Built with high-grade Carnhill transformers and offering a massive +24 dBu of headroom, it delivers the unmistakable weight and character that professional engineers demand. Designed for mixing and mastering engineers who refuse to compromise between analogue tone and digital efficiency, the ng78 provides seamless DAW integration and total recall in a rugged 2U rackmount unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Discover the ng78: WesAudio's Brand-New Stereo FET Compressor\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oPIqJKLSSxI\" height=\"621\" width=\"1103\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlawless Stereo Imaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ng78 features proprietary Dynamic Link Technology, which automatically compensates for component tolerances within the sidechain signal. This ensures your stereo image remains rock-solid and perfectly balanced, even under extreme compression settings. Whether you are gluing a mix bus or controlling aggressive overheads, the ng78 provides the precision required for high-stakes professional production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Best of Both Worlds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the audio path is 100% analogue FET circuitry, the control path is entirely digital via WesAudio's GCon protocol. This allows you to save, recall, and even automate hardware parameters directly from your DAW plug-in. It eliminates the tedious task of manual session recalls, allowing you to move between projects instantly without ever losing your \"sweet spot\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Harmonic Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond standard dynamic control, the ng78 offers a dedicated Saturation Mode and selectable THD settings (Low, Mid, and High). Leveraging the FET circuit and Carnhill output transformers, these modes allow you to introduce anything from subtle vintage warmth to rich harmonic grit. This effectively turns the ng78 into a standalone analogue colour box, perfect for adding character to individual tracks or \"glue\" to a mastering chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% analogue signal path based on legendary FET topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-channel design usable as independent processors or linked stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Carnhill output transformers for authentic analogue weight and character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive selectable ratios including a gentle 2:1 and iconic all-button mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended attack range starting from 20 microseconds up to 20 milliseconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced sidechain EQ with switchable high-pass and high-shelf filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal recall and DAW automation through high-speed USB or Ethernet connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated mix knob for instant, automated parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-style gain reduction meters alongside high-precision input and output metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware A\/B switching buttons for real-time comparison of two different setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh headroom of +24 dBu ensures perfect compatibility with professional studio gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, and AAX DSP plugin formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e1x WesAudio ng78 Analogue FET Compressor\u003cbr\u003e1x USB Connection Cable\u003cbr\u003e1x Mains Power Cable\u003cbr\u003e1x Quick Start Manual\u003c\/p\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 Next-Generation Digitally Controlled Analogue FET Compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19-inch Rackmount, 2U height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz (+\/- 1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio (SNR):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;
