Heritage Audio Grandchild 670 500-module

General

Following the sensation caused by the HERCHILD 670 and 660 in the audio industry, Heritage Audio has turned its attention to something of a rarity in this format: the GRANDCHILD 670. An analogue stereo Variable Mu valve compressor, fully packed into a two-slot 500 Series module. That elusive sound – the legendary Fairchild 670 signature – has never before been packaged in such an accessible form. Users who own both the Grandchild and other 500-format compressors, or even hardware Fairchild clones, consistently describe its character as being in a different league to most 500-series competitors – colouring the sound, but in that velvety-smooth way you’d expect from tubes, with a lightness comparable to renowned tube compressors such as the Collins or L2A2. For those seeking the classic Fairchild signature — that warm, enveloping ‘glue’ that effortlessly binds a mix together — but who don’t have the space or budget for a 19-inch rack-mount version. Equally effective on mix buses, in mastering and during tracking. Built by Heritage Audio in Spain, with the same precision as the rest of their range.
