User Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette, you now own a piece of EMI / Abbey Road Studios official equipment.

The three sections of the TG Microphone

Cassette comprise Chandler Limited’s TG2

Pre-Amp coupled with a Curve Bender EQ section, and a TG1 Opto Limiter, delivering the historic TG sound with modern conveniences and flexibility.

Your Chandler Limited TG Microphone Cassette has been carefully crafted and built by hand at Chandler Limited in Shell Rock

IA, U.S.A, using through-hole components for the ultimate analog experience.

Installed in Abbey Road’s Studio Two in

November 1968 and making its debut on an

8-track recording by the Shadows, the transistorized desk marked a departure from the earlier REDD valve consoles. The EMI

TG12345 desk helped shape the sound of the

Beatles’ final album, Abbey Road, which was markedly richer sounding to that of the band’s earlier work. The sonic qualities of classics like “Here Comes the Sun,” “Come

Together” and “Something” would have been very different without the EMI TG12345.

Chandler Limited’s TG Microphone Cassette is a full-featured mono mixing console channel strip, incorporating elements of the historic EMI/Abbey Road Studios TG12345 recording and mastering desks of the late

‘60s and ‘70s.

The desk encountered many revisions throughout the ‘70s and became the main recording console used throughout the studios until 1983. The EMI TG12345 console

Marks I–IV were used on everything from

Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wish You Were Here” to John Lennon’s

“Plastic Ono Band,” George Harrison’s “All

Things Must Pass” to epic film scores including Raiders of the Lost Ark.

At Chandler Limited we are proud of our

American made products and we hope you like them!

The TG Microphone Cassette is powered by the Chandler Limited PSU-1 power supply. The

PSU-1 is an external power supply that can power two units and is purchased separately.

INPUT/OUTPUT

On the rear panel of the TG Microphone Cassette exists two sets of male and female XLR jacks (wired pin 2 hot), one for the TG2 Pre Amp/DI and Curve Bender EQ, the other for independent access of the TG1 Opto limiter.

NOTE: To include the TG1 Opto limiter in the audio path, a short XLR cable must be patched from the PRE AMP/EQ XLR output to the compressor’s XLR input.

LINK

The TG Microphone Cassette’s ‘TG1 Opto’ limiter is stereo linkable to a second device.

Via a standard ¼” cable, using the ‘LINK’ jack on the rear panel, simply patch the cable between two units

TG2 (Pre Amp/DI)

The TG2 section of the TG Microphone Cassette is adapted from Chandler Limited’s

TG2 Pre Amp/DI, an historic recreation of the rare EMI TG12428 amplifier employed in the EMI mixing and mastering consoles of the late ‘60s and ‘70s.

FINE GAIN

‘FINE GAIN’ is a variable control, adding an additional +/-10db available input gain, for a total of +70db maximum gain in combination with ‘COARSE

GAIN’. When gain staging, set this control to middle (0), and set the ‘COARSE GAIN’ first. Use the ‘Fine

Gain’ to variably fine-tune the input gain +/-10db.

TIP: Interactively using the ‘FINE GAIN’ with the ‘COARSE GAIN’ is a great way to dial-in pre-amp coloration.

Historical Note: The stepped ‘COARSE GAIN’ combined with a separate variable ‘FINE

GAIN’ control was how gain staging was achieved on original TG consoles.

The ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ control is a low cut mechanism, featuring six frequency settings (33, 41, 47, 65,

NOTE: The original ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ was a low cut circuit available via a jumper on the REDD.51 valve consoles. This ‘RUMBLE

30hz. More than simply a low cut or high pass, the filter has an effect on the overall signal and can be used as a powerful tone control.

Some microphones require phantom power. Depress this switch to enable 48 volts phantom power; use only for microphones that require it.

WARNING:

Only engage or disengage phantom power with the microphone already connected to the pre-amplifier. Disconnecting a microphone while phantom power is on may cause damage to equipment downstream. Never use phantom power with ribbon microphones.

DI

Engaging the DI button allows the TG Microphone Cassette to accept instrument level signal via the ¼” input jack on the front panel.

