Chandler Limited TG2 Stereo Microphone Preamp

The Chandler Limited TG2 is our recreation of a pre amp used inrare EMI/ Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles used in thelate 60s and early 70s on many classic recordings. This prefeatures the same discrete transformer balanced circuit amplifiersas the TG series limiter and offers a warm, smooth tone with asurprisingly open,clear top end ( dare we say nicer top than aNeve.....)

Controls include fifteen position input switch, output fader,high impedance DI, phase reverse, and 48 volt switching.

Input gain control- Features a 1200 ohm transformerbalanced input with 5-75 db of gain.

Output- Functioning as a console fader, this control isplaced after the gain stage and before the output stage. Thisallows for trimming of the input signal between the 5 db steps onthe input switch, as well as allowing the user to run the inputvery hot (for extra coloration) without distorting the recorder. Inmost cases this will be left in the full position.

Direct in- This is an unbalanced high impedance input forguitar, bass, samples etc. The DI switch on the front panel canalso be used as a mute switch when using the rear panel micinput.

Phase reverse- Reverses polarity of the input stage ofthe pre amp.

48 volt phantom power- Power for condenser microphonessuch as AKG C414 and Neumann U87. This will destroy ribbon mics, souse caution when connecting those types.

Warming up tracks- The TG2s warm, natural sound can beused to spice up already recorded tracks or even entire mixes. Justrun them through the mic inputs on the rear panel, set the input tominimum(+5db), and back off the output slightly to make unity gain.You may even want to run the gain at higher settings to add extracoloration (this can be fun).

Connection- All inputs and outputs are transformerbalanced with pin 2 hot.

Power- The TG 2 is designed to use Chandler Limited PSU-1external power supply (NOT INCLUDED). The pinout is as follows:

• chassis and b-
• +48 volt
• +24 volt
• - 24 volt
• • Input gain; 5 to 75db
  • Input impedance; 1200 ohms
  • Output impedance; 600 ohms
  • Maximum Output; +28db
  • Frequency response; Flat from 20hz to 3khz rising to +1.8db @16khz
  • Noise; -85dbm
