Chandler Limited TG2-500 Series Microphone Preamp

The Chandler Limited TG2-500 pre-amp is a recreation of the rare EMI TG12428 pre amp used in EMI/Abbey Road Studios recording and mastering consoles from the late �?0s and early �?0s. The sound of the EMI/Abbey Road Studios equipment is world renowned and imparts a unique and pleasing sonic character as heard on many famous recordings done at Abbey Road including The Beatles�?“Abbey Road�?and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon�?albums. For the first time ever, the legendary TG2 pre-amp sound is available in 500 Series format. The TG2-500 microphone pre-amplifier features the same discrete, transformer-balanced amplifiers as Chandler Limited’s TG series: TG2 Pre Amp/DI, TG Microphone Cassette, TG12411 Channel (TG Channel MKII), and TG1 Limiter. The microphone pre-amplifier and line amplifier have been taken from the highly acclaimed TG2 Pre Amp/DI and packaged or the industry standard 500 Series format, while retaining the sound of Chandler Limited’s TG2 Pre Amp/DI. The aural quality has often been characterized as a creamy, smooth tone with a surprisingly open, clear top-end. The sound has warmth and punch, but with a beautiful expanded top end. In fact, the TG2-500 microphone preamplifier does have a small rise in its top-end frequency response and some warmth inducing distortion, which contributes to its sound.
