The MC77 supercedes the MC76 re-engineered 1176 type FET Limiter. The MC77 recreates the audio circuitry of the revision E 1176, using modern components matched to the original.

Features inherited from the MC76:

Discrete Transistor Audio Path Electronics
Single Element Class A Output Amplifier
Transformer Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs
Zener Shunt Regulated Audio Power Supply
Compression Ratios - 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1
Fast Attack Time - 20 microseconds to 800 microseconds
Release Time - 50 milliseconds to 1.1 second
Gain of 45dB (full gain with no limiting)
Ruggedized Design - PCB stiffener, chassis mount transformers
Purple Anodized Aluminum Front Panel
3 Year Warranty*
NEW features in the MC77:

True Bypass via sealed relay with front panel switch
Improved stereo linking with front panel switch
Sidechain insert loop or key input with front panel switch
Buffered VU meter can monitor input or output level at +4dBu
LED meter lights that don't burn out as incandescents do
Heavy gauge black stainless steel enclosure
115v/230v operation switchable from rear panel
