The Chandler Limited LTD-1 is a hand wired 1073 clone that has been remade using parts and build techniques from the original manufacture of the modules. Grounding, wiring techniques, original transformers and transistors, and much more attribute to the special sound of these units and have been painstakingly recreated in each LTD-1. In addition to the classic 1073 sound, Chandler LTD. expanded the EQ section by nine additional EQ points giving the user a much larger palate from which to choose your EQ frequency points. Features include high impedance direct in, 48v switching, output fader, EQ in/out, phase reverse, balanced mic in, balanced line in make this a great addition for both recording and mix applications.
chandler ltd-1 features
Mic/Line input sensitivity
This switch selects between the mic or line inputs on the rear panel, and attenuates the selected input. The right side of the switch is the line input which gives 30db of control over the signal. The bottom and left side of this switch control the mic input and gives from 20-80db of boost.
Equalizer
The LTD-1 features a greatly enhanced EQ selection that was
borrowed from consoles that were custom ordered by the BBC from Neve,
Calrec, Audix and others. It is a three band EQ that offers very good
coverage of the bands and very musical selection of EQ points. The
overall effect is the same great 1073 sound with about double the
selection and the ability to be used in more situations with greater
effect.
High EQ
This is a high end shelving characteristic with five selections.
16k, 12k, 6k8, 4k7, 3k3 (standard 1073s had only 12k).
Mid EQ
This is a mid frequency peaking characteristic with ten selections.
270hz, 390hz, 560hz, 820hz, 1k2, 1k8, 2k7, 3k9, 5k6, 8k2. (old 1073s had 360hz, 700hz, 1k6, 3k2, 4k8, 7k2).
Low EQ
This is a low end shelving characteristic with four selections.
220hz, 110hz, 60hz, 35hz. These are the same as found on classic 1073s.
Filter
This is a high pass characteristic with 3db loss at 300hz, 160hz, 80hz, and 50hz. These are the same settings as vintage modules.
Output
This functions as the fader on a mixing console. Use it to adjust between the 5db steps of the input or to run the input hot without distorting your recorder (for extra coloration). Most times this will be left at the full position.
Connections
All connections are transformer balanced with pin 2 hot.

Power These units are designed to be used with Chandler Limited PSU-1 external power supply.
The pinout is as follows:
- + 48 volts
- +24 volts
- -24 volts
All prices include the power supply which other shops [the ones with prices lower than Mercenary's] make you purchase as a separate item. Unless you're pretty handy and have 24 and 48 vdc floating around your studio, you're going to need the power supply. We're kinda lazy at Mercenary Audio, so rather than giving you the "absolute lowest price" then having to call you to remind you that you need to pony up additional cash for the power supply, we just include it in the price from the get-go. This saves everyone a time. If you really want a Chandler unit without the power supply, we can do that... but really, a smart man wouldn't do it and a lazy man wouldn't do it... and as an added pain in the arse, you'll need to call or email us to arrange that kind of special order.
