Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette

Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette – full-featured analog channel strip recreating the historic EMI/Abbey Road TG12345 console from the late 1960s and 1970s. Combines TG2 preamp, Curve Bender EQ, and TG1 Opto Limiter for that classic punchy, warm sound used on Beatles and Pink Floyd records. Ideal for vocals, instruments, and mixing in modern studios. 2U rackmount design with high headroom and versatile routing.

The TG2 preamp section offers mic/line/DI inputs with up to 70dB gain, phantom power, and phase reverse. Curve Bender EQ provides Bass (30-150Hz shelving), Treble (5-20kHz shelving), and Presence (2-9kHz peaking) for tonal shaping. TG1 Opto Limiter delivers optical compression with fast attack and variable release, independently patchable. Insert points on preamp and limiter for outboard gear.

Built with Marinair transformers and Class-A circuitry for authentic EMI vibe. Handcrafted in the USA, it adds depth and harmonics to digital workflows without noise or coloration issues.
