The first compressor featuring solid‑state circuitry and ultra-fast 20 microsecond FET gain reduction, the 1176 is an easy‑to‑use “desert island” compressor that has lent its character and punch to some of the greatest recordings in history.\n\nUpon its release in 2001, UA’s first 1176 plug‑in single‑handedly launched our UAD platform. Extensive end‑to‑end circuit modeling in 2013 captured even more sonic nuance. Now with updated graphics and additional controls, the 1176 Classic Limiter Collection continues its legacy of analog modeling excellence.\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-centered tc_\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTAKE A LISTEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"assetlibrary_images \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"assetlibrary_images__col asset_1233\"\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e \u003csource srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_soundcloud_mob_@2x.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_soundcloud_mob_@2x.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"de207\" class=\"iframe-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"iframe-wrapper__aspect-ratio\"\u003e\u003ciframe id=\"widget2\" title=\"UA 1176 Classic Limiter Collection Plug-Ins Sound Examples | UAD Native \u0026amp; UAD-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qSgk9SwlldY?enablejsapi=1\u0026amp;origin=https:%2F%2Fwww.uaudio.com\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-95=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spacer spacer--small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"iv3210d\" class=\"inline-video\"\u003e\n\n\u003cpicture\u003e \u003csource srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_2nd_video_bg.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_2nd_video_bg_@2x.jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 769px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_2nd_video_bg.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_2nd_video_bg_@2x.jpg 2x\"\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inline-video__text\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"no-uppercase\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5-Minute UAD Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nFeaturing the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection.\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spacer spacer--small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"310ce\" class=\"product-feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__image--left\"\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e \u003csource srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1_mob_@2x.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1_mob_@2x.jpg\"\u003e \u003csource srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1_@2x.jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 769px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1_@2x.jpg 2x\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\" lazyloaded\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1_@2x.jpg 2x\" alt=\"A Triple Threat\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_1_@2x.jpg 2x\"\u003e\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__content-wrapper--right\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__text-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Triple Threat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection provides three distinct 1176 revisions, representing over 40 years of design iterations to the original 1176.

The Rev E “Blackface” covers the early '70s Brad Plunkett “LN” (Low Noise) era, with variations including a more linear compression response, transistor gain amplification, and a change to the program dependence.

Input simultaneously sets compression threshold and the level of the signal entering the 1176; Output sets the final signal level. Attack sets the time it takes the 1176 to respond to incoming signal, while Release sets the time it takes the 1176 to return to its initial level. The VU meter displays the amount of gain reduction (GR) or output level (+4\/+8).\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"6c14d\" class=\"product-feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__image--left\"\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e \u003csource srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_mob_@2x_1.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_mob_@2x_1.jpg\"\u003e \u003csource srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_@2x_1.jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 769px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_@2x_1.jpg 2x\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\" lazyloaded\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_@2x_1.jpg 2x\" alt=\"Ratio Buttons for Iconic Color\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_1.jpg 1x,https:\/\/media.uaudio.com\/assetlibrary\/1\/1\/1176_classic_limiter_collection_feature_3_@2x_1.jpg 2x\"\u003e\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__content-wrapper--right\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature__text-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatio Buttons for Iconic Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe four Ratio buttons determine the degree of gain reduction — lower ratios for compression, higher ratios for limiting.
