Universal Audio 1176 LN Classic Limiting Amplifier
Limiting Class A line level amplifier with all transistor circuitry
MFR# 1176LN
Product Description
The Universal Audio 1176LN Classic Limiting Amplifier is a modern reproduction, yet every effort was made to remain faithful to UA founder Bill Putnam Sr.’s visionary design and intentions. The original UA 1176LN was a major breakthrough in limiter technology — the first true peak limiter with all transistor circuitry offering superior performance with a signature sound — and set the standard for all limiters to follow. The ultra-fast attack time and trademark sound have lured legendary artists and studio moguls alike to the 1176LN — Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani, Joe Chiccarelli, Vance Powell, and Mike Elizondo are just a few names on a list that’s continued to grow, for nearly 50 years.
Features
- FET-Style Compressor with Class A Output & Custom Transformers
- True to the original 1176 in design, manufacturing and performance
- Class A line level output amplifier
- Custom built Putnam-designed output transformer
- Modeled after 1176LN, blackface, D and E revisions
- Ultra fast attack time – 20 microseconds to 800 microseconds
- Stereo interconnect operation
- Hand-built in USA; backed by 1-Year limited warranty

Universal audio has done a fantastic job of engineering these re-issues. I have used 1176s of different vintages, some black, one silver, and own an 1178. The track comes back very detailed vs the 1178 which adds a little fuzz, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so. While I don't have the other older 1176s to A/B I was immediately impressed with the new 1176s. They work well on all sources. They feel like brand new old friends.

They smooth out the peak transients, bring the source to the front of the song and make it sit just right in the overall mix.
There have been many revisions to the 1176 over the years, some have been minor adjustments, while others have been a complete makeover to update it to the current standards of the music industry. Continue reading → -

Now operated by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, RCA Studio B in Nashville is open for visitors to explore where their favorite records were made. The hallowed halls of the famous Music City studio have seen just about every legend pass through, including Chet Atkins, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and the King himself, Elvis Presley.
“Terry Blackwood of the Imperials asked Elvis how to knock a gun out of somebody's hand if they were trying to rob you,” says RCA Studio B Assistant Studio Manager Johnny Gentile. “So they found a pistol in the studio and held it towards Elvis. Elvis karate kicked the pistol out of the person’s hand and it went flying across the room. The barrel of the pistol went straight through the back of session guitarist Chip Young’s acoustic guitar.” Continue reading → -
