An Abbey Road Heritage Reissued for the 75th Anniversary

Celebrating Abbey Road Studios' 75th anniversary, the Curve Bender condenses the DNA of historic EMI equalizers-from the 1951 RS56, nicknamed "Curve Bender," to the 1968 TG12345 and the 1974 TG12412. Co-designed by Wade Goeke (Chandler Limited) and Peter Cobbin (senior Abbey Road engineer), it translates the musicality of the legendary console used by The Beatles and Pink Floyd into a modern, reliable, and precise format.

Who Is This Product For?

Ideal for mix engineers who want to "sculpt" a stereo bus with elegance, as well as mastering studios seeking a wide-band equalizer with iconic character. On acoustic takes, vocals, or a mastering chain, it delivers broad and natural curves, controlled lows, and silky highs without harshness.

Key Features and Useful Studio Innovations

4-Band Equalization with Wide Palette

The 51-point matrix offers finely spaced frequencies and overlapping bands for precise or creative adjustments. Bass and treble can be switched between "Baxendall" (musical shelving) and bell curves to tailor the response to the source and context.

0.5 dB Step Precision and Extended Operating Range

Each band features a notched gain control (21 positions) for instant recall. The "x2" switch extends the range up to +/-15 dB while narrowing the bandwidth, useful for targeting an area with more impact without losing tonal coherence.

Designed for the Stereo Chain

Stereo/dual mono operation ensures rigorous channel matching or, if needed, asymmetric processing. High-pass/low-pass filters and independent channel bypass optimize workflow and A/B comparison.

Questions frequently asked

Does the Chandler Limited Curve Bender require an external power supply?

The PSU-1 power supply is required for operation and is sold separately.

Can this equalizer be used on a stereo bus?

Stereo/dual mono operation allows for matched processing of both channels or independent settings. A bypass is available separately on each channel to facilitate A/B comparisons.

What equalization curves are available in the low and high frequencies?

The low and high bands offer a choice between a Baxandall-type shelving curve and a bell curve. This configuration allows adapting the intervention to either broad correction or more targeted adjustment.

What is the gain range and what is the purpose of the x2 switch?

Each band features a stepped gain with 21 positions, with 0.5 dB increments. The x2 switch expands the range up to +/-15 dB. It also narrows the bandwidth to provide stronger adjustment in a given area.
