{"product_id":"chandler-limited-tg-microphone-cassette-368617","title":"TG Microphone Cassette","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom the 60s-70s TG lineage to a console cassette ready for today's studios\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chandler Limited \u003cstrong\u003eTG Microphone Cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the grand tradition of the \u003cstrong\u003eEMI\/Abbey Road TG12345\u003c\/strong\u003e consoles from the late 60s and 70s, renowned for their impact, density, and musical elegance. Rather than offering a simple \"tribute,\" Chandler Limited has combined three pillars of its catalog, each recognized for capturing the TG aesthetic: the \u003cstrong\u003eTG2 preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e (heir to the vintage \u003cstrong\u003eEMI TG12428\u003c\/strong\u003e), the \u003cstrong\u003eCurve Bender EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e (inspired by the TG12345 EQ), and the \u003cstrong\u003eTG1 limiter\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a complete \"console\" channel strip, reimagined to integrate seamlessly into a modern workflow while preserving the analog personality expected by engineers seeking character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA high-end channel strip for demanding tracking, mixing, and finishing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for those who want to \u003cstrong\u003eimprint a sonic identity from the recording stage\u003c\/strong\u003e, the TG Microphone Cassette excels on vocals, guitars, drums (overheads, room, snare), DI bass, as well as more delicate sources like strings and pianos when aiming for natural presence and solid foundation. In mixing, it becomes a color and dynamic control channel: quickly carving out space in the mix, stabilizing dynamics, and adding that typical \"finished record\" feel of high-level analog processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is suited for both professional studios and advanced home studios looking to step up: \u003cstrong\u003etransformer-based preamps\u003c\/strong\u003e, musical EQ, optical limiting, and console logic-all in a results-oriented approach. If your goal is a denser, more coherent, and more \"mix-ready\" sound without multiplying boxes and cables, this cassette is a particularly coherent solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTG2 preamp, Curve Bender, and TG1 limiter: a complete, modular, and musically formidable chain\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTG2 preamplification: gain, control, and a true palette of textures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe preamp section carries the DNA of the \u003cstrong\u003eTG2\u003c\/strong\u003e, based on the \u003cstrong\u003eEMI TG12428\u003c\/strong\u003e, with gain management designed to combine efficiency and precision. The \u003cstrong\u003einput gain\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches up to \u003cstrong\u003e+70 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003ecoarse gain\u003c\/strong\u003e in +5 dB steps (from +20 to +60 dB) complemented by a variable \u003cstrong\u003efine gain\u003c\/strong\u003e control. This dual approach allows for both clean, stable levels and more saturating, textured behavior depending on the source, microphone, and artistic intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe preamp offers the expected studio functions: \u003cstrong\u003eLINE\u003c\/strong\u003e selection, \u003cstrong\u003eDI\u003c\/strong\u003e input, \u003cstrong\u003e48 V phantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ephase inversion\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a switchable \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e useful for cleaning vibrations, proximity effect, or unwanted low-end energy before compression and EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCurve Bender: TG-inspired EQ balancing musicality and efficiency\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirectly coupled to the preamp, the \u003cstrong\u003eCurve Bender\u003c\/strong\u003e EQ offers a \"console\" approach: fast, intuitive, and effective. The EQ section combines \u003cstrong\u003ebass\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etreble\u003c\/strong\u003e controls with a \u003cstrong\u003eparametric midrange\u003c\/strong\u003e section to target resonances, bring vocal articulation forward, or emphasize guitar attack without harshness. The spirit is clearly musical: curves that \"sit well\" and a sense of width and depth particularly appreciated when seeking a silky high end and firm low end without heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTG1 limiter: optical control and character, usable alone or in stereo\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTG1 opto-limiter\u003c\/strong\u003e section is \u003cstrong\u003eindependently accessible\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing it to be used as a standalone dynamic control or finishing tool. On vocals, it can smooth out peaks while maintaining a natural feel\u0026#59; on a bus or stem, it can add sustain and density reminiscent of console hardware logic. For paired processing, the ability to \u003cstrong\u003elink two units\u003c\/strong\u003e for \u003cstrong\u003estereo operation\u003c\/strong\u003e helps preserve image and panorama coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, an important point for studio setups: power is supplied via an external \u003cstrong\u003ePSU-1\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003esold separately\u003c\/strong\u003e. This keeps the audio section focused on the signal while requiring anticipation of this need in your configuration (cabling, rack, power management).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emicrophone preamp\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRack unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e3 channels\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTG2 preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ereplica of the EMI TG12428 preamp\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eexternal PSU-1 power supply sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3-band Curve Bender EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ereplica of the legendary TG12345 EQ\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Chandler Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357246214419,"sku":"368617","price":4521.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/40b0ae0431b3f4220f9070e6a73ad87d103998f6_1CHANDLET_TGMC.jpg?v=1792529086","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/chandler-limited-tg-microphone-cassette-368617","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
