A mainstay on both Vintage King’s new and used equipment rosters, Chandler Limited specializes in making and remaking classic equipment that is no longer available or, in some cases, never was. Chandler grew from a demand for the classic equipment from yesteryear, basing their designs on vintage Neve and EMI equipment. Chandler products are hand wired and remain true to original circuit board layouts, delivering authentic tone and texture to the end user. On some units, Chandler has taken an amalgam of features and incorporated them into one design, resulting in a classic tone coupled with features that facilitate modern techniques and requirements. Most recently, Chandler has created two new 500-series modules: the Little Devil Compressor and Little Devil EQ. In addition to fantastic outboard gear, Chandler also offers up classic sounds in plug-in form with their spot-on emulations of the legendary Abbey Road console.
Following in the rich tradition of English 60s and 70s console design, Chandler Limited enters the
500 race furiously with its new Little Devil Equalizers and Compressors .
With all discrete circuits, transformer balanced everything, and the American hand made quality
you expect from Chandler the Devils combine
Chandler’s best designs with the hottest designs from the past.

The Chandler Limited Abbey Road Plug-In Bundle contains all three Abbey Road plug-in products: the Brilliance Pack, TG Mastering Pack and TG12413 Limiter – in native or TDM formats. The native bundle provides them in RTAS, AU and VST formats. The TDM Bundle provides them in TDM/RTAS formats. Brilliance Pack The Brilliance Pack provides authentic emulations of the EMI RS127 and RS135 EQ units, which were built in the early 1960s to supplement the EQ on the legendary REDD mixing consoles. These 'presence boxes' were used on countless seminal recordings at Abbey Road during the '60s, including almost every album by The Beatles. The plug-ins retain the operation and response curves from the original hardware and provide control of frequencies which can improve the presence and definition of recordings and help instruments stand out in a mix. The software is compatible with all popular DAW applications and can be used on mono, stereo and multichannel tracks. Three plug-in modules are included: the RS127 Rack is modelled on the original rackmount Brilliance Control and the RS135 recreates the 8kHz boost unit. The RS127 Box plug-in was created by modelling the standalone Brilliance Control with an EMI transformer used to connect it to modern consoles. The plug-in features an exaggerated response or 'transformer effect' at some settings, which is due to an interaction between the RS127 and the transformer. Key Features Three plug-in modules: RS127 Rack, RS127 Box and RS135 EQ curves from vintage Abbey Road hardware Exact replication of original design and controls Automation and control surface support Available in TDM, RTAS, Audio Unit and VST formats TG 12413 Limiter The TG12413 plug-in is an authentic emulation of the compressor / limiter from the legendary EMI TG12345 mixing console, which was used on many classic recordings such as The Beatles’ Abbey Road and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. The TG12345 consoles were custom-built for EMI's studios and were never sold commercially. The plug-in brings the sound of this rare and sought-after unit to computer-based DAWs and sets a new standard in vintage hardware modelling. It functions as a 2:1 compressor or as a limiter with up to 20dB of limiting and accurately reproduces the behaviour of the original. It can be used on mono, stereo and multi-channel tracks, supporting up to 7.1 surround operation. Two plug-in modules are included, providing variations on the TG sound: the ‘1969’ module is modelled on the original from the EMI console and the ‘2005’ module is based on Chandler Limited’s hardware reissue of the TG12413, the TG1.Key Features Classic and contemporary modules Compressor and limiter modes from the original hardware TG-style controls and gain reduction meter Mono, stereo and multi-channel operation Automation and control surface support Available in TDM, RTAS, VST and Audio Unit versions TG Mastering Pack The TG Mastering Pack provides authentic emulations of EQ and filter modules from the original EMI TG12410 transfer console. These consoles were custom-built for EMI's studios and have been the centrepiece of Abbey Road's mastering rooms for more than 30 years. The TG12410's Tone Control and Filter modules have become secret weapons of Abbey Road's mastering engineers and these were studied