Chandler Limited has specialized in remaking and reintroducing classic equipment that is no longer available or never was. With their products' outstanding sound characteristics, Wade Goeke and his boutique company from Iowa (USA) has managed to build up a enthusiastic fanbase of engineers from all over the world within shortest time. The company's ultimate ambition is taking the legendary designs of Rupert Neve and Abbey Road and updating them for present day studio use and abuse. Starting from these classic and vintage designs Chandler Limited has further developed some of the basic circuitry and remodelled and adapted them to present you with some of the finest and most versatile products available on the market today. Like the Vintage equipment used to record the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and many other ground breaking bands, all Chandler equipment is strictly hand wired. In recent years Chandler products have been featured prominently in albums, movies, and even video games.

Overview

One Channel Tube Compressor

The Chandler Limited RS660 Compressor builds upon the technological advancements that began with the historic EMI RS124 and Fairchild 660 compressors used at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios during the 1960s, and distills them into a refined and elegant compression circuit…that is the ‘RS660 Compressor’.

Rather than a reproduction of existing equipment, the RS660 Compressor stands apart and represents a path forward in the recording engineering development department.

Built around the 6386 vacuum tube, the RS660 Compressor is meticulously tuned for a sound, and the result is a more efficient means to achieve the desired characteristics of the historic 660 and beyond.

Capable of taming an array of dynamic sources from sensitive vocals to explosive drums, the RS660 Compressor and limiter is at home alongside the historic units from which it was hewn and adds to the modern engineer’s cache of analog signal processors.

The Chandler Limited RS660 Compressor is a handmade, mono/linkable, transformer-balanced valve (vacuum tube) compressor and limiter, packaged in a dual rack space configuration with an internal power supply.

The Chandler Limited EMI Abbey Road Studios RS660 Compressor’s feature-set includes: Input, Output, Time Constant, THD, Comp, Limit, Link and selectable Output Impedance.

Stereo matched pairs and stepped I/O controls are optionally available.
