The EMI TG12413 Limiter Plug In continues the tradition of EMI Limiters started in 1954 with the
RS114 tube limiter, and continued with the RS168 Zener Limiter in 1968, part of the TG12345 console
channel in 1969 and TG12413 Mastering desk version in 1972.
Two versions are included in the TG Limiter Pack. The 1969 version is the historically accurate version
from the TG12410 Transfer, or mastering desks, which has the original HOLD control. The 2005 is
closer to the Chandler TG1 hardeware reissue which changed the HOLD control for a standard INPUT
control and also has 12db higher input to the compressor. In use the 1969 version may be better at more
subtle limiting while the 2005 with its extra gain hits much harder and closely resembles the sound of the
TG12345 console version of the Limiter. For more information on the history of these units please go to
the TG12413 Zener Limiter and TG1 Limiter pages on this site.
The TG12413 Limiter Pack is now available in all formats. Pro Tools HD, LE, and M-Powered, VST
and AU. Demo versions may be downloaded from the Abbey Road website at this address-

Purchase is avaiable from your favorite dealer or directly from Chandler Limited.
User Quotes-
"This new TG 12413 Plug-In underlines Abbey Road's commitment to both the importance of our heritage
and the highest standards of technical development. It also means that a small part of Abbey Road can be
invested into any studio anywhere in the world."
- Peter Cobbin (Senior Recording Engineer, Abbey Road Studios)
"I am super impressed with the Chandler/EMI plug-in. I've been raving to friends. It's become one of my
main go-to compressor/limiters. I just won a mix shootout on a couple of tunes that the artist had three
other guys mix. He commented on how much he liked what I did on the vocal. It was the Chandler plug-in,
of course. I love the tone and control, especially the limiter."
- Dave McNair (Producer)
"These plug-ins are really gorgeous... I love them. Sounds like a great outboard compressor. Rare for a
plug-in to speak like that."
- Greg Wells (Rufus Wainwright, Pink, Natasha Bedingfield)
"You want vibe, you got vibe. You want smash, you got smash. You want crush, you got crush. You want
smooth Beatles-like in your face compression. You got that, too. In a plug-in to get all this is unheard of.
The only thing better, is the real deal hardware, which I highly recommend, too."
- Ross Hogarth (Ziggy Marley, Keb Mo, John Fogerty)
"I finally got to try out the plug-in today and holy shit!!!! This is the most insane compressor plug-in that
I've ever played with. I really like the analog unit, but the plug-in is equally cool in a slighty different way.
It really blew me away. I tried it on a mono room track and almost had to nix my stereo room sound; It
took a lot of re-thinking to get them to compete with it."
- John Travis (Social Distortion, Wilco, No Doubt, Starlite Desperation)
"I just got the new EMI compressor plug in and first used it on a pair of Brain Wilson sessions. We
compressed the piano with the EMI and got that great pumped up sound from the 60's. On my next
session with a four piece rock band I used the EMI on the room mics for the drumkit and got a great
compressed sound, just the way I like it."
- Mark Linett (Brian Wilson- "Brian Wilson Presents Smile",
"Stadium Arcadium", The Red Hot Chili Peppers)
