Built by the same audiophiles who design BAE Audio's hand-wired studio equipment, the UK Sound 176 compressor emulates intuitive features of the original 1176, as well as the renowned brightness, presence and energy the compressor imparts on the sound - even at its most transparent settings - at an affordable price point, removing an economic barrier-to-entry for engineers, mixers, and musicians looking to upgrade their studio arsenal with classic compression quality.
