Chandler TG-CHANNEL-MKII Mic/Line Amp and EQ, Vintage EMI-Style Channel Strip, Single Channel, *Power Supply NOT Included

The Chandler Limited Channel is a recreation of several classic circuits and combines a TG2 pre amp section with an equalizer that was redesigned from an equalization circuit used in the TG12410 Transfer or mastering console. The mastering counterpart to the original "Beatles desks". Our version has been remade using original design information and circuit board drawings as provided by Abbey Road to ensure extreme authenticity, right down to the remolded TG-style pointer knobs.

The active portions of the unit use the same discrete amplifiers and transformers as in the TG1 Limiter and TG2 pre amp. The passive equalizer portion of the EQ is an all inductor design and offers sweet high frequencies with large inductor based lows, and a very high "Q" mid cut section. Designed to sound like a fine musical instrument instead of a modern surgical tool, it's sound is very comparable to Pultec and Lang program EQs but made from TG circuits. A simple description would be a TG Pultec with a TG pre amp thrown in.

Features

• Direct In: The DI bypassed the mic input transformer and plugs directly into the high impedance microphone circuitry.
• Input: Combines a 600 ohm mic input and 10k line input which is selectable with the line switch. A 15-position switch attenuates both the mic and line and gives a large range of control for both normal and not so normal uses.
  • Mic Gain ranges from -5dB to 65dB.
  • Line Gain ranges from -15dB to 55dB.
• Phase, mic/line, 48V and EQ switching
• Output: Functioning as a console fader, this control is placed between the input and output stages. Allowing for trimming the input signal, as well as allowing the user to run the input very hot for extra color without distorting the recorder.
• High Boost: A capacitor based high boost with 18dB of gain and a shelving characteristic. EQ points are 16k, 12k, 8.1k, and 6.8k.
• Mid Boost: An inductor based mid frequency peak with 18dB of boost and a high Q switch to sharpen the curve. The Q also sharpens the more you boost. EQ points are 5.8k, 3.9k, 2.2k, 1.8, and 1.2k.
• Mid Cut: A mid frequency EQ with 20dB of cut and 6 positions set with a very sharp Q. All inductor based and specifically designed to fix problems areas. EQ points are 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 850 Hz.
• Low Boost: The inductor based low boost has 20dB of gain, as well as both peaking and shelving characters. Like the mid boost, the Q of the peak sharpens the more you boost. EQ points are 50, 70, 100, and 200Hz for the peak; 100 and 200Hz on the shelf.
• Low Cut: This switch has 5 positions and is relatively gentle. EQ points are 30, 60, 90, 150, and 300Hz.
