched pairs of the ng76 include a specialized cable needed for the task. 

 

MIX Knob for Parallel Compression

We all know FET style compression to be lightning fast, punchy and aggressive. The mix knob for parallel compression allows for varing amounts sonic flavor as well as saturation mode to be dialed in. 

 

THD – Total Harmonic Distortion

Total harmonic distortion button which allows You to dial in additional sonic content in Low or High settings. This design is fully based on the FET circuit and allows us to choose how saturated Your compression becomes.

 

Carnhill Transformers

Transformers in audio compressors aren’t just for electrical isolation – they can add a warm, sonic saturation we all love in our recordings. Carnhill transformers are part of the ng76 adding all that vintage flavor!

 

Saturation Mode

Special mode where static compression is triggered to produce sonics based on FET circuit, and One knob which sets INPUT and OUTPUT in an opposite way. It allows the use of the unit as a saturation box / clipper. The harder the drive will hit the compression and saturation circuit, the more sonic content we will get!

 

Modern and Vintage Modes to Support Two 1176 Revisions (F & G)

Vintage – Transformer balanced input
Modern – Electronically balanced input

 

Sophisticated Side Chain Circuit EQ with Two Independent Sections

HPF 60 hz / 90 Hz / 150 Hz – to maintain low end information while compressing,

High Shelf of 2kHz / 5kHz, 10kHz – to tame high frequencies by emphasizing high/hid mids content.

 

Hardware A/B buttons for Comparing Independent Settings

Even using ng76 as a pure analog signal processor you can easily switch between two parallel settings with the magic of a simple button.

 

USB or Ethernet Connectivity

ng76 supports direct USB connection, or you can also managed it in your local network, just plug in ethernet cable to Your router!

 

Gain reduction, input and output metering!

The ng76 is armed with the classic vintage gain reduction meter we all (heads)

wrekonize! To ensure a high level of usability, it also visualizes very precise input and output levels at the same time!

 

Analog Automation

I’m sure all of us wanted to use different device settings based on the song section. Now it is possible! Just draw automation lines in your DAW and your analog device will follow. And remember, you can use five touch sensitive encoders to record automation to your DAW!

 

Total Recall and Plugin Control

Included with this classic analog compressor is one of the most demanded features in the audio industry – Total Recall. Full plugin control through VST2/VST3/AU/AAX/AAX DSP – makes the ng76 compatible with most, if not all major DAWs. Total integration with your beloved DAW will change your workflow forever!
