The Chandler Limited Zener Limiter is based on the vintage EMI circuits used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This limiter is fully-featured and very flexible for modern use!
The Chandler Limited Zener Limiter is the ultimate EMI 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. It continues the tradition of EMI limiters started in 1954 with the RS114 tube limiter and the 1968 RS168 Zener Limiter. The Zener Limiters were also part of the 1969 TG12345 console channel and the 1974 TG12413. This newest version borrows from the RS168 Zener Limiter and TG12345 console strip to make a new full featured and flexible unit for modern use. The Zener Limiter is being reissued to add features and flexibility to the powerful and vintage sounding TG limiter circuits. Wade has added many new controls including switchable input impedance for hard or soft driving of the unit, 11-position attack, 21-position release, side chain filtering, and Comp 1, Comp 2 and Limit settings. A simple limiter from the rich past of EMI and Abby Road has now come full circle into a modern powerhouse suitable for recording, mixing and mastering. The rest is new EMI/Abbey Road/Chandler Limited history.
