◦ 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 (serial# 600)
