Timeless Sound, Modern Precision

The Warm Audio WA76 Discrete Compressor is a modern reproduction of the classic '76 revision D. The WA76 features a fully discrete signal path and utilises the original Reichenbach Engineering's - now CineMag - transformer design. Its renowned attack time and characteristic sound have been utilised on countless hit records throughout history. Now, with the WA76, you can achieve that same signature sound in your own productions.

The WA76 comes complete with an affordable price tag and comprehensive features, such as a class A line-level output amplifier, XLR and TRS inputs/outputs, a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response and up to 50dB of gain.
