Revive Audio Modified: Klark Teknik 1176-Kt unit that is a new unit opened for modification

Priced just right with a full 3 year warranty!

Just like all of our modifications, We put a lot of love into the mods on this one to squeeze out the maximum performance possible.

While the design is not authentic to an original our modifications will make even Professional studio owners happy!

With the modifications they sound great on Bass, vocals, room mics and more.

Pretty much anywhere you would want to put an 1176, like everywhere!

These designs start out a little better than the Warm Audio Wa76 compressor but still lack the Low End and smoothness of the classic compressor it is set out to clone

The distortion figures are reasonable but we felt when it came to bandwidth, headroom and Low end that it really needed something.

The Results:

The service increases the headroom of the unit, widens the frequency response, lowers the noise and increases the clarity a great deal.

It also lowers the distortion figures considerably and smoothes out the compression character to be closer to the original design and will leave a smile on your face.

So The modifications:

We do a complete audio path upgrade using premium parts for lower noise and higher headroom as well as lower distortion.

Transistors are upgraded to a more suitable type for the design.

All Audio caps are swapped out for better performance using Panasonic Parts to start.

Orange Drop Capacitors are used in critical coupling locations for more authenticity.

Bypassing is performed where necessary for lower noise in the line amp.

Power supply modifications are also performed for the lowest possible noise figures in the overall design and better current delivery.

All transistors are swapped out for better performance, HFE matched sets for better bandwidth, lower noise as well as lower distortion.

This unit has been professionally modified by our technicians and given the seal of approval to go to work at your home or in your studio.

These are wonderful sounding units with a lot of dynamic range and big bottom end with the modifications just the way it’s supposed to be:)

We are offering a full 1 year warranty on these newly modified units so rest assured!
