UK Sound 176 Mono Compressor
Single-channel compressor featuring the classic operation and sound characteristics of hit-making compressors from the 60s and 70s
MFR# UK176
Product Description
The UK Sound 176 Single Channel Compressor is a fresh take on the classic 1176 style compressor, offering a high quality replica at a very friendly price point.
The 176 has very simple controls providing a huge sound, with adjustable settings for Input, Ratio, Attack, Release and Output. Just like a classic 1176, the input doubles up as the threshold control, allowing you to adjust the output gain sending the perfect level to your DAW or Tape Machine. Ratios vary from 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1. By engaging the "!" switch, you will activate the legendary "all buttons in" mode, a great tool for adding layers of excitement and depth to any source.
Also included is a SC filter that will allow the lower frequencies to pass through without engaging the compressor, resulting in a much more transparent sound.

Hear The New UK Sound 176 Mono Compressor
02.06.2019Read More
In late 2017, BAE Audio announced the formation of a sister company, UK Sound, with a focus on creating affordable, high quality gear. UK Sound's latest release follows suit with this ideal, as the 176 mono compressor offers up a design inspired by the classic UREI/Universal Audio 1176.
This isn't the first time that UK Sound has channeled the legendary FET-style compressor. The brand's first release, the 1173, brought together an 1176-style design with the much-loved Neve 1073 mic pre. While the 1173 comes in at a cost of $1,200, the new standalone version of the 176 only costs $749.00. This makes it perfect for anyone who already owns a 1073 mic pre and just wants more compression in their workflow. Continue reading → -
