The MC77 supercedes the MC76 re-engineered 1176 type FET Limiter

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.

One significant component is the input attenuator. The input attenuator that was custom made for the original revisions A-F 1176 and for the Purple MC76 by Clarostat was discontinued in 2002. It was a J series T-pad attenuator with two 600? "build out" resistors to keep a constant 600? load on the source and primary of the input transformer. Clarostat changed carbon manufacturers and the new carbon manufacturer was unwilling or unable to make the part. Purple temporarily stopped making the MC76 to find a solution. We tried several three deck Clarostat 70 series pots in different configurations to achieve the same loading and to match the taper. We found a solution that matched the original; both the originals and replacement parts are drawn in the schematic that you can download below. At the same time, we looked at feedback gathered from the hundreds of satisfied MC76 users. Based on that feedback, we incorporated useful new features into the revised unit, which was designated the MC77.

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)

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
