<h3>REDD History</h3>
In 1958, EMI and Abbey Road Studios, through their REDD (Record Engineering Development Department) technical division, designed the REDD.47 line amplifier as a plug-in line amplifier for their new REDD.51 consoles, replacing the Telefunken/Siemens V72s used in early REDD mixing consoles. The REDD.47 line amplifier was unique, both in design and sound from the V72s.
<br /><br />
The first REDD.51 console was manufactured in 1959. However, it wouldn’t be until 1964 before a REDD.51 console was installed at Abbey Road Studios’ Studio Two, home to The Beatles, leaving its exceptional sonic character on their recordings from 1964-1968.<br /><br />
