Thank you for purchasing the Chandler Limited REDD Microphone, you now own a piece of EMI / Abbey Road Studios official equipment. Continuing in the rich tradition of innovation at EMI, dating back to the early 1930s with Alan Blumlein, the father of ‘Stereo’, the company’s first coil microphones, velocity ‘ribbon’ mics and the “Blumlein pair” technique, Chandler Limited and Abbey Road Studios introduce the first new EMI badged microphone in over a half century, the ‘REDD Microphone’.

ON-BOARD MICROPHONE CONTROLS PRE AMPLIFIER The dedicated on-board REDD.47 Mic Amplifier (pre-amplifier) circuit provides the ability to use the REDD Microphone with or without the need for an external pre-amp. The preamplifier and most of its available features are adjustable directly from the microphone body.
POLE In cases where phase continuity relative to other microphones in the environment is required, an 180º polarity reversal of the output signal is achieved by use of the ‘POLE’ or phase reverse toggle switch available from the microphone body. When the toggle is set outward, to the circular or ‘O’ designation, phase is in its natural position at 0º. Conversely, when the switch is positioned to the left at the ‘ø’ designation, phase is reversed 180º.
The power supply (PSU,) supplied with the REDD Microphone kit is wired localized for regional AC, either 110V or 220V (115/230V, depending upon country of purchase. A REDD Microphone kit purchased in a region where AC is 110V (115V) standard cannot be used in 220V (230V,) unless it is modified for the correct operating voltage or an external power converter is used. NOTE: Some external power converters.
