Resurrecting a revered microphone with new tricks for their EMI Abbey Road Studios line of products, the TG Microphone Type L from Chandler Limited is a large-diaphragm FET condenser mic that sports the bigger-than-solid-state sound and flexibility of its utilitarian workhorse lineage. Like the celebrated original, the TG Mic Type L features the Dual Tone System for two different input stages, but with modifications, for further versatility: System A gives you a mid-forward and harmonically rich sound for wonderful vintage warmth, while the System B setting provides a more pristine, transparent sound with extremely high SPL resistance.
The TG Mic Type L utilizes a cardioid pickup pattern for tight directivity and avoiding unwanted sounds to the rear and sides. The built-in -10 dB pad lets you reign in excessively loud sounds, eliminating distortion. The transducer is a custom design with gold sputtering for high conductivity and corrosion resistance. This microphone includes a swivel mount stand adapter and a bamboo hard case.
Conceived in 1967, the TG mixing and mastering consoles would see many revisions throughout the ‘70s before being retired from service in 1983. TG consoles were built by EMI exclusively for their studios and were never commercially available.
