Audio nerds can finally bankrupt themselves buying a modular Abbey Road desk for their bedroom. Chandler Limited teamed up with Abbey Road Studios to drop the REDD Mixing System, which lets people combine different vintage EMI circuits into one rig. Wade Goeke and Mirek Stiles spent six years designing this beast that scales from home setups to pro rooms. It represents the first EMI console release in over half a century.
Every unit gets hardwired by hand without any cheap ribbon cables or surface mount junk. Users swap out cassettes to mix solid-state or tube flavors depending on the vibe. The TG2 input option packs a Class A preamp, while the REDD cassette uses tubes. They also planned a germanium transistor version based on old desks for late twenty twenty-six.
The buss sections offer similar choices between tube or solid-state circuits with wet/dry knobs. A cool trick allows plugging guitar pedals directly into sends without needing extra re-amp boxes. Expansion units add more channels if the basic setup feels small. The master section handles speaker switching and talkback duties while vintage faders light up with LEDs.
American buyers can order one directly from Chandler Limited right away via special order. Shipping starts around August for those lucky few. Global distribution details remain vague for everyone else outside the States. Anyone wanting prices needs to email the company because they keep costs hidden behind a contact form.
