Soundskulptor CP5176 500 Series CompressorDesigned and crafted by Jean-Pierre Kuhn, France. Hand assembled in the UK by Matt Kent, Renegade Sound Ltd. Approved builders of Soundskulptor in the UKPostage price is to UK only. EU add £5. International add £10About the CP5176Where to start? The CP5176 is simply the best sounding 1176 500 Series clone on the market in our view.A FET based compressor based on the design that was originally used in the 1176 compressor adapted to the '500' format.The original UREI 1176 compressor became extremely popular because of its ultra-fast attack time, as well as its unique sound, due to the FET transistor, class A circuit and transformers.The CP5176 adds a few features to the original 1176 such as a new ratio of 2, a high-pass filter in the side chain and a variation in the FET gain reduction circuit that produces more distortion.Its also powered by the SK25 opamp - a 2520 opamp specifically designed for the circuit. Super quiet, really incredible sounding with "all buttons in" if you're looking for that 'smashed' sound.It is typically used for compressing snare, vocals, guitars or drum bus (in stereo if you buy two), but really sounds amazing on rock vocals or singers who wanna belt it out!We are Renegade Sound Ltd. based in St Albans. Authorised Build Partners of Soundskulptor in the UK. You will see links to our build services on Soundskulptor's website.We pride ourselves on expert build quality and service to manufacturer standards. All units are run to temperature for 1 hour and fully tested at Renegade Sound's Recording Studio prior to delivery.All builds come with a 6 month no quibble guarantee.I am also selling Other Soundskulptor and CAPI units.
