Heritage Audio Herchild Next Gen 670N compressor

General

You’re already familiar with the HERCHILD Model 670, Heritage Audio’s flagship model that perfects the legendary Fairchild sound. And the GRANDCHILD 670/500 proved that the same warm sound could also work within the constraints of the 500-series format. The Heritage Audio HERCHILD Next Gen Model 670N is the logical next step. Rethinking the Fairchild based on all the knowledge gained, this time with the needs of the modern studio as the starting point – for the engineer who wants the sound, but doesn’t want the price tag of the full flagship model or to accept the limitations of the 500-format.

A Fairchild in your rack!

Independent per-channel bypass, advanced sidechain filtering and a carefully designed per-channel output gain make-up stage, based on the renowned transformer-coupled HA-880 op-amp – you’ve never seen this combination before in this segment. The output gain make-up fully preserves the soul of the HERCHILD 670, without ever becoming intrusive. For the engineer who wants the unmistakable Vari-Mu tone – the same signature sound heard on thousands of number one hits over the past seven decades – but cannot justify the price tag of a full HERCHILD Model 670, nor wants to be constrained by the limitations of the 500-format. Vintage soul, 21st-century reliability and accessibility, in an impressive 5U rack with tactile, step-by-step controls for every parameter.
