WesAudio ng76Stereo

The WesAudio ng76Stereo is a high-end analog 1176-style FET compressor that combines classic studio sound with modern workflow. With two perfectly matched channels, it delivers true stereo compression, ultra-fast response, and the signature punch and character of vintage FET compressors—ideal for mix bus, drums, vocals, and mastering.

Thanks to full plugin control and total recall, the ng76Stereo integrates seamlessly into your DAW, enabling automation and instant session recall. Features like parallel compression (MIX control), saturation mode, and advanced sidechain EQ make it a versatile tool for hybrid mixing and professional audio production.

Features:

• Includes 2 separate mono-channel devices that can be linked together via dedicated software.
• Compression detectors can be connected via a dedicated cable (included) for true stereo compression.
• All parameters between the units are linked via a dedicated plug-in.
• 100% analog 2-FET compressors with 24 dBu headroom.
• Classic lightning-speed compression style based on the WesAudio Beta76 design.
• Full Total Recall and plugin control compatible with most DAWs.
• Classic controls familiar from FET-style compressors—INPUT / OUTPUT / ATTACK / RELEASE.
• Additional MIX control for parallel compression.
• Carnhill transformers (input and output).
• Saturation mode—a special mode that triggers static compression to generate sonic character based on the FET circuit, and a control that adjusts INPUT and OUTPUT in opposite directions. This allows the unit to be used as a saturation box / clipper.
• Four ratio settings 4:1 / 8:1 / 12:1 / 20:1 - all possible combinations including ALL-button mode! Modern and Vintage modes to support two 1176 versions (F & G):
  • Vintage - Transformer-balanced input,
  • Modern - Electronically balanced input.
• Sophisticated side-chain circuit EQ with two independent sections:
  • HPF 60 Hz / 90 Hz / 150 Hz – to preserve bass information during compression,
  • High Shelf at 2 kHz / 5 kHz, 10 kHz – to tame high frequencies by emphasizing the high / high-mid range.
• Vintage Gain Reduction Meter. Highly accurate INPUT and OUTPUT metering.
• Hardware A/B buttons for comparing two independent settings.
• THD - Total Harmonic Distortion with LOW and HIGH settings based on the FET circuit.
• Fully digitally controlled and isolated analog circuit design.
• ANALOG AUTOMATION in DAW.
• Ethernet and USB connectivity for integration with digital plug-ins. Size: 2U.