and modelled to create the TG Mastering Pack. The plug-ins bring the smooth, musical sound of the original TG hardware to users of computer-based audio workstations. The TG12412 is a four-band, semi-parametric EQ with selectable frequencies and curve shapes on each band. The Shape control provides the shelving and variable bell curves from the original module. The TG12414 provides a presence section and low- and high-pass filters. The presence section is the same as the presence EQ on the legendary TG12345 mixing console.Key Features Four band semi-parametric EQ Selectable curve shapes on each band Presence band and variable low- and high-pass filters Exact replication of original TG controls Automation and control surface support Available in TDM, RTAS, AU and VST versions System Requirements Pro Tools 6.9, 7.x or 8.x or any AU/VST host Mac OS X or Windows XP/Vista iLok Smart Key and ilok.com account

The new Chandler Universal Mix Control is inspired by the popular Wet/Dry feature used on the Germanium Compressor. Each channel of the UMC can function as either a Wet/Dry control or as a 2 x 1 summing mixer for those needing a high quality solution for combining multi mic’ed sources. Simply put, you can now add Wet/Dry to anything you want. Ever wanted some Dry signal on your EMI Limiter, 1176, Alan Smart, LA2s, 33609? How about a Fairchild 670 with a Mix Control :-) Don’t stop with just compressors. Distortion with a Culture Vulture or Sans Amp, Transient Designer, Leslie Cabinet, Guitar Pedals. The list is nearly endless. No latency, saves channels, little patching, and a very high quality, transformer balanced, low noise discrete circuit that allows you to use it anywhere without concern. And of course, the sound is all Chandler. Tracking? A must have. Mix Buss? Absolutely. Mastering? Not a problem! Something very new and fun waits for you!!! Wet/Dry or Mixer Control The heart of the Mix Control starts here. Each channel or the UMC can function as a Wet/Dry control or as a 2 x 1 summing mixer. Simply Turn the knob left or right to mix between Wet and Dry or Inputs 1 and 2. To hook up simply patch your comp to the insert point on back, or for mixing, connect the output of each signal path to Inputs 1 and 2 on the rear and balance the levels with the front panel control. VU Meter
Each channel has a 10-segment LED meter that shows the unit output in two ranges.
Low range -12 to +3 db.
High range +5 to +20 db.
Applications
Use the Mix Control as a stereo Wet/Dry to add life back to your mixes or masters. Compress with fewer artifacts while maintaining the Compressor punch we all love.
Bring the world of “console submixing” to your tracking session.
The mixer section finally brings a high quality, transformer balanced, discrete transistor mixing solution for combining microphones, tracks, and more. No more submixes in the computer or through an IC based console.
Combine both features when tracking. Sum microphones to your comp and Wet/Dry the mixture to your recorder.
Runs on any existing Chandler Power Supply. We’ve put it on just about everything. Ask us!
Wade Goeke on the Chandler Universal Mix Control “The coolest part of designing and using the Mix Control was that I got to pull out every toy I could find and put it on there. Originally the idea came from customers asking us to add the Wet/Dry feature from the Germ Comp to TG1 and Zener Limiters, so my early testing concentrated on that but then evolved into other gear as I saw how much fun it was to use it on all sorts of things. There were some very nice surprises that came up as work continued. First was using the Wet/Dry feature in a tracking situation. Normally sub-mixing has been reserved for mix sessions but this really opened up a new area for me. I love the smash you can get with vintage type compressors but popping in the Mix Control lets you do it in a much more usable way. My Retro 176, Vintage EMI Limiters and Altecs all took on a whole new dimension. Another surprise was using it with a Transient Designer and most people I’ve told that to have said HUH? Yep. On drums I would set the attack just a touch slower and the Sustain from half to full on. Set the Mix to around 50/50 and you can move a dry/kick snare to gymnasium but still have the punch and attack of the original tracks. During mixing I found myself also using it on toms just as mentioned. Really did the trick. What else have I used it on? Retro 176 and Altec 436’s on bass were excellent. I found myself squashing the bass mic and setting the mix control about 60% wet. I brought in the DI with a Pultec or GERM Tone Control and