Here we can see some action, that is maessured in input steps from mix to max

In general the response is quite flat, also based on the steepness of the highs, it dictates oversampling functionality

No noise modeling (for the general noise floor original 1176s have it might not be such a bad thing).

Phase

Phase is nominal

THD/THD+N

Messured in input steps

We can see that THD content exists, its in normal levels

Character wise its rich and ‘full’

Consensus

This unit meets the analogue modeling criteria.

 

 Personal Quote:  Well all analogue unit difer (even in the same production line) so a real cross reference can be done only with the particular one UAD used. Other than that personally I expected less even harmonics THD wise (based on my original hardware revesion A analysis, two of them) but none the less the work is there. Great job Universal Audio!
