Product Ref: 302069
The LA-6176 Signature Channel Strip features the renowned 610-B tube preamp circuit, giving you the rich, smooth harmonics that defined classic recordings from the Beach Boys to Coldplay. This preamp adds depth and warmth to vocals and instruments, providing a vintage sound that works across genres.
The 1176 Limiting Amplifier is a staple in rock and pop music, known for its fast response and punchy compression. Integrated into the LA-6176, it ensures your guitar, bass, and drum tracks cut through the mix with clarity and impact, reminiscent of recordings from Led Zeppelin to Beyonce.
The LA-2A Leveling Amplifier in the LA-6176 delivers the iconic optical compression that has been a favourite for over 60 years. This mode provides smooth, natural compression for vocals and instruments, adding a professional polish to your recordings. Easily switch between the LA-2A and 1176 modes to tailor your sound.
When used with Apollo interfaces, the LA-6176 Signature Channel Strip takes advantage of Unison technology to replicate the exact impedance and gain stage behaviours of the original analog circuits. This allows you to record with the authentic sound and response of the 610 tube preamp and two legendary compressors in a single Unison slot, making your digital recordings indistinguishable from analog.
"The LA-6176 plug-in adds excitement and colour to anything you put through it. You can do so much with this one plugin alone!" - Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motorhead, Nova Twins)
"The LA-6176 plug-in has quickly become my go-to channel strip for setting the foundation of a mix." - Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Rick Ross, Estelle)
