The TG12413 Plug-In is actually two plug-ins in one, letting you choose between classic and contemporary versions of this legendary compressor/limiter:
- EMI TG12413 1969- Model of the unmodified classic EMI TG12413 Limiter. This unit features the standard HOLD control as on the vintage units.
- EMI TG12413 2005- Model of the Chandler Limited TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition limiter. This has the Hold control modified to be INPUT gain and the overall input is boosted 10db so the Limiter really slams!
TG12413 History
In December 1967 a specification was drafted to design and build a recording console to replace the valve mixers which had been used in the EMI Studios since the 1950’s. The result, the EMI TG 12345 Mk1 was the first transistorised multichannel mixing console in the world.
This 24 mic, 8 track mixing console had an integral limiter / compressor – the TG 12413, fitted to every microphone channel. The desk was installed in Studio 2 towards the end of 1968 and was used on many classic records and this Limiter was featured on every channel of TG consoles used to record The Beatles "Abbey Road", several Pink Floyd records including "Dark Side of the Moon", and Paul McCartney. Now, the EMI TG12413 Limiter plug-in brings the same unique and authentic sonic possibilities to the world of computers.
