Large-diaphragm condenser with EMI Tape Equalizer and two voicings

The TG Microphone is a solid-state large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed by Chandler Limited with EMI Abbey Road Studios. It is not a clone of any other microphone and, as the name implies, its sound is TG.

The on-board EMI “Tape Equalizer”, the Dual Tone System, a dual-frequency low-cut filter and a dedicated power supply make it extremely flexible, able to rival scenarios where the C414, FET47, U87 and U47 have traditionally been chosen. Powering from its own PSU rather than phantom power is key to its sound, which is bigger than you would expect from a solid-state microphone.

A microphone with a TG sound

The TG Microphone doesn’t try to imitate a classic microphone. It uses multiple TG amplifier circuits, the same ones that gave EMI’s consoles their characteristic sound, and adds tools that shape the sound right at the source.

The EMI Tape Equalizer

The Tape Equalizer is adapted from the NAB/IEC equalization of the EMI TG12410 transfer and mastering consoles. It was once used to compensate for tapes played on machines of the opposite standard. In the TG Microphone it shapes the sound at the source and reduces the need for processing later. Combined with the 90 or 50 Hz low-cut filter it offers five additional tonal variations.

Dual Tone System

The Dual Tone System switch modifies the input stage. Voicing A is the expected TG sound, mid-forward. Voicing B is more pristine, takes extreme sound pressure levels and suits anywhere you would choose a FET47.

Dedicated power supply

Like tube microphones, the TG Microphone is powered by its own PSU, which contributes to its big sound. It offers Cardioid and Omni patterns and a 10 dB pad, and comes with a shockmount, a 7.6 m Mogami cable and a wooden case.
