The EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is the ultimate TG limiter issued in celebration of the 75th birthday of Abbey Road
Studios. The Zener Limiter was conceived by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke and is based on the vintage
EMI circuits used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. It continues the tradition of EMI Limiters started in 1954 with
the RS114 tube limiter and the 1968 RS168 Zener Limiter. The Zener Limiters were also part of the 1969 TG12345
console channel and the 1974 TG12413. This newest version borrows from the RS168 Zener Limiter and TG12345
console strip to make a new full featured and flexible unit for modern use.
The Zener Limiter is being reissued to add features and flexibility to the powerful and vintage sounding TG limiter circuits. Wade has added many new controls including switchable input impedance for hard of soft driving of the unit, 11-position attack, 21-position release, side chain filtering, and Comp 1, Comp 2, and Limit settings.

"What I heard was what I expected... Outstanding. Smooth and fat, from subtle to a mindblowing hurricane and everything in between. Really really great "
—Stephan Steiner, Audio Engineer, Switzerland
"This is without a doubt one of the finest machines on the planet. I can't believe how well this compressor glues the mix. I have tried just about all of them and I can tell the folks that nothing compares to it. Secret weapon (the THD switch folks)"
Hello Wade, Update on the Zener Limiter: "Silky, Ambient, Funky, Splashy, Gritty, Airy, Nasty, Super Glue, On Point, Solid, Smooth, Masterpiece, Work of Art.
What else could someone want? This is one of the finest compressors I have ever had the pleasure of using. It gets better each day. There is no sound I can't get from this unit.
My clients absolutely love the sound!"
—Earle Holder, Hdqtrz Mastering Studios
