Fairchild Recording Equipment Corporation

Fairchild Recording Equipment Corporation was founded by Sherman Fairchild in 1931 in Whitestone, NY. Fairchild started the company to augment his interests in photography and image projection.

Fairchild's products included amplifiers, preamplifiers, and a control track generator to synchronize tape recorders.

Fairchild's most notable products were the Fairchild 670 stereo compressor and its mono sibling the Fairchild 660. These compressors can sell for over $30,000 as of 2003. The original design was created by Rein Narma as he was building Les Paul's first 8-channel mixing console. The design was then licensed by Sherman Fairchild who hired Rein Narma as the company's chief engineer.
