Product Overview

The Chandler Limited TG Opto compressor is a handmade, fully discrete, mono, dual space module, designed for the 500 Series format. This compressor is a relative of the TG1 Opto, found in Chandler Limited's TG Microphone Cassette, the TG1 Limiter and Zener Limiter, and traces its lineage to the historic EMI TG12413 limiters found on the TG12345 mixing and mastering consoles of the late '60s and early '70s.

The attitude of the TG Opto is one of two personalities, each actuated by the selectable sharp and rounded knee types. In sharp, it is capable of explosive drum sounds, and set to rounded, it is well suited to scenarios where the artifact of compression is required to be less obvious or gentle.

The continuous control-set affords the ability to fine-tune compression to respond to an array of sources and create a variety of tones. Create your own TG console channel by adding together the TG Opto compressor, TG2-500 preamp and TG12345 MKIV equalizer to your 500 Series rack! Chandler Limited is the only company in the world authorized to develop, manufacture and market the "Official Equipment" of EMI/Abbey Road Studios.

This control-set includes: selectable sharp and rounded knees, continuous input, output (makeup gain), attack, release, and true bypass.
