Hairball’s 1176 link kit provides an elegant solution for those looking to run two DIY 1176 compressors as a stereo pair. The kit employs a stereo linking technique from Purple Audio, in which the inputs from each channel are summed before being sent to the sidechain of both compressors. Setting up two units for stereo requires two boards, which can be either purchased as PCBs or as a full kit.
