Chandler Limited EMI TG Opto Compressor
500 series mono dual space compressor
MFR# TG Opto
Product Description
The Chandler Limited EMI TG Opto Compressor is 100% handmade, fully discrete, mono, dual space module for 500 series racks. Chandler Limited is the only company in the world authorized to develop, manufacture and market the “Official Equipment” of EMI/Abbey Road studios.
The TG Opto offers the same sound characteristics as the TG1 Opto, TG1 and Zener Limiters, which trace their lineage to the historic EMI TG12413 limiters found on the TG12345 mixing and mastering consoles. The legendary TG12345 console was the signature sound of the Beatles final record Abbey Road as well as Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
With such simple controls, the TG Opto offers a larger than life sound. The controls include selectable sharp and rounded knee types, continuous input, makeup gain, attack, release and true bypass.
Using the sharp knee, the TG Opto is capable of creating massive drum sounds to add unlimited amount of attitude and depth to a recording, also commonly used in parallel on vocals and guitars. In the rounded mode, the compression is far less obvious, allowing it to control the source but seem transparent in the mix.
Fine-tune the compression to any source with its continuous control-set, which will make the TG Opto respond exactly how you see fit and allow the creation of a variety of tones.
Now you have the ability to create the entire classic console channel all within a 500 series rack with the addition of the TG2-500 preamp and TG12345 MKIV equalizer.

Buyer's Guide: Compressors/Limiters
05.23.2019Read More
Compressors and limiters are some of the most important and versatile tools that any audio engineer can use. Virtually every modern recording uses compression somewhere in the chain of tracking, mixing, and mastering. This ubiquity makes them valuable but also creates confusion when considering the many choices in the marketplace. To help straighten that out, we’ll discuss the main types of compressors and the terminology that explains their usage.
The purpose of a compressor is to even out the audio signal in order to tame loud transients and bring up lower amplitude material. Compressors were born out of necessity to fill that very straightforward role, to protect radio transmitters from overly hot signals, and to keep recordings in a narrower dynamic range that was easier to reproduce on tape or record.

The 500 Series format consists of a whole slew of different signal processing modules in a compact rack unit. Mic preamps, equalizers, compressors, DI boxes, filters, effects... You name it, you can find it in a 500 Series version from a wide variety of manufacturers.Most of those manufacturers participate in the VPR Alliance, established to set standards for the format to ensure that the end user can rely on consistent specifications with regard to voltage, current draw, size, etc. along with proper compatibility with existing modules.
