Chandler Limited TG Opto 500 Series Compressor

Key Features

Heritage

The Chandler Limited TG Opto draws its heritage from the EMI TG12413 compressor, which was used on EMI TG12345 consoles of the late 1960s and early ’70s. These consoles were famously used for iconic albums such as the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.”

Sound Characteristics

The TG Opto aims to replicate the sound characteristics of the TG1 Opto, TG1, and Zener Limiters, all of which share lineage with the historic EMI TG12413 limiters found on the TG12345 consoles.

Compression Control

The TG Opto offers selectable sharp and rounded knee types, allowing users to control the aggressiveness of the compression. The sharp knee setting can create explosive drum sounds, while the rounded knee offers more subtle dynamics control.

Continuous Controls

The module features continuous controls for input, attack, release, and output (makeup gain). This allows for fine-tuning the compression to suit a wide variety of audio sources.

Bypass

The TG Opto includes a true bypass switch to easily compare the compressed and uncompressed signals.

Dual Space Module

The TG Opto is a double-wide module designed for the 500 Series rack format.
