Oh... my... god... Pictured above is the one and only prototype of a future Chandler product, the Abby Road desk. More info and better pix in [this thread](http://www.gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?t=69971) on Gearslutz. If you were looking for a hardware definition of the word "sexy," I think this would fit the bill nicely. Rest assured it will be incredibly expensive.

omg. i think i just filled the cup.

On first guess that looks to be about 50,000 one dollar bills...

**Chris Randall** (2006-05-11):

At least. And worth every single penny. Dig the EMI-style reverse arc faders. This board is the shit. I'd love to record a band, specifically my band, through it. Now I just need a band.

i like the faders as well.. i think that's how you fire up the big gun on the 'deathstar' though.. so be careful!

$50K is a lot of coin. i'm sure it sounds great. i wonder how much an all line version would cost?

**benji** (2006-05-12):

I made my guess based on each channel having a 12413 comp/limiter ($1900) and a 12411 input ($2000) multiply by 12 and round up... Now that I think about it, maybe I should have rounded a bit higher.

Don't let that $50k get you down. I just read that Behringer is making a sweet special edition knockoff with special faders- a new technolgy called CP emulation (that's cheap pot) and a lightup tube for each channel that isn't actually in the signal path but will impress all your buds. It will be exclusively available though Musician's Friend and will cost $129.95. And they'll throw in a Budweiser custom guitar strap and a pint of Gorilla Snot pick grip enhancer.
