Present on virtually every Beatles session, the RS124 left its remarkable signature across most of the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS124’s undeniably smooth character and ability to tame transients without muffling the sound at steep compression levels, quickly became popular with Abbey Road Studios engineers and widely used throughout the now historic studio, for tracking, buss compression, mixing, and mastering. They were so integral to the recording and mixing process that a pair can be seen in almost every control room photo in Abbey Road Studios during the 60s period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS124 Compressor was built for use at Abbey Road Studios, and was never commercially available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the years, from incomplete information and supposition, some have tried to recreate the holy grail of tube compressors, though never fully capturing the elusive Abbey Road RS124 in all its glory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEMI RS, Tube\/Valve (6BC8, 6CG7, 6AL5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChannels:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeature Set:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInput Control:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eContinuous (stepped special order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOutput Attenuator:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eContinuous (stepped special order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAttack:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSelectable, Stepped (9 settings, including 3 Abbey Road Historic serial numbers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRecovery:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSelectable, Stepped (6 settings, and HOLD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuperFuse:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSwitchable mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e200\/600 ohms, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStereo Linkable:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStandard 1\/4\" jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI\/O:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXLR (pin 2 hot), Transformer balanced, custom wound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eInternal, AC wired region specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chandler LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50962373640447,"sku":null,"price":70120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/1023\/7183\/files\/RS124MasteringCompressorwSteppedSwitches.png?v=1794176505","url":"https:\/\/maxvanta.shop\/products\/chandler-ltd-rs124-mastering-compressor-w-stepped-i-o-switches","provider":"Clearbrook Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
