HISTORY
The EMI / Abbey Road Studios REDD.47 line
amplier was rst conceived in 1958 as a re-
placement plug-in, all purpose line amplier cas-
sette for the Telefunken/Siemens V72s as used in
early REDD mixing consoles.
In 1958, EMI and Abbey Road Studios, through
their REDD (Record Engineering Development
Department) division, set out to design the next
generation REDD mixing console, the REDD.51.
The REDD.51 would be the last of the valve or
vacuum tube-based mixing consoles built by
EMI, and the only one to rely on the REDD.47
line amplier.
The rst REDD.51 console of only three built
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.
The REDD.51 console and its REDD.47 line
ampliers left their unique and exceptional sonic
character on Beatles records recorded at Abbey
Road Studios’ Studio Two during 1964-1968; the
majority of the Beatles’ catalog.

POWER
The REDD.47 Mic Amplier features an internal power supply. Connection is made using the sup-
plied IEC power cable. Power is preset internally to operate at either 120V or 220V.
CONNECTIVITY
On the rear panel of the REDD.47 Mic Amplier exists two XLR jacks, one for input, and the other for
output.
The XLR input is activated when the MIC/DI switch is set to ‘MIC’ or the up position.
Output signal will be available from the male XLR jack.
XLR jacks are wired pin 2 hot.
TUBES
The REDD.47 Mic Amplier relies on two vacuum tubes: EF86, E88CC.

MIC/DI
The MIC/DI switch allows the REDD.47 to function as a mic/line
amplier, or a tube DI. For line level applications, reference the ‘PAD’
section.
In the ‘MIC’ position or up, signal is applied via the XLR input at the
rear of the unit.
To access DI functionality, set the MIC/DI switch to ‘DI’ or down,
and plug your guitar or bass guitar into the accompanying ¼” jack.
DI access sends your signal directly into the heart of the tube. Us-
ing the REDD.47 in DI mode is similar to plugging directly into a VOX
AC15.
When using the DI, the output signal will be available from the male
XLR jack on the rear of the unit.
TIP: Start a REVOLUTION! One the most iconic if not unique guitar sounds is that of the Beatles
song ‘Revolution.’ John Lennon’s guitar sound was created without the use of a guitar amplier, by
plugging directly into the line amplier, overdriving one REDD.47 in another.
Overdriving the REDD.47 can be achieved in the following ways:
1. Use two REDD.47 units in series, overdriving a second unit with gain from the rst unit.
a. ‘Revolution’ style – via DI, plug your guitar directly into the rst REDD.47, and
patch the XLR out from the rst unit into a second REDD.47.
2. Using a single REDD.47, plug your guitar or bass directly into a boost pedal (Chandler
Limited Little Devil Colored Boost or other into), and from the boost pedal into the ¼”
DI jack.
3. Re-amp a source signal by applying a hot signal from your DAW to the XLR input of the
REDD.47.
4. Apply a hot source via microphone to the REDD.47.

VOLTAGE GAIN
The ‘VOLTAGE GAIN’ control is a stepped input gain switch, preset
in 6db increments. The gain range available from this control is ex-
panded to 16-52db from the original REDD.47’s 34, 40, and 46db.
Use this control to set the desired input gain. An additional +/-5db
input gain is available via ‘FINE GAIN SET’.
FINE GAIN SET
The ‘FINE GAIN SET’ control is a
stepped switch allowing for ne-
tuning of the input gain. The ‘FINE
GAIN SET’ oers an expanded
range of +/-5db available in 1db
increments over the original REDD.47 line amplier.
TIP: When gain staging, begin with ‘OUTPUT’ fully clockwise,
‘FINE GAIN SET’ at zero, and set the gain rst using the ‘VOLTAGE
GAIN’ control. Once the approximate ‘VOLTAGE GAIN’ or input gain
has been acquired, use the ‘FINE GAIN SET’ control to adjust for
optimum level, and color.
NOTE: When ‘VOLTAGE GAIN’ and ‘FINE GAIN SET’ are set fully
clockwise at the highest settings, the total input gain is 57db.
RUMBLE FILTER
The ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ control is a low cut mechanism, fea-
turing an expanded eight frequency settings (30, 45, 60, 70,
90, 110, 130, 180hz.) The ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ may be fully dis-
engaged from the amplier by setting it to ‘OUT.’ This feature
is useful for removing unwanted low frequency information
from the signal.
NOTE: The original ‘RUMBMLE FILTER’ was a lter
circuit available via jumper on the REDD.51 console.
This ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ was both unique in circuit
design and function, rolling o bass at 30hz. The lter
was applied after the line amplier, and before the
fader.
OUTPUT
The ‘OUTPUT’ control is variable, and acts as a fader would
on a console. Use this to control the overall output level of
the pre-amplier to your recording device or DAW. ‘OUTPUT’
set fully clockwise is considered unity level.

PAD
A 20db pad exists to tame hot input sources. To engage the 20db pad,
ip the ‘PAD’ switch to the down position. The ‘PAD’ is handy for taming
hot signals, or using the REDD.47 for in line level sources. Use a pair of
REDD.47 Mic Ampliers on your mix bus!
TIP: Sending line level source material into the REDD.47 is great way to
further process your material, adding the rich harmonic texture available
from this historic tube amplier.
To use the REDD.47 at line level, begin with ‘VOLTAGE GAIN’ at ‘16,’ ‘FINE
GAIN SET’ at ‘0,’ and engage the 20db ‘PA’.’ Apply source signal via the
XLR input, bring up ‘VOLTAGE GAIN’ if needed, and adjust the ‘FINE GAIN
SET’ for the desired color.
POLE
The ‘POLE’ switch reverses the input signal by 180º when in the down
position. This feature may be useful when a microphone is not ideally
placed, a cable is wired incorrectly, or line level source material is out of
phase.
48 VOLT
Some microphones require phantom
power. Phantom power is available
via use of the ‘48 VOLT’ switch, and is
engaged when the switch is set to the
down position.
WARNING: Only engage or disengage phantom power with the
microphone already connected to the pre-amplier. Disconnect-
ing a microphone while phantom power is on may cause damage
to equipment downstream. Never use phantom power with ribbon
microphones
