Please welcome the \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eHERCHILD Next Gen Model 670N.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage soul with modern capabilities, affordable power for your studio\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eWhile our flagship HERCHILD Model 670 recreates the legendary Fairchild sound to perfection, our GRANDCHILD 670\/500 also successfully achieves that lovable warm vibe, with the assumed limitations of the 500 series format. So…with all the knowledge acquired, the only step left will be to rethink the Fairchild with today’s studio needs in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eIndependent bypass, side chain filtering and a thoroughly designed output gain make-up stage for each channel based on our revered transformer coupled HA-880 opamp (that successfully achieves a non-intrusive output gain completely preserving the soul of the HERCHILD 670) are some of the never-seen-before modern additions to the Next Gen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eThe 6 Attack and Release times have been carefully thought to make it even more flexible than in the original unit. The progressive DC Threshold, combining control of the ratio and the knee (from hard limiting to a very smooth transparent compression).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003ePowered by the same NOS tubes of the HERCHILD 670 and six newly designed custom transformers, the Next Gen will infuse your tracks with rich analog warmth and commanding presence, while remaining remarkably quiet and transparent—perfectly suited for the creative demands of mixing and the precision and finesse of mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eIn short: The Next Gen will essentially provide the same sound quality of the HERCHILD 670, but with 150% functionality….. at a fraction of the price.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe king of compressors is now within reach of every budget\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eThe HERCHILD Next Gen is designed for engineers who care about sound and features but have a limited budget.
