Chandler Limited Zener-Bender for Console 1

The Zener-Bender For Console 1 combines in one channel strip the crisp and colorful character of the Curve Bender Mastering Equalizer with the big, punchy Zener Limiter to bring class, history, and most crucially of all, a phenomenal sonic impact. Component-modeled with Softube’s customary care and experience, the sound of these units together can take charge of any mix.

The Curve Bender’s filters, for example, can be placed before an existing Console 1 shape section, while the Zener’s THD circuit occupies Console 1’s drive section as a processor unto itself – making the Zener- Bender sonically assured in Console 1, while allowing you the feel and workflow of dedicated hardware. A winning combination.

Tracing the heritage of the Chandler Limited® Zener-Bender is like discovering an imperial family tree. The roots of the Chandler sound are in EMI consoles, used at Abbey Road from the 60s onwards to record some of the most seminal albums of all time, by the likes of Pink Floyd and The Beatles. And right up to the present day the Curve Bender and Zener Limiter are being used in both hardware and plug-in form by top producers and engineers across records by worldleading artists such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, The White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, and more. The influence of the Chandler Limited® sound cannot be overstated. It shapes the world it rules.
