Celebrating a decade of Universal Audio’s refounding and just over 40 years since the birth of the 1176, the 1176AE Anniversary Edition is a custom, limited-run, “hod-rodded” version of the world’s most recognized studio limiter—only 500 1176AE units will be made available worldwide. The “AE” descriptor not only stands for Anniversary Edition, but counterpart with its blackface/bluestripe cosmetic treatment, signifies the very unit revisions this unique instrument draws from. The 1176AE borrows the sonically unique program-dependent characteristics from the original, Revision A “Bluestripe”, while retaining the class-A low-noise (“LN”) circuit and custom transformers of the most popular 1176: Revision E.

Classic Technics Direct-Drive Motor- The Technics Direct-Drive system, which incorporates the platter as an actual component of the motor, was introduced with the SP-10 in 1969 as a way to eliminate the drag, inevitable breakage and slow start-up speeds associated with belt-driven players. With the reliable rotation, instant response and long life you have come to expect from Technics analog models, the SL-DZ1200 boasts the same quartz crystal controlled Direct-Drive that has been the choice of professional DJs for over thirty years.
