Chandler Limited REDD.47 Preamp
Recreation of the original valve line amplifiers used in Abbey Road Studios’ heralded and rare EMI REDD.51 recording consoles circa 1959-1968
MFR# REDD. 47 MIC AMPLIFIER
Product Description
Reborn from a legend
Designed as a central component to the EMI REDD.51 recording console, the original REDD.47 line amplifier was used to amplify virtually every stage of the audio path (mic inputs, line inputs, echo sends and monitors).
The REDD.47 lent its unmistakably punchy, aggressive character to music recorded at Abbey Road Studios between 1964 and 1968, including many tracks by The Beatles.
Enhanced for today's standards
The Chandler Limited REDD.47 Preamp offers many additional benefits to the original design including increased gain, allowing a range of tonal options from pristine clean sound to classic rich, saturated tone with up to 2% harmonic distortion before clipping. The Chandler Limited REDD.47 pre-amp easily reproduces the distortions heard on The Beatles’ ‘Revolution.’
Chandler Limited’s REDD.47 tube microphone pre-amplifier delivers the legendary sound of Abbey Road Studios’ ‘Holy Grail’ pre-amp, with extra features to meet today’s recording studio standards.

Love the character of this! More than a preamp. Very useful. Helps me get to the finish line faster. Love it on guitars vocals bass and rooms. If I could I would have 8 of these and use it on almost everything.

What a fat, fabulous pre! In our never-ending pursuit of analog warmth and vibe we added a pair of Redd .47 Pre-amps to our existing rack of Neve, BAE, API, Avalon & Universal pres. The addition has been magical in that the REDD.47 sounds like nothing you have and everything you’ve wanted. Its got character, in a great way…that only those EF86, E88CC tubes can create. It makes every mic and source better. You can digitally model all you want, but the only way to get true analog character is with analog gear. Get that sound up front, before it goes in the box…then it’s real. We think the Chandler Limited REDD .47 is the greatest Pre-amp on the planet.

Great sounding pre-amp. Low level 60 cycle hum is is bothersome...Causing me to hesitate purchasing a second unit. I need to troubleshoot or possibly send in for checkout by Chandler or V.K. Great compliment to my Neve 1073 pre-amps.

Buyer's Guide: Microphone Preamps
03.15.2019Read More
A crucial link in the audio chain is the microphone preamplifier, aka the mic preamp or mic pre. The output level of a microphone is very low and requires amplification to bring it up to line level. That’s what a mic pre does. But a mic preamp can’t drive a pair of speakers; that’s the job of the main amplifier.A key part of the job for a mic pre is to keep input noise to a minimum and to amplify without distortion.
Being the first amplification stage of the microphone signal, the mic preamp is essential to getting a good sound. Choose a poor one and you’ll be working harder to overcome its limitations. Choose a good one and processing your sound will get a lot easier. But what are the differences between average preamps and better ones? Let’s look at some of them. Continue reading →
