Chandler Limited Launches TG2-500 – 500 Series Pre Amp/DI
A highly desirable pre amp and DI has gone inside the rack.
Chandler Limited’s TG2-500 has an Abbey Road heritage.
Chandler Limited announced that its acclaimed TG2 is now available in the form of the TG2-500 Pre Amp. Shipping now, it can be had for a street price of $995.
The new unit is an extremely convenient and compact way for producers and engineers to get the classic sound of the EMI TG12428 pre amp, a unit that was used in EMI/Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
More info follows, as provided by Chandler Limited:
Using the identical TG2 circuit, transistors, and transformers, the TG2-500 delivers 10 – 60 dB of gain and uses a coarse gain control and a fine gain control as found on EMI consoles. The unit provides 300 and 1200 Ohm input impedance as on the TG2, which the company’s customers have come to value.
Equally important, the Chandler TG2-500 delivers frequency response identical to the TG2. Additionally, the TG2-500 has the same high frequency bump and mid forward tone that users enjoy with the TG2, along with the warmth inducing distortion which contributes to its sound. The end result is a creamy, smooth tone with a surprisingly open, clear top end. The sound, as explained by many users, has the ‘warmth and punch’ of the Neve, but with a nicer, expanded top end.
