Issued in celebration of the 75th birthday of Abbey Road Studios, the Curve Bender from Chandler Limited is a dual-channel, 4-band parametric EQ unit based on the vintage EMI TG12345 desk used to record countless legendary artists, such as The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This discrete analog, rack-mounted EQ unit can operate in either stereo or dual-mono modes and sports 51 EQ points, LED illuminated true bypass buttons, and two smooth, 6 dB/octave filters, high-pass, and low-pass, for quickly attenuating the output.
Each band on each channel sports a useful multiplier switch, which allows you to select between a standard x1 or a greater and more tapered x1.5 factor for the cut/boost steps and Q width, providing up to 13.5 dB of cut or boost as well as an out position to bypass the specific band. In order to facilitate ultralow noise operation and reliable power, the Curve Bender is powered by a Chandler Limited PSU-1 external power supply, which connects to the EQ unit via a dependable 4-pin XLR power cable and features an internal switch for setting voltage to 120 or 220V.
The Curve Bender requires the PSU-1 external power supply to function. The PSU-1 is sold separately.
Comprehensive Control
The Curve Bender features 16 EQ knobs (four frequency, four boost/cut per channel), four high-pass and low-pass filter knobs (two per channel), two output gain controls (one per channel), eight multiplier/bypass switches (four per channel, one per band), and two LED illuminated true bypass buttons. Peak and shelf switches are also provided on the highest and lowest frequency bands of each channel for further versatility.
Reliable I/O
Each channel of the Curve Bender sports a 3-pin XLR female input and a 3-pin XLR male output. Each female input is locking, ensure a reliable and snug connection to your input signals. The power input utilizes a rugged 4-pin XLR cable, which connects to the DC power output of your included PSU-1 external power supply.
PSU-1 Power Supply
The TG12345 Curve Bender is powered remotely by the Chandler Limited PSU-1 power supply, and connected at the four-pin DC power connector. The PSU-1 is an external power supply capable of powering two units the PSU-1 is purchased separately.
