Set of 2 Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette Channel Strips

Set of two great condition units with very close serial numbers (#564 and #548). There is a little adhesive from tape on the top left corner of each unit (as seen in the photos) that I'm sure would come off with goo gone but not going to risk it. Outside of that, they are in very good condition as shown in the photos. I purchased from Vintage King LA back in 2022 for a Beatles/Britpop sounding project and haven't had any other projects that required them so I'm selling at a loss. Very low studio hours (under 40 hrs for each unit). Units come with their respective power cables and one power supply supply that will power both units. Here's your chance to get a set to these for a much better deal than new/b-stock along with a PSU.

The Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette Channel Strip is a full featured channel strip, combining element of the EMI / Abbey Road Studios TG12345 recording and mastering consoles of the late 60s and 70s. Get the iconic sound of Abbey Road on your music, whether tracking, mixing, or mastering with the TG Microphone Cassette.

The Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette finally delivers a true channel strip of the cassette found in the famed EMI TG12345 desk. Not simply a smash-up of the TG2 Mic Preamp / TG Channel, TG1 Compressor, and the TG Channel/ Curve Bender EQ, the Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette replicates the basic feature set found in what is an actual channel microphone cassette of the EMI TG12345 desk - but also delivers incredibly useful features, including the Rumble Filter of the REDD.47, changing the compression circuit to an electro-optical design, and separate access to the compressor from the rest of the microphone cassette. Chandler Limited's critically acclaimed , , and , each known for their remarkable reproduction of the EMI TG sound, have been combined to form the ultimate TG Microphone Cassette reimagined to work in a modern recording studio context.

Power Supply
This Chandler unit requires a power supply which is included. The PSU-1 has an internal switch for setting voltage to 120V or 220V (115V/230V) and can power up to two Chandler units.

Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette Channel Strip Features

• PRE-AMP:  The pre-amp section of the TG Microphone Cassette makes use of the based on the vintage EMI TG12428. The TG2 pre-amp section includes switchable coarse and variable fine gain adjustment controls for up to +70db overall gain, selectable LINE, DI, 48V phantom power, phase reverse, and switchable rumble filter (low cut.) The TG2 pre-amp section is coupled directly to the Curve Bender equalizer section.
• EQ:  The TG Microphone Cassette's equalizer section is derived from the famed and greatly expanded . The Curve Bender EQ section provides Hi and Low shelf, frequency selectable presence, output control, and bypass functionality. The Curve Bender EQ section is the second stage of the TG2 pre-amp section, and the EQ output control works as a fader would on a console.
• LIMITER:  The compressor/limiter section of the TG Microphone Cassette is a special adaptation of the tracing its lineage to the historic EMI TG12413 mixing and mastering console limiters. EMI technical engineers experimented with the use of optos in their audio compressors, and now for the first time ever Chandler Limited introduces the TG1 Opto Limiter. The TG1 Opto Limiter section of the TG Microphone Cassette is patchable apart from the TG pre-amp and EQ, allowing for independent use of the compressor/limiter on other sources. The TG1 Opto is stereo linkable to a second unit via a standard 1/4 cable. The TG1 Opto Limiter's feature-set includes: HOLD, Attack, Release, selectable sharp/rounded knee, output or makeup gain, and true bypass.
