Heritage Audio HERCHILD Model 670
The Heritage Audio HERCHILD Model 670 is a high-end stereo Vari-Mu tube compressor that faithfully recreates the legendary sound of the Fairchild 670 for modern studio environments. Designed for professional recording, mixing, and mastering, it combines classic tube technology with enhanced control and flexibility.
Featuring a fully tube-based signal path with 22 tubes and 9 transformers, the HERCHILD 670 delivers an authentic reproduction of one of the most iconic compressors in audio history—enhanced with modern usability and precision control.
Sound Character
The HERCHILD 670 delivers classic Vari-Mu compression—smooth, three-dimensional, and highly musical.
Its program-dependent compression features a soft knee and dynamically adapts to the input signal, ranging from subtle glue to powerful limiting. The result is a dense, cohesive sound with exceptional depth and balance.
The tube circuitry and transformer design add harmonic richness, warm midrange, and an open yet controlled high-end—making it ideal for mix bus and mastering applications.