it really saved my bad bass tracking :-) On vocals I had beautiful results with EMI TG1 and Zener Limiter. Again hit pretty hard and mixed 40-60% wet. The Inward Connections Vac Rac TSL-3 was also great at this in its own beautiful way. Another favorite was the Alan Smart. Normally it’s a bit too soft for my liking and I don’t use it on the stereo buss where it’s intended. Letting a little of the dry peek through on the mix buss was very nice and made me want to keep my Alan Smart. Another surprise, that I actually started learning on the Germanium Comp, was that even though you are essentially duplicating a sub-mix type setting it does have a sound of its own. For me it tends to actually blend more and feel like it’s actually part of the sound as opposed to "Ok now I’m bringing up the sub mix faders". This "side effect", for me, is especially useful in a tracking situation. What else...33609 worked well, 1176 in four button mode is a sweet match for the Mix control....In the end I installed five Mix Controls in my studio and permanently wired them in. I placed them in strategic places so I could easily switch to another unit close by if needed. So... #1 is on the Transient Designer, with the Alan Smart right next. #2 is on my Vintage EMI TG Limiters that I modified to have all the Zener options. #3 Channel 1 is on the Retro 176 and Altec 436 with a TSL3 and my Vintage EMI RS114 (one of a kind :-) right next for easy switch over. #4 is EMI Vertical Amplitude Limiters, which are EMI disk cutting Limiters (heavily modified by me and SWEEEEEET!). #5 is on the 33609 with PYEs right next to switch as needed. So for me this has been a great learning experience. Not just putting my gear through its paces but looking at compression in a fun and different way. Hope you like the Universal Mix Control and Best wishes!"Wade Goeke President Chandler Limited
The Chandler Curve Bender was conceived by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke and Abbey Road senior engineer Peter Cobbin and is based on the vintage EMI TG12345 desk used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This newest EMI equalizer continues the tradition of EMI eqs started in 1951 with the RS56, affectionately entitled the Curve bender by EMI designers and continued with the TG12345 in 1968, and TG12412 in 1974. The newest version takes the simple but beautiful sounding TG12345 equalizer and realizes it in a fully featured and rethought package for today's use. During his mixing of numerous Beatles related projects including, Anthology, Yellow Submarine, and Imagine, Peter Cobbin thought of having a fully featured and ultimately flexible version of the original desk eq units. After Wade presented him with a working version of the famed console eq Pete realized his time had come and set Wade to making his unit. Peter asked for four bands and filters based on the slopes of the original desk but with overlapping and expanded choices. Wade turned the 9 selections on the vintage version into 51 eq points plus a multiply switch that increases the boost/cut to 15db (as well as sharpening the Q), filters, and bell/shelf selections on the high and low bands. A simple equalizer from the rich past of EMI and Abbey Road has now come full circle into a modern powerhouse suitable for recording, mixing, and mastering. The rest is NEW EMI/Abbey Road history...
EMI 12412 Mastering EQ
The EMI TG12412 was first introduced to the recording world around 1972 when Abbey Road installed the first TG12410 Transfer (or mastering) Desks. This equalizer is deeply rooted in the tradition of EMI eqs started in 1954 with the RS56, and continued with the TG12345 in 1969, and finally the TG12412 in 1972.
The eq has 20 selections on the four bands as well as five shapes per band. Shelf low, blunt, medium, and sharp bell curves, and shelf high. One of the interesting and highly prized uses of the TG12412 is the shelf high and shelf low settings. On each band you can choose to shelf up or down on any frequency and this is an often used trick of Abbey Road mastering engineers through the years. Another interesting feature is that all eq points are based on the note C and are spaced in half and third octaves based on that. It is thought that this is part of the totally musical sound of the equalizer.
The eq selection in detail-
Section 1- 32, 45, 65, 91, 128 Hz. +/10db boost or cut in 1db steps.
Section 2- 181, 256, 362, 512, 724 Hz. +/-10db boost or cut in 1db steps.
Section 3- 1.02, 1.45, 2.05, 2.6, 3.25 kHz. +/-10boost or cut in 1db steps.
Section 4- 4.1, 5.8, 8.1, 11, 16 kHz. +/-10 boost or cut in 1db steps.
