Chandler Limited

The device has germanium transistors, which enable a completely new, hitherto unknown variety of sound. Nowadays no other devices with the sound properties of germanium are produced. The incredibly soft sounding germanium transistors were also the basis of early transistor devices from Neve (1053, 1055, 1057), EMI (TG 12345 MK1), Telefunken and Fairchild.

People who are familiar with those classics can confirm the special sound of the germanium transistors. The germanium series has a very high headroom of + 34 dB. The sound is warm and soft, as with many vintage devices, you can, however, also achieve completely new sound characteristics with the preamp.

• New microphone preamplifier with germanium transistors
• Requires optional PSU-1 power supply

• Based on the EMI REDD.51 console preamplifier
• Tube (EF86, E88CC)
• +57 dB total gain
• Rumble filter, 20dB pad switch, phase switch
• + 48V switchable phantom power
• Gain 16 to 52 dB (Stepped), Fine gain: +/- 5 dB (variable)
• Transformer balanced inputs/outputs

• Model: 19" 2U

The preamplifier has a DI input, a microphone input and a line input. The maximum input gain is 65 dB, and can be adjusted with a rotary switch in 5 dB increments. The output level can be varied with a potentiometer, ensuring a clean sound enriched with harmonic distortions. Signals processed in this way are placed firmly into the mix.

The 4 band equalizer is based on a Pultec-like passive coil-based design with one high and one low band each, as well as 2 mid bands. The first of these mid-bands is responsible for the frequency boost, the second for the frequency cut.

The treble band of 6.8 / 8.1 / 12 and 16 kHz with a maximum boost of +18 dB. The mid-range boost band: 1.2 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 3.9 and 5.8, also with a maximum boost of +18 dB. The quality is switchable, and is lowered as the boost is increased.

The mid band for the cut is quite narrow, with centre frequencies at 300 / 400 / 500 / 600 / 700 and 850 Hz.

The bass band is switchable between frequencies of 100 and 200 Hz, and 50 / 70 / 100 and 200 Hz at the peak. The quality at peak is lowered as the boost is raised.

The high pass filter can be switched between the 5 frequencies 30 / 60 / 90 / 150 and 300 Hz.

Due to the passive filter technology of this equalizer the highs are very silky, the basses are deep and solid. Similarities with the Pultec EQP-1a3 and the Lang PEQ-2 are purely coincidental! A wonderful device with a lot of character!

The TG-1 Limiter represents the rebirth of the legendary EMI TG12413 limiter, an integral part of the EMI's own Abbey Road mixing consoles of the late 60s. The EMI TG12413 Limiter is one of the very rare examples of analog signal processing since it was never available for purchase and was only reserved for EMI's own studios. The TG-equipment has been used in many major productions, such as "Abbey Road" by the Beatles, "Darkside of the Moon" by Pink Floyd, or by Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones. The Chandler TG-1 is completely discreetly circuit-switched with transformer-balanced inputs and outputs. The control element is a rarely used diode circuit which is distinguished by soft, pleasant distortion products. The warm, open sound with a special clarity in the range of high frequencies is often compared by the fans with the Fairchild 670

• Completely discreetly designed circuit design of the legendary EMI TG12413 limiter
• Trafosym I / O
• Warm sound
• Comparable to Fairchild 670
• Optional power supply required (item no.185072)

The EMI TG12345 Curve Bender TG Equalizer was released on the 75th anniversary of Abbey Road Studios. Developed by Chandler Limited Designer Wade Goeke and Abbey Road's "senior engineer" Peter Cobbin. Based on the classic EMI TG12345 console, which was used for productions by Pink Floyd and the Beatles

• 51 EQ points and boost / cut function
• For up to 15 decibels boost / cut
• Suitable for recording, mixing, and mastering
• Connections: 2x XLR input, 2x XLR output

The Chandler TG2 mic preamp has evolved into the classic studio standard for microphone recordings of electric guitars in recent years. Both dynamic (e.g. Shure SM57, Sennheiser e906) as well as condenser microphones (Neumann U87, U47) or ribbon mics (Royer 121) can record a punchy, differentiated and noble guitar sound meeting the highest demands, which is present and dominant in the mix from the beginning.

The TG2 is also suitable as a preamp for bass drum and snare giving those instruments the punch and aggressive timbre known from countless records.

As vocal preamp it is suitable especially with the Shure SM58 for rock-like and loud vocalists who want to be heard. That is why the TG2 mic preamp can be found in all the major studios and is used by celebrities like Michael Brauer (Coldplay) and Michael Wagner (King's X Metallica) on a daily basis. Anyone looking for an "all-rounder" mic preamp for rock music will find it with the TG2.
