Anthony Demaria of ADL, speaks to Sound Pure Studios about the $20,000 Audio compressor that he delivered to Sound Pure Studios. The unit is based on a perfect replica of the legendary Fairchild 660 and Fairchild 670 (2-channel stereo compressor). The Fairchild compressor is often considered the compressor by which all others should be judged. Essentially, it is the de facto Compressor of the Gods. Unfortunately the few vintage units remaining are aging, possessing heat related internal issues, deterioration and other problems; original units are not only scarce but often times in very bad condition, and very unreliable. Therefore Anthony Demaria of Anthony Demaria Labs was focused and destined to bring this world-renowned, but formerly impossible-to-duplicate unit forward in to the modern world. 5 years in the making, this painstaking recreation of the original Fairchild 670 boasts 16 tubes and 8 audio transformers. All the tubes and audio transformers are spec-matched. The tubes are identical to the original, and the audio transformers were one-by-one duplicates custom made for Anthony through his own painstakingly laborious, many-year process of having these transformers duplicated to his spec. This two channel version is also available in a 1-channel unit that is called the ADL660. The ADL660 and ADL670 Fairchild replicas are available for purchase from Sound Pure, the premier dealer for Anthony Demaria Labs. Feel free to contact us to discuss this venerable acquisition to our studios, and determine which compressor might be right for yours. We are here to help and can be reached toll free at 888-528-9703.

ProTools 9 from Avid now features Automatic Delay Compensation after years of requests from ProTools LE users, which we demonstrate on a drum mix utilizing parallel compression, commonly known as New York Compression. Now you don't have to manually manipulate tracks or manually add delay whether you are inserting a plug in or outboard piece of gear- tasks that can be long and laborious. Pro Tools 9 allows all users to simply select a long or short delay compensation engine and the tracks are automatically fixed. This allows users to use any preamp, EQ, Compressor, Reverb unit, or any other piece of outboard gear without the hassle of fitting misaligned tracks into a mix. If you have any questions about this major new feature from AVID, call the experts here at Sound Pure. 888.528.9703.

Description:


There's no doubt that the original Fairchild 670 was and still is the "Big Daddy" of tube compressors. That's why people don't hesitate to pay over $30,000 for one if they can find it. Unfortunately, most of these units are getting very old and unreliable and don't sound as great as they once did. Well, what if you could buy a brand new one today...with a warranty...for substantially less!!! Can't be...well, guess again!!

Introducing the ADL 670, the perfect copy of the original Fairchild 670. After years of testing and research, Anthony DeMaria Labs has matched part for part the specs and sound of the original unit. Every detail has been scrutinized to perfection...no corners were cut. Yes...believe it or not, ADL has painstakingly sourced all the parts of this puzzle to offer a very limited run on these uncompromised, untouchable sonic giants!!! Many in the past have attempted to reproduce the sound of the classic Fairchild 670 but no one until now has taken it to the level ADL has with the ADL 670 compressor. With it's beautiful "military strength" chassis, stand alone PSU, 20 vacuum tubes and 14 transformers...it doesn't get fatter than this. Call ADL today to find out more. Somebody had to do it.

We also carry direct replacement parts based on original Fairchild 670 design. Please call ADL today for further details.
