Chandler LTD2 Mastering Pair
Chandler's clever mastering mod features 1db stepped gain, faster release times and special stereo matching of the pair. Originally designed for THE Sterling Sound mastering studio, and Sterling Sound is, well, let's say they know a good compressor when they hear it!
The Chandler Limited LTD-2 is a hand-wired 2254/2264/33609 that has been handmade using parts and build techniques from the original manufacture of the modules. Grounding, wiring techniques, original transformers, transistors, and much more attribute to the special sound of these units and have been painstakingly recreated in each LTD-2. We even make our chassis to resemble the old modules- highly polished plated steel.
The LTD-2 uses the control circuit from the Neve family of compressors, but retains the Class A amps and transformers from the the 2254 and 1073 modules. We add a six position attack switch which none of the vintage types had, and speed up the release times, which makes the units much more versitile. Warm and creamy and valuable in many situations!
Includes switched 1db gain make up, Halved release times, tweaked for stereo.
