The Abbey Road Mic

The Chandler Limited TG Microphone is a solid-state large-diaphragm condenser microphone that carries forward the rich legacy of EMI Abbey Road Studios innovation. In addition to its cardioid and omni polar patterns, the TG Microphone employs a unique feature set consisting of an onboard Dual Tone System, EMI Tape Equalizer, 50Hz/90Hz highpass filter, 10dB pad, and outboard power supply to deliver unrivaled versatility and sonic character. Much like a classic tube mic, the TG Microphone's use of a dedicated PSU — rather than 48-volt phantom power — is integral to its huge, lifelike sound.

If you're coveting the sound of classic vintage microphones like the U47, U87, FET47, and C414 for your recordings, then you'll love the TG Microphone. In close cooperation with Abbey Road Studios, Chandler Limited developed the TG Microphone's unique onboard EMI Tape Equalizer and Dual Tone System that allow you to tailor the mic's tonality for results that favorably compare to the above-mentioned classics.

The Tape Equalizer

The Tape Equalizer circuitry is adapted from the NAB/IEC Tape EQ found on vintage EMI TG mastering consoles, and it works wonders in the TG Microphone. Originally used to compensate for tapes played back on machines aligned to the opposing standard, the TG Microphone's repurposed Tape Equalizer lets you shape the sound at the source, eliminating the need for further processing (and the attendant signal degradation) downstream. The sound-shaping possibilities are further extended when the Tape Equalizer is combined with the selectable 50Hz/90Hz highpass filter.

The Dual Tone System

The Dual Tone System modifies the TG Microphone's input stage and extends the mic's versatility to accommodate a broad array of sources. System A is classic TG mid-forward, while the alternative B voicing accommodates high SPLs and is the preferred setting wherever you would normally reach for a FET47. Combined with the Tape Equalizer, the Dual Tone System yields 10 unique voicings.
