Caractéristiques
Le Lisson Grove R-124 est une réédition du compresseur RS-124 utilisé à Abbey Road. C'est une création relativement récente, et le studio où je travaille a eu la chance de l'essayer pour une séance d'enregistrement. Les caractéristiques générales sont assez classiques. Connexions XLR en entrée et sortie. Il est bien sûr rackable en 19" et occupe 2U de hauteur.

The Lisson Grove R-124 is a reproduction of R-124 compressor that was used at Abbey Road. As far as I know, this is a fairly new creation, and the studio I work at was lucky enough to have the chance to try it out on a recent session. The general characteristics are pretty straight forward – it’s got XLR connections for input and output at least, and I can’t remember if it also has ¼” TRS, but we hooked it up via XLR anyway. It is a rack mountable piece of gear and will take up two spaces in a traditional rack casing.
Utilisation
L'utilisation du Lisson Grove R-124 est très simple pour qui connaît les paramètres traditionnels des compresseurs. On y trouve les réglages standards de niveau entrée et sortie, ainsi que le seuil, l'attaque, et le release. Ce sont grosso-modo les seuls réglages, donc rien qui ne désorientera les utilisateurs expérimentés ou semi-expérimentés. Je nai pas vu de manuel pour le R-124, mais je n'en ai jamais ressenti le besoin.

Using the Lisson Grove R-124 is quite simple if you understand the basic parameters associated with compressors in general. It’s got standard parameters for input and output levels, as well as for threshold, attack, and release. That’s pretty much all there is to it, so experienced and semi-experienced users will certainly notice that this is a pretty familiar make up. I haven’t seen a manual for the R-124, nor do I ever anticipate needing to see one.
Qualité Sonore
Le son du Lisson Grove R-124 est tou simplement remarquable. Je nai pas eu l'occasion d'utiliser le R-124 original dont il est inspiré, mais je pense qu'ils ne doivent pas courir les rues, et encore moins aux Etats-Unis. Il existe une version plug-in du RS-124 conçue par Abbey Road Plug-ins, ce qui m'a permis de me familiariser avec les principes de la machine. Lors de cette séance d'enregistrement, nous avons utilisé le Lisson Grove R-124 compresser l'overhead de la batterie. Il ne s'agissait pas d'un overhead de batterie standard, mais plutôt d'un overhead additionnel, dans le seul but de l'utiliser comme un signal super compressé. Le résultat fut un son incroyablement chaud et parfait pour le mix final.

The overall sound of the Lisson Grove R-124 is nothing less than outstanding. I haven’t used the original R-124 that this is designed after, as I don’t think that there are many around and especially not in the United States. There is a plug-in version of this that is made by Abbey Road Plug-ins, so I was familiar with the R-124 in general. The one application that we used this for on the session was for compressor a drum overhead. It wasn’t for a standard drum overhead, but rather one that was put up in addition to the traditional overheads, which the sole purpose of using it as a super compressed signal. The result was an incredibly warm sound for blending purposes.
Avis Global
Le Grove Lisson R-124 n'est pas bon marché, mais c'est à priori le seul moyen de mettre la main sur un compresseur du style du RS-124 comme ceux utilisés par les Beatles et tant d'autres chez EMI / Abbey Road Studios. Le Lisson Grove est tout simplement incroyablement bien conçu techniquement et en plus il ne dépare pas dans un rack. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un compresseur top niveau pour votre studio pro, le R-124 est à considérer.

The Lisson Grove R-124 isn’t cheap, but as far as I know it’s the only way you can get your hands on an R-124 like those used by The Beatles and so many others at EMI/Abbey Road studios. Just the whole design of this is incredibly well done, and it really does look awesome as well. If you’re looking for a top of the line compressor for your pro studio, the R-124 is absolutely one worth considering.
