Chandler TG2 Dual Mic Preamp w/PSU #003447 (Used)

The Chandler Limited TG2 Microphone Preamp is a recreation of the rare EMI TG12428 pre amp used in EMI/Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles used in the late 60s and early 70s. The sound was used on many famous recordings done at Abbey Road including The Beatles' Abbey Road and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The amplifiers were also used in many EMI circuits of the time. Chandler Limited's version was remade from original design notes and circuit board drawings, provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity.

This pre features the same discrete transformer balanced amplifiers as the TG series limiter and offers a creamy, smooth tone with a surprisingly open, clear top end. The sound, as explained by many users, has the Neve "warmth" and punch, but with a "nicer" expanded top end. In fact the unit does have a small rise in its top end frequency response and some warmth inducing distortion which contribute to its sound.

Chandler Limited is the only company in the world authorized to develop, manufacture and market the “Official Equipment” of EMI/Abbey Road Studios.
