FEATURED REVIEW
Chandler Limited REDD Mixing System
The mythological EMI mixing desk reborn!
Designed in partnership with Abbey Road Studios and EMI, the Chandler Limited REDD Mixing System continues the Iowa-based audio manufacturer’s 25-year history—which started with the EMI-based TG1 Limiter in 2001—of bringing classic EMI/Abbey Road audio designs into the modern world. This time, Chandler offers not one, but three classic EMI-designed console flavors in one modular and expandable recording and mixing system.