PHASE

The ‘PHASE’ button, when depressed, reverses phase of the input signal 180

º. This feature may be useful when a microphone is not ideally placed, a cable is wired incorrectly, or source material is out of phase.

When using the DI, the output signal will be available from the Pre Amp / EQ XLR jack on the rear of the unit.

LINE

Depress this switch to set the TG Microphone Cassette to accommodate line level signal. Apply the line level signal to the

TG Microphone Cassette using the pre-amp input XLR connector.

TIP: Sending line level source into the pre-amplifier is a great way to further process your material, adding the rich harmonic texture available from this historic circuit. Use a pair of TG Microphone Cassettes on your mix bus!

The ‘OUTPUT’ control acts as a fader would on a mixing console. Use this to control the overall output level of the pre-amplifier/

EQ to your recording device, or drive the input of the TG1

OUTPUT

Opto compressor/ limiter. When setting input gain levels, start with the ‘OUTPUT’ control set fully clockwise for unity level, adjust back as needed so as not to clip the targeted input.

Use grey TG knob to select the desired frequency (300, 500, 1.2, 3.6, 6.5 khz) to cut or boost, or set the switch to ‘OUT’ to bypass the presence control.

TIP: If you want to overdrive the pre-amp for wonderful crunchy tone, set the ‘OUT-

PUT’ control lower, crank the ‘COARSE

GAIN’, and use the ‘FINE GAIN’ to achieve just the right tone.

It is little known that EMI technical staff experimented with optos in their compression circuits. The TG1 Opto is an opto cell adaptation of Chandler Limited’s TG1

Limiter, a recreation of the historic EMI

TG12413 limiters found in EMI’s TG12345 mixing and mastering consoles of the late

‘60s and ‘70s.

Without applying signal (or bypassed), adjust the ‘HOLD’ knob to place the meter’s needle for the desired amount of compression (counterclockwise equals more compression).

The TG1 Opto should be considered a dynamic gain range reducer; it attenuates transient peaks while, simultaneously amplifying quieter signals.

More compression, narrows the dynamic range, conversely less compression will yield wider dynamic range.

WITH THE TG1 OPTO IN BYPASS, the position of the needle relative ‘0’ on the meter’s scale can be seen as representing dynamic range. In contrast, the position of the meter’s needle relative to the top of scale represents the amount of compression.

LINK

When linked to a second TG Microphone Cassette using a standard ¼” cable via the

‘LINK’ jack at the rear of the unit, the two compressor/limiters are controlled by which ever of the two control voltages is instantaneously the greater.

TIP: Rounded or soft knees are great in situations where compression is required to be less obvious, such as vocals and other melodic source.

TIP: When using the TG1 Opto independent of a second unit, be sure to remove any link cable as to not influence each other.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I power the TG Microphone Cassette?
The TG Microphone Cassette is powered by the Chandler Limited PSU-1 power supply, which is purchased separately. The PSU-1 can power two units.
How do I use the TG1 Opto Limiter?
To include the TG1 Opto limiter in the audio path, a short XLR cable must be patched from the PRE AMP/EQ XLR output to the compressor’s XLR input.
How do I link the TG1 Opto Limiter to another unit?
The TG1 Opto limiter is stereo linkable to a second device. Via a standard ¼” cable, using the ‘LINK’ jack on the rear panel, simply patch the cable between two units.
What is the difference between the 'SHARP' and 'ROUNDED' knee settings on the TG1 Opto Limiter?
The ‘SHARP’ knee setting is equivalent to ‘LIMIT’ mode on the TG1 or Zener Limiter, considered hard. With the ‘KNEE’ switch set to ‘SHARP’, compression, once triggered, will be full ratio. The ‘ROUNDED’ knee setting is of a soft type. The traditional soft knee is one in which, once triggered, onset of the compression ratio is gradual. However, the TG1 Opto limiter’s soft knee implementation functions independently of compression.
How do I use the Rumble Filter?
The ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ control is a low cut mechanism, featuring six frequency settings (33, 41, 47, 65, 82, 110hz). The ‘RUMBLE FILTER’ may be fully disengaged from the amplifier by setting it to ‘OUT.’ This feature is useful for removing unwanted low frequency information from the signal.
