Universal Audio 2-1176 Twin Limiting Amplifier

Universal Audio 2-1176 Vintage Twin Limiting Amplifier delivers a true stereo Universal Audio 1176. The design ethos behind Universal Audio 2-1176 stems from the demand of the 1176LN, which has sold over 2000 units since its re-birth in 2000. 2-1176 builds from the circuit design of UA’s hugely successful 6176 Channel Strip and combines two 1176 channels from that unit - an uncompromising design, with all the same components- stereo matched to boot!

With the release of the 2-1176, Universal Audio  once again put that sound into your rack but with twice the tone, twice the character and twice the compression - at an unbelievable price, and half the space. As you would expect from UA, it also retains all the features and trademark sound of its ancestor, and switches easily between dual mono and stereo link.
