Klark Teknik 76-KT
The Klark Teknik 76-KT brings the legendary FET-style compression of the 1967 Urei 1176LN into reach for project studios and live rigs. A completely discrete signal path, Class-A line-level output amplifier, and custom MIDAS transformers deliver the snappy transient response and harmonically rich character that defined the original. Push-button ratios from 4:1 to 20:1 plus the famous "All-Button" mode make it equally at home taming vocals, tightening bass, or crushing drum room mics.
- Ultra-fast attack (20-800 µs) and adjustable release (80-700 ms) capture transients without smearing
- Transformer-balanced Neutrik XLR plus balanced TRS 1/4" I/O for any professional line-level source
- Switchable 20 dB input pad tames hot signals before the gain stage
- Universal 100-240 V switch-mode power supply works in any region without adapters
FET-Style Compressor/Limiter Homage to the 1176LN
The Klark Teknik 76-KT is a FET-style hardware compressor/limiter paying homage to the iconic Urei 1176LN, the original solid-state compressor from 1967. Modeled after the D and E revisions, this unit combines classic FET character with modern components. The 76-KT suits project-studio owners and live engineers who want genuine 1176-style compression without the vintage price tag.
Discrete Signal Path with MIDAS Transformers
What sets this model apart is its completely discrete signal path paired with custom-engineered MIDAS input and output transformers, the same family used in Midas' award-winning consoles. The famous "All-Button" mode, pressing all four ratio buttons at once, produces the aggressive compression that made the original 1176 a studio staple on drums, bass, and vocals.
Compression Ratios — From Gentle Squeeze to Hard Limiting
Compression ratio selection is at the heart of FET dynamics, and the 76-KT delivers the full classic set.
- Compression Ratios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1 — covers mild compression through hard limiting
- All-Button Mode: all four ratios engaged simultaneously — produces the iconic "nuke" character
- Meter Calibration: +4, +6, +8 dBm — match the VU meter to studio operating level
Timing & Dynamics — Ultra-Fast FET Response
The FET topology is defined by ultra-fast transient response, and the 76-KT matches the original 1176 spec.
- Attack Time: 20 to 800 microseconds — captures drum transients without smearing
- Release Time: 80 to 700 ms — adjustable recovery for vocal smoothing and drum sustain
- Input Pad: switchable 20 dB attenuation — tames hot line-level signals before the gain stage
I/O, Power & Form Factor — Built for Studio and Stage
A 2U rackmount chassis houses the 76-KT with Neutrik connectors and universal power.
- Format: 2U rackmount — standard studio and live-rack integration
- Weight: 2.8 kg — light enough for portable racks
- Case Depth: 130 mm — fits shallow rack cases
- I/O: transformer-balanced Neutrik XLR plus balanced TRS 1/4" — works with any pro line-level source
- Power Supply: universal 100-240 V / 50-60 Hz switch-mode — no region-specific adapters needed
