- Check out the sonic legacy that is Chandler Limited's TG Microphone Type L that is quietly, or not so quietly, redefining studio excellence.
As the newest addition to the EMI Abbey Road Studios lineup, this cardioid, large diaphragm condenser mic features the same core circuitry, capsule and ‘Dual Tone System’ as its older sibling, the TG Microphone. This system is controlled by a simple switch on the side of the microphone, which switches between voicing A and voicing B. What this does is vary the input stage of the microphone. There is also a 10dB pad.
Chandler Limited was born from the hands and mind of Wade Goeke who was building his own versions of equipment found in the legendary Abbey Road studios, formerly known as EMI studios. The studio loved what he was doing so much that they decided to entrust him to manufacture and develop the official equipment of EMI Abbey Road studios and The Gramophone Company. The Chandler Limited gear is made with the goal to recreate the classic Abbey Road audio equipment down to the original spec.
We had Beth Jackson in to sing on their track 'Skaties' that they’ve been recording here at Noise Machines. Voicing A is more what I would expect from a condenser microphone, it sounds bright and present, bringing a vocal forward with some nice top end shine. Voicing B on the other hand is a rounder, darker sound, with the tops rolled off a little more. Chandler has likened it more to the sound of a ribbon microphone. It’s great for a more vintage vocal sound but I can also imagine it really suiting some other uses like guitar cabinets or room mics. This function paired with a 10dB pad for handling high those SPL sources means that this thing can be a real workhorse for your studio.
You can pick up the TG Microphone Type L now for $1599 AUD at your favourite audio store. Like and subscribe so we can let you know about all the new gear that we’re loving.

Finally, someone else made a video! I havn't done female vocals with mine yet, it was a lot easier to hear the differences in the A and B setting with her voice.
Glad you liked it!
Looks and sounds like a keeper!
Wish I could hear this mic without reverb
I got a scooter
Should never demo a mic (or any gear, aside from perhaps a compressor) on vocals. Too much variance in voice types to guage what sonic qualities the mic/gear is imparting (also, countless styles/methods of vocal processing which will accommodate the use almost any mic, rendering mic choice on vox unimportant, perhaps even irrelevant).
Best to demo everything on guitars and drums.
Not impressed. Nothing special sounding .
