The Chandler RS660 compressor is a single-channel valve compressor inspired by the iconic EMI RS124 and Fairchild 660 compressors used at Abbey Road studios in the 1960s.

The Chandler RS660 Compressor is not an imitation of existing equipment; instead, it represents an innovative approach to the design of recording-studio equipment.

Centred around a 6386 vacuum tube, the RS660 Compressor is tuned to reproduce the classic sound of its predecessors, achieving this through a more efficient design.

The RS660 Compressor and Limiter is capable of taming an array of dynamic sources, from sensitive vocals to explosive drums. Inspired by historic compressors, the RS660 is a great addition to the modern engineer's cache of analogue signal processors.

The Chandler Limited RS660 Compressor is a mono/linkable vacuum tube compressor and limiter packaged in a dual rack space configuration with an internal power supply.

The Chandler Limited EMI Abbey Road Studios RS660 Compressor offers the following features: 

  • Input, output, 
  • Time constant, 
  • THD, 
  • Comp (compression), limiter, 
  • Link (bypass),
  • Selectable output impedance. 

Stereo-matched pairs and stepped I/O controls are optionally available.
