UREI 1178 Stereo Compressor February 10, 2026

 

Two-channel version of the legendary 1176, the 1178 is another classic from the UREI stable. It’s closely related to the late, silver-face 1176LN models and sounds just like them. It’s primarily a stereo unit but can be used in A+B mode, when they share attack, release & ratio settings

I bought my first 1178 new in Nashville in the 1980s and it was my go-to compressor for many years. Nothing hits quite like a UREI FET compressor and that makes it a must-have for any compressor rack

Aligned, tested & supplied with a new set of XLR pigtails, this 1178 is ready to ship
