Originally designed for broadcast and cutting of lacquer masters for vinyl albums the Fairchild evolved into what is probably the most famous and coveted compressors of all time. Produced at the end of the 50´s there weren´t that many actually manufactured. Of those that remain, some 60 plus years later, only a small percentage have been properly maintained and are up to the job.
This lush, punchy, warm sound has blessed 1,000s of hits and has never gone out of style. On the contrary, it´s desired as much today as it was when released, if not more…due to the digital age we live in. There´s an ever increasing need for that analog mojo to caress your mixes and Heritage Audio has the answer with the HERCHILD Model 660.