EMI TG12414 Presence Filter
The EMI TG12414, was first introduced to the recording world around 1972 when Abbey Road installed the first TG12410 Transfer (or mastering) Desks. This special sounding equalizer and filter has been a highly prized secret of Abbey Road engineers for nearly 30 years.
Each unit includes high pass, low pass and presence and presence controls as well as the MKIV TG Line Amplifier. The Presence control provide 10db of boost or cut on eight frequencies that are approximately the same shape as the medium setting on the TG12412 Mastering Eq. It should also be noted that these are the same eq points as the TG12345 console eq as used on many Beatles and Pink Floyd recordings. The high and low pass circuits are 18db per octave and provide four and five selections respectively.
The eq and filter selection in detail-
Presence- .5, .8, 1.2, 1.8, 2.8, 4.2, 6.5, and 10 kHz with +/-10 of boost and cut in 1db steps.
Low pass- 20, 15, 12, 10, and 8 kHz at 18db/octave.
High pass-40, 63, 80, and 110 Hz at 18db/octave.
The TG Mastering Equalizer Pack is now available Pro Tools HD, LE, and M-Powered formats. VST and AU versions are in progress.

The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is the ultimate TG Limiter issued in celebration of the 75th birthday of Abbey Road Studios. The Zener Limiter was conceived by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke and is based on the vintage EMI circuits used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This newest EMI Limiter continues the tradition of EMI Limiters started in 1956 with the RS114 tube limiter, and continued with the RS168 Zener Limiter in 1966, part of the TG12345 console channel in 1968 and TG12413 in 1974. The newest version borrows from the RS168 Zener Limiter and TG12345 console strip to make a new fully featured and flexible unit for modern use. It is interesting to note that the TG Limiter was originally designed to replace both the Fairchild 660 (Limit Mode) and the Altec 436/RS124 (Comp 1 Mode) The main reason for Zener Limiter reissue was to add features and flexibility to the powerful and vintage sounding TG limiter circuits. To that end Wade has added many new controls including switch able input impedance for hard of soft driving of the unit, 11 position attack, 21 position release, side chain filtering, and Comp1, Comp2, and Limit settings. A simple Limiter from the rich past of EMI and Abbey Road has now come full circle into a modern powerhouse suitable for recording, mixing, and mastering. The rest is NEW Chandler Limited/EMI/Abbey Road history....
The Germanium series continues with the Chandler Germanium Compressor . The GERM Comp starts with the same all class A amp found in the GERM Pre and Tone Control and is transformer balanced in and out. The Compression circuit uses a FET gain reduction element but with the tricks and flexibilty of all the GERM units. Some of the most notable additions include a wet/dry mix, for “submixing” tracks within the comp, Comp Curve, which selects the knee using various diode combinations, clean/dirty comp, Sidechain filter. Many of the GERM Comp parameters have been purposely set by studio use and listening not by over analysing them with test gear. The result is a musical powerhouse ready for tracking, mixing, and mastering.
Chandler's newest series of units starts off with the GERMANIUM pre amp. A completely new design by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke that uses classic germanium transistors in all class A, transformer balanced, circuits. The use of germanium devices opens a whole new sound palate not found in any pro audio equipment currently manufactured.
These incredibly smooth sounding transistors were the basis of the earliest transistor designs by Neve (1053, 1055, 1057), EMI ( TG12345 MKI), Telefunken, and Fairchild. Those familiar with these units can attest to the special sound of the germanium tranasistor. The GERMANIUM series runs on +40 volt power, high current, and has a huge +34 output before clipping. The sound is warm and smooth as with many vintage style circuits, but you'll find a whole new world of smooth here as well as a sound that settles in perfectly to your tracks without fighting. Add these new circuits to Chandler's new transformer line that combines the best parts of our favorite trannies, St Ives and Gardners, into new great sounding input and output transformers.
