Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter
EMI的TG12413齐纳压限器是为庆祝Abbey Road Studios成立75周年而推出的TG压限器。它是由Chandler Limited公司设计师Wade Goeke设计的，以古典EMI 电路为基础。那些古典电路曾经用来为Beatles和Pink Floyd录音。EMI压限器开始于1956年的RS114电子管压限器，随后在1966年推出了RS168齐纳压限器，1968年推出的TG12345控制台通道的一部分也是压限器，1974年推出TG12413压限器。的EMI压限器继承了EMI压限器的传统。它借用了RS168齐纳压限器和TG12345控制台通道条设计，成为一个新的全能而且灵活的设备，符合现代需要。
再次推出Zener压限器的主要原因是给强大的古典音色的TG压限器增添性能和灵活性。设计师Wade给它添加了许多新的控制，包括可切换的输入阻抗、11级递进的起音时间、21级递进的释音时间、旁链滤波，Comp1、Comp2和Limit设置。
面板上各部分简要介绍如下：
输入增益拨钮开关：可使输入阻抗在300和1200之间切换，使限幅分别以＋6db或＋12db进行。
THD拨钮开关：旁通限幅功能，但是信号仍然通过这个音频路径和旁链。可以使THD达到2％或更高。
输入控制：21级音量递变切换钮，控制进入压限器/压缩器的电平。
输出控制：21级输出切换钮，每级1db，总共＋/-10db的电平控制。
压缩/限幅切换：可以在限幅（Limit）模式和快慢压缩（Comp1和Comp2）模式之间切换。
旁链滤波器：当你需要更柔和的压缩或限幅效果的时候，这个旋钮非常有效，而且还能保持TG的声音特色。这使得TG可以用到任何地方，低音鼓、响线鼓或者整个混音都可以被轻松处理。频率点有30、50、90、150和300 Hz。
起音时间：
Limit－5、8、12、18、25、37、50、62、75、87、100毫秒。
Comp1－5、8、12、18、25、37、50、62、75、87、100毫秒。
Comp2－28、47、68、100、125、210、285、350、425、495、570毫秒。
释音时间：
Limit－10、25、50、65、75、100、125、150、200、250、300、350、400、450、500、625、750毫秒，1、1.25、1.5、2秒。
Comp1－10、25、50、65、75、100、125、150、200、250、300、350、400、450、500、625、750毫秒，1、1.25、1.5、2秒。
Comp2－60、125、250、375、425、545、700、850毫秒，1、1.2、1.6、2、2.25、2.5、2.8、3.5、4.25、5、7.1、8.5、10秒。
硬线旁通：按下这两个按钮，就可以分别完全旁通齐纳压限器的两个通道。
链接控制：可以链接到立体声。
The Limiter for the Abbey Road Sound!
The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is the definitive TG limiter, released in honor of Abbey Road Studios&＃39; 75th birthday. The brainchild of Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke, the Zener Limiter is based on the classic EMI circuits used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This latest EMI limiter carries on the tradition of EMI limiters started in 1956 with the RS114 tube limiter, and continued with 1966&＃39;s RS168 Zener Limiter (a component of the TG12345 console channel in 1968), and the TG12413 in &＃39;74. Start with the essence of the classic RS168, add modern functionality, and you have the Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter.
Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter at a Glance:
Classic compression and limiting, with modern flexibility
Exercise iron-fisted control over your dynamics
You get natural compression, scrumptious-sounding limiting - and a blend of the two
Classic compression and limiting, with modern flexibility
The original TG Limiter was designed to replace both the Fairchild 660 and the EMI-modified Altec 436/RS124 - two certified classics, revered for their dynamics-shaping prowess. The Altec unit was known for its natural, organic compression, while the Fairchild - with its fast, sub-millisecond onset and extremely soft-knee compression curve - is perhaps the most lusted-after (and imitated) limiter ever made. The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter gives you the sonic mojo of these two classics - and goes several steps beyond.
Exercise iron-fisted control over your dynamics
The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter gives you the power to impose your will on your dynamics. Starting with the powerful vintage TG limiter circuits, Chandler Limited gives you added features and flexibility in the form of controls such as switchable input impedance (for hard or soft driving of the unit), 11-position attack, 21-position release, and side chain filtering, as well as Comp 1, Comp 2, and Limit settings.
You get natural compression, scrumptious-sounding limiting - and a blend of the two
COMP 1 is a 2:1 ratio with slower time constants than originally designed by EMI engineers to emulate the Altec 436/RS124 EMI-modified Altec compressors. Limit mode is much faster and designed to emulate the response curves of the revered classic Fairchild 660. COMP 2 is a new setting that puts you halfway between the two original settings, essentially giving you the compression curve of Comp 1, with the faster release times characteristic of Limit mode. Whether you use it for tracking or mastering, with its sonic pedigree and effective controls, the Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is a must-have for huge, punchy mixes.
Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter Features:
Gives you the sonic mojo of two classics: the Fairchild 660 and the Altec 436/RS124
COMP 1 mode is a 2:1 ratio with slower time constants reminiscent of the Altec 436/RS124
Limit mode is faster and designed to emulate the response curves of the revered classic Fairchild 660
COMP 2 is a new setting that puts you halfway between the two original settings
Note: this unit requires the Chandler Limited Power Supply
