Chandler Limited TG2-500 Preamp


The Chandler Limited TG2-500 is a 500-series adaptation of the Chandler TG2 mic preamp and DI, which itself is a recreation of the legendary EMI Abbey Road TG12428 microphone preamplifier used in the late ’60s and ’70s.

 

The Chandler Limited TG2-500 uses the same circuitry, transformers, and transistors as the original TG2 and delivers up to 60dB of Gain. Coarse and Fine Gain controls are also featured just as they did on the EMI consoles, offering a lot of flexibility when setting the gain.

 

In addition, the TG2-500 features an impedance switch letting you choose between 300- and 1200-Ohm’s input impedance to match your microphone or simply to add further colouration.

 

The Chandler TG2-500 delivers the same performance and the same frequency response as its sibling, including the mid-forward tone and high-frequency bump, adding natural presence. But that’s not all, the Chandler TG2-500 also produces the same typical warmth and distortion associated with its sound.