Chandler GERMANIUM Tone Control . The Tone Control uses active AND passive EQ circuits in combination with the GERMANIUM amplifier developed for the GERMANIUM Pre and incorporates the versatile Feedback and Drive controls as well. All bands use inductors for the fattest smoothest tone possible. The passive low frequency section is selectable between "Pultec/Lang" interactive curves and more standard low frequency with pass filter for maximum flexibility while the Treble and Presence bands are active and designed to sound like your favorite British eq’s from yesteryear. The Tone Control continues the GERMANIUM tradition of undeniable sound with maximum flexibility at a reasonable price. Fans of the Pre are sure to love it!
Chandler PSU-1 is needed to power unit.
The Chandler Limited LTD-1 is a hand wired 10-series equalizer and pre amp that has been handmade using parts and build techniques from the original manufacture of the modules. Grounding, wiring techniques, original transformers, transistors, inductors, and much more attribute to the special sound of these units and have been painstakingly recreated in each LTD-1. In addition to the classic 10-series sound we add all the modern functions you expect and expand the EQ section giving you much larger palate to choose from. Features include high impedance direct in, 48v switching, output fader, eq in/out, phase reverse, balanced mic in, balanced line in, over built power supply to ensure maximum headroom, and nine additional eq points.
The Chandler Limited LTD-2 is based on the 2254 compressor which is the class A predecessor to the 2264 and 33609. Construction is similar to the LTD-1. The same audio circuit with a modified set of controls (i.e. attack times not on original and more and faster release times). The front panel controls are as follows- 20db gain make up, threshold, attack (6 positions), release (6 positions including auto), stereo link, and bypass.
The control functions and applications seem to be more similar to those of the venerable Neve 32264a and 33609, with the thick and rich audio qualities of the Neve 2254a and Neve 2254e. On the whole, this unit is more than just another "Neve-a-like"...
it takes the original Neve 2254 concept to the next level of tone and flexibility.
Connections
All connections are transformer balanced with pin 2 hot.

The Chandler Limited Mini Mixer is the culmination of Chandlers experience working with many types of vintage, discrete circuits. The Mini Rack Mixer traces its lineage back to several types of these amplifiers developed in the 60's and 70's that have been Chandlerized for modern usage. Each Channel of the 16x2 Mixer is transformer balanced and driven by the New Chandler Line Amp, which borrows from Chandlers other products but has been redesigned for use in this mixer. The Mini Mixer is jam packed with discrete amps and classic sound, 20 discrete amplifiers and 22 custom wound transformers in the unit, and delivering all the punch and tone you need for todays digital environment. In addition to the mixer section, the unit has a full featured Control Room section including Talkback, Speaker switching, Mute, Mono, Dim, External input (also used as an insert point), and separate Control Room and Stereo Buss outs.

"My first impression was that the difference that the Mini Rack Mixer makes is bigger than the difference mastering makes... The Chandler Mini Rack Mixer will inevitably get compared to all the new summing boxes, but because of its 100% discrete design, Class-A line amps, transformer balanced I/O-and resulting sound quality-it has no real competition short of a vintage Neve console."Mike Caffrey, Tape Op #49 Sept/Oct 2005 "We weren't necessarily in the market for another mixer, but we've learned that it's definitely worthwhile to check out anything Chandler is coming out with! It's such a well thought out and designed unit and like everything Chandler makes, it sounds awesome. It seems everything sounds better when run through the Chandler line amps! It's incredibly versatile and useful as a sidecar, line mixer or summing device plus it's great to have as the control section for a Pro Tools room."- Billy Bush, engineer for Garbage and Butch Vig "...gotta say it does sound amazing. It is a beautiful piece of gear........and made a huge difference as soon as I was able to split out multiple tracks and recombine thru a proper stereo buss....it sounded warm and really fat...it made my speakers come alive! my mix sounded clearer and the vocal had especially nice detail...........Also, it's very easy to use...."- Joe Barresi I am absolutely stunned by your mixer. It may be sacrilegious to say, but the Chandler has become my preferred choice in virtually every instance that I have would normally desired a vintage Neve console (in fact, I ditched the one I previously had). This makes absolutely no sense to me, hence I would suggest that you have made some sort of pact with Satan to fabricate such a thing. Heaven help you, but thanks all the same for creating such a remarkable recording device.- Michael Beinhorn
