Klark Teknik 76-KT Classic FET-style Compressor - New in box For Sale

This new (open box) Klark Teknik 76-KT offers Classic FET Compression with Class A line level amplifier and Midas transformers at a bargain compared to other 1176 peak limiters used in most high-end studios. Designed as an homage to the classic 1176LN, every effort was made by Klark to keep the 76-KT FET-Style Compressor true to the original D and E versions of the iconic signal processor. At the same time, they modernized the completely discrete signal path using hand-selected components and custom-engineered MIDAS input and output transformers – for the best sonic performance.
Easy to OperateThe compression ratio is selected by pushing any, or all, of the Ratio buttons located to the left of VU meter. Ratios available are: 4:1 for moderate compression; 8:1 for severe compression; 12:1 ratio for mild limiting; and 20:1 for hard limiting. Using the “All-Button” mode can be especially effective when applied to drums, bass, guitar, and room mics – or for more aggressive “in your face” vocals.
Attack & Release76-KT’s Attack knob adjusts the amount of time it takes the compressor to respond to audio that exceeds the threshold. The response time is slower at the fully counterclockwise position and faster when turned clockwise. The Release knob adjusts how long the compressor remains engaged after the incoming audio falls below the threshold. The response time is also slower at the fully counterclockwise position and faster when adjusted clockwise.
Vintage Style VU MeterIn keeping with the design of the original processor, the 76-KT features an illuminated, vintage-style VU meter for visual confirmation of gain reduction (GR) and output levels. A meter reading of 0 corresponds to an output level of +4, +6 or +8 dBm, depending on which button is engaged.
Built for the RoadFeaturing a rugged steel 2U rackmount enclosure, the 76-KT is designed for the rigors of live concert touring. Premium industry-standard XLR connectors are used to ensure reliable audio connections, night after night.
Auto-Ranging Universal Switch-Mode Power Supply76-KT features a universal power supply, which is auto-voltage sensing for use on a worldwide basis.
