Bring the authentic warmth and character of 1970s studio magic to your recordings with the 1976 3-band stereo saturation and width processor. This completely analogue unit injects the pleasing imperfections and sonic colour that made classic gear so revered, replacing harsh digital sterility with the fullness, softness and warmth that plugins can only attempt to emulate. Drawing inspiration from the highly acclaimed saturation and width features of the DC2476 Digital Mastering Processor, the 1976 offers genuine analogue saturation that adds life and presence to both recordings and live sound applications.
The three independent bands of saturation allow for remarkable precision that single-band processors simply cannot achieve. You can enhance the bassline with presence and grit without affecting the top end balance, or add vocal clarity without muddying the low frequencies. Additionally, the 1976 features three bands of stereo width control that bring genuine depth and dimensional presence to your mix, all operated through comprehensive yet intuitive controls designed for true stereo operation.
The front panel layout prioritises simplicity and familiarity while maintaining complete audio control. An Input control optimises incoming signal levels, followed by three identical Low, Mid and High Saturation and Width bands flowing from left to right, with Variable Crossover Frequency knobs positioned between each band. Output controls on the right allow for final level optimisation, creating a workflow that feels natural and immediate for any audio professional.
