Chandler Limited TG 1 Abbey Road
Chandler Limited的TG1是经典EMI TG12413压限器的重造。TG12413从60年代末开始用于EMI和Abbey Road的录音和母带制作控制台。刚开始时，TG压限器设计得像Fairchild 660/670，后者深受许多EMI工程师的喜爱，包括Geoff Emerick。但是后来这种独特的声音不再有了。这些罕见的设备不再能够买到，只有EMI所属的录音棚能够使用它们。这次重新制造基于Abbey Road和EMI提供的原始设计图纸，确保了它的纯正本色。
TG设备曾经用来录制了很多经典唱片，TG压限器也曾经用来录制Beatles的“Abbey Road”、几个Pink Floyd的录音，包括“Dark Side of the Moon”，还参与了Paul McCartney和滚石的录音。
这个压限器（压缩器）具有一个全分离式电路，平衡电压输入输出。限幅元件是一个罕见的二极管网络，产生出平滑悦耳的失真。
面板上各部分简要介绍如下：
THD/LIMIT拨钮开关：可以旁通压缩器（压限器）门限，但是信号仍然通过音频路径，这样整个设备就成为一个强大的谐波失真发生器，能够产生高达2％的总谐波失真。
INPUT/HOLD：这个功能就是输入增益/门限控制（就像1176）。
OUTPUT：21格递进切换旋钮，每格1db，总体＋/-10db的输出调整，可以用来电平匹配和精确的增益补偿。
COMP/LIMIT：这个切换开关可以使设备在压缩和限幅功能之间进行选择。压限器有着非常经典的动感声音，压缩器的声音则没那么激烈。这两种模式的声音都可以通过Hold和Recovery设置进一步精细地调整。总的来说，限幅模式更适合编轨和效果类型的声音，压缩模式更适合混音。
RECOVERY（恢复时间）：
限幅模式－0.05、0.1、0.25、0.5、1、2秒
压缩模式－0.05、0.1、0.25、0.5、1、2秒
起音时间：
限幅模式－8毫秒
压缩模式－47毫秒
注：电源单配 Chandler Limited PSU-1 MKII电源。

A re-creation of the amazing-sounding classic
The Chandler Limited TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition is a re-creation of the classic EMI TG12413 limiter used in custom EMI and Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles from the late 60&＃39;s. The TG Limiter was originally designed to have the characteristics of the Fairchild 660/670, which was adored by many EMI engineers - including Geoff Emerick - but ended up with a very special sound all its own. These rare pieces were never commercially available and only EMI-owned studios had access to them. The Chandler Limited version has been remade from the original design information and circuit board drawings as provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity.
You&＃39;re in good company: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Stones...
TG equipment was used on many classic records and this Limiter was featured on every channel of TG consoles used to record The Beatles&＃39; Abbey Road, several Pink Floyd records, including Dark Side of the Moon, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones. When you use Chandler Limited&＃39;s TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition limiter, you&＃39;ll immediately hear the sonic ancestry. This limiter sounds totally gear.
Pure vintage sound from discrete circuitry and transformer-balanced input and output
The Chandler Limited TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition limiter features an all discrete circuit with transformer-balanced input and output. The limiting element is a rarely seen diode network that produces smooth, pleasing distortion. The warm open sound, often compared to the holy grail Fairchild 670, is very punchy, while maintaining exceptional clarity and high frequency response. You&＃39;ve simply got to hear one in action to fully appreciate a limiter of this magnitude.
Tech Specs| Number of Channels | 2 | | Controls | Input/Hold, Output, Comp/Limit, Recovery | | Inputs | 2 x XLR | | Outputs | 2 x XLR | | Rack Spaces | 2U | | Height | 3.5" | | Width | 19" |
Chandler Limited TG1 Limiter Features:
Selectable Compression/Limiting
THD control lets you bypass Comp/Limiting but still pass audio through the circuitry
Transformer balanced inputs and outputs
New input control provides better control at lower amounts of compression
Note: this unit requires the Chandler Limited Power Supply
