Modelled on the iconic 1176LN, it delivers ultra-fast response and musical dynamics control. Perfect for lead vocals, drum buses, and peak limiting on tour, the 76-KT offers authentic hardware character in a budget-friendly format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1103\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aPxHB_ZzjC4\" title=\"KLARK TEKNIK 1176-KT Classic FET-Style Compressor\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom MIDAS Transformers for Rich Analogue Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding on a legendary heritage of console design, Klark Teknik has equipped the 76-KT with custom-engineered MIDAS input and output transformers. These premium components deliver high-quality audio reproduction with exceptional low-end tightness, powerful midrange presence, and transparent high frequencies. Even under heavy compression, they preserve the musical weight of your signal, ensuring your mixes sound rich and full-bodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Class-A Circuitry and Modernised Reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 76-KT features a completely discrete signal path paired with a premium Class-A line-level output amplifier. This modernised design replicates the responsive, harmonic behaviour of vintage hardware while maintaining a lower noise floor and outstanding electrical stability. Hand-selected components ensure the signal path remains clean, providing high-headroom performance that handles hot transient signals with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLightning-Fast FET Attack and All-Button Squeeze\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUtilising high-speed Field Effect Transistor (FET) technology, the 76-KT responds with a lightning-fast attack time starting at just 20 microseconds. This immediate reaction makes it the ultimate tool for controlling rapid transients on snare drums, acoustic guitars, and dynamic vocals. For creative sound design, the famous \"All-Button\" mode alters circuit bias points to deliver an aggressive, explosive room tone perfect for drum buses and rock mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelled on the iconic 1176LN D and E revisions to provide classic FET-style dynamics control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely discrete signal path with hand-selected components for optimal signal integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-engineered MIDAS input and output transformers for rich, vintage-style harmonic warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated Class-A line-level output amplifier delivering clean headroom and lower distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntuitive ratio push buttons supporting 4:1 and 8:1 compression, alongside 12:1 and 20:1 limiting settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamous all-button mode for achieving explosive drum room tracks and aggressive, in-your-face vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable attack times from 20 to 800 microseconds and adjustable release times from 80 to 700 milliseconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-style illuminated VU meter for instant visual confirmation of gain reduction and output levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer-balanced inputs and outputs on professional Neutrik XLR and 1\/4\" TRS parallel-wired connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel mains power switch and a rear-panel -20 dB input pad switch to attenuate hot signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply for absolute voltage sensing and worldwide compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust 2U rackmount steel enclosure engineered to withstand the rigours of touring and daily studio use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic 2U FET Compressor \/ Limiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR, 1\/4\" TRS, transformer balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;600 Ω, balanced and unbalanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Input Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e +30 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Pad Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20 dB typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR, 1\/4\" TRS, transformer balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 Ω, balanced and unbalanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Output Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e +25 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ±1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 dB @ +4 dBu In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion (THD+N):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15% typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttack Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 to 800 µs (adjustable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 to 700 ms (adjustable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRatio Settings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20:1, 12:1, 8:1, 4:1 (plus All-Button mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 – 240 V~, 50\/60 Hz (universal switch-mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19-inch \/ 2U rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 mm x 483 mm x 159 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover Klark Teknik Classic FET-Style Compressor [76-KT]:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" title=\"Discover Klark Teknik Premium Audio Solutions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.klarkteknik.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.klarkteknik.com\/en\/products\/0817-ABA\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Klark Teknik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51406610268196,"sku":"ADSRS_KT76KT","price":4445.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/8294\/files\/ADSRS_KT76KTimag1.png?v=1788767906","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosaurus.co.za\/products\/klark-teknik-76-kt-1176-style-compressor","provider":"Audiosaurus ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
