Stereo Operation
With the use of an external 1176 Stereo Adapter (1176SA), available from Universal Audio, two 6176s
can be connected for stereo operation.
Note:
When used in stereo operation, the Attack and Release controls on the two 6176s will interact
so that changing the Attack or Release times on either device changes that of both devices. Note that
when connected in a stereo configuration, the fastest attack time is doubled (that is, it becomes 40
microseconds instead of 20 microseconds).
Use the following procedure to calibrate the 1176SA stereo adapter:
1) Remove the signals from both 6176 units.
2) Disable the gain reduction on each limiter (set both Attack controls fully counterclockwise).
3) Connect the 1176-SA to both 6176s (This requires two RCA-style cables).
4) Use the METER function knob to set both units into GR mode.
5) Adjust the potentiometer on the 1176-SA until both meters read 0dB.
6) If it is not possible to zero both meters, reverse the stereo interconnect cables and
repeat the preceding step.
