Never heard the 2-1176 but it does have different input tranny's and also lacks the bridge-t attenuator that the 1176 has, maybe other differences as well. The 2-1176 isn't just an 1176 x2. The 2-1176 is the comp section of the 6176, x2 (UA even says so). Note that UA specifically says of the 6176; "The 1176 side maintains all the same features found on the Classic 1176LN" ---there are tons of compressors that have the same features as the 1176, LOL. That being said, the 2-1176 could be a great comp, but ironically I would never use a pair of 1176's on a mix buss, so I don't quite get the 2-1176 pairing idea.

I have not found a solid answer. But, UA product support usually answers email fairly quick. I've even asked them some complex questions and always got an answer.

It's not easy for a company to talk one of their products down. Anyway, this is from UA's website> Quote:

The reason I ask is, there's quite a bit of price difference per channel so, that makes me think that... something must be different.... right?

They don't sound the same. 2-1176 doesn't pump the same way.

It is stil a damn good compressor thumbsup As for why 2 channels? There is more to stereo than the 2-bus. Drum Room mikes is a pretty widespread use i would guess. There are still some of us that do track more than 1 instrument at the time  |

this has been discussed before: UA 2-1176 sounds WAY different than UA 1176 the impedance switch on the back makes a huge difference. it is a great sounding box. ej |
