Warm Audio Wa76 Limiting Amplifier

Warm Audio WA76 Limiting Amplifier (WA-76)

Warm Audio's WA76 set its target high: the most iconic solid-state limiting amplifier in history. How does Warm do it? Through economies of scale, mostly. They don't cut corners on components (the WA76 employs genuine US-made Cinemag transformers), but they do order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down. Like the original classic unit, the WA76 gives you a completely discrete signal path and the same arrangement of controls. And yes, it replicates the original's explosive performance when all the ratio buttons are pressed in. Elevate your studio to the next level with the Warm Audio WA76.
