Soon, these 20-tube, 14-transformer, 67-pound behemoths resided in world-class studios, many of which still employ their vintage Fairchilds. The first Fairchild limiter that audio genius Rein Narma created on Les Paul’s kitchen table transformed recording forever.
Now your vocal tracks, drum bus, and entire mix can benefit from the world’s most accurate plug-in recreations of these one-of-a-kind compressors, with the Fairchild Tube Limiter Plugin Collection for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces. These 20-tube tone titans - which now fetch upwards of $50,000 - impart an unmistakable silky warmth heard on hundreds of hit records from the Beatles and Pink Floyd to countless Motown classics. The Fairchild 670 and 660 are the most coveted vintage compressor/limiters in the world, with good reason. Universal Audio are offering their Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection for $75.00 for a limited time (usually $229.00).
