Sound Skulptor CP5176 Compressor

Based on the 1176LN design, the CP5176 is a class A FET compressor that offers a very short attack time (20 microseconds announced). It uses Cinemag transformers on both the input and output.

Unlike the original, this model was added a 2 ratio, a high-pass filter in the sidechain circuit and a FET gain reduction circuit variation which allows for more distortion.

You can use the CP5176 on snares, vocals, guitars tracks or on the stereo drums bus.

Specifications:

• Discrete Class A circuit
• Discrete Op Amp output stage, API 2520 compatible
• 5 ratios + SLAM ratio mode (4 buttons pushed)
• Optional high-pass filter in the sidechain
• Distortion mode
• Gain reduction meter
• Cinemag transformers on the input and the output

The CP5176 compressor is available for 592€ (assembled) or as a kit (all included) for 353€. More info at www.soundskulptor.com.
