First designed in 1960 by Abbey Road Head of Technical Bill Livey, Deputy Head Len Page and seasoned EMI Audio Designer Mike Batchelor, the EMI/Abbey Road RS124 compressor is one of the most coveted pieces of recording equipment ever developed.

Still in use today at Abbey Road Studios, though most recognized for its use at virtually every Beatles recording session in the 1960s, the RS124’s true inner-workings have managed to remain an enigma to recording engineers to this day. Through the years, from incomplete information and supposition, some have tried to recreate the RS124 compressor, though no one has ever fully realized or replicated this elusive signal processor - until now.
