Analog Legacy Meets Digital Precision – Introducing the WesAudio NG78

The WesAudio NG78 marks a bold new chapter in analog compression. Inspired by the legendary 1176 design, this fully analog stereo FET compressor fuses the timeless warmth and speed of classic analog circuitry with the precision and workflow benefits of digital recall. It’s a forward-thinking design that captures the soul of analog while meeting the demands of modern hybrid studios.

Analog Power with Digital Recall

At its heart, the NG78 is 100% analog, built around a true FET topology that delivers the unmistakable punch, character, and musical responsiveness engineers expect from vintage hardware. Every element of the audio path – from the discrete transistor stages to the Carnhill transformer outputs – has been designed to retain that unmistakable analog richness.

What sets the WesAudio NG78 apart is its seamless digital integration. With full plug-in control, total recall, and DAW automation, engineers can save and recall every session setting with a click. USB and Ethernet connectivity make integration effortless, allowing the NG78 to operate as both a premium analog compressor and a fully controllable digital tool – without ever compromising tone.

Flexible Dynamics and Sonic Character

The NG78’s dynamic control is as versatile as it is musical. With five selectable ratios (2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1) and an iconic All-Button Mode, it adapts effortlessly to any source — from subtle bus compression to aggressive transient shaping. The extended attack and release ranges allow deep creative control over response time, making it equally suited for vocals, drums, or full mixes.

Adding to its tonal palette, the NG78 includes Selectable THD (Low, Mid, High) modes that introduce harmonic richness from its FET circuit, giving mixes extra warmth or saturation when needed. Whether you’re chasing vintage smoothness or modern edge, the WesAudio NG78 delivers authentic analog colour with total precision.

Smarter Sidechain Control

The NG78’s advanced sidechain EQ puts the engineer fully in control of how the compressor reacts to incoming audio. A high-pass filter (selectable at 60Hz, 90Hz, or 150Hz) allows the low end to breathe – perfect for retaining punch in bass-heavy material – while a high-shelf filter (2kHz, 5kHz, or 10kHz) lets you enhance brightness and focus compression on higher frequencies.

Meanwhile, Dynamic Link Technology ensures perfect stereo consistency by automatically compensating for component tolerances in the sidechain signal. The result is flawless stereo imaging and a natural, balanced response – even under extreme compression.

Redefining the Hybrid Studio

With features like analog automation, hardware A/B switching, and digital recall, the WesAudio NG78 represents the evolution of modern analog hardware. It bridges the tactile satisfaction of analog compression with the efficiency and precision of digital workflow.

Whether used during tracking to control dynamics, on the mix bus to add glue, or in mastering for final polish, the NG78 is more than a compressor – it’s a workflow revolution that redefines what’s possible in a hybrid studio. It’s analog craftsmanship, digitally perfected.
