The Chandler Limited EMI Abbey Road Studios ‘TG Microphone’ is a solid-state large diaphragm condenser microphone. Continuing the rich tradition of innovation, the TG Microphone is unique in its feature-set, isn’t a clone of any other microphone, and as the name implies, the sound is TG. The TG Microphone’s unique on-board EMI ‘Tape Equalizer’ section combined with its ‘Dual Tone System’, dedicated PSU and other features create an extremely flexible microphone capable of rivaling scenarios where the FET47, C414 and U47 traditionally have found favor. The Tape Equalizer is adapted from the NAB/IEC tape equalizer facility found on vintage EMI TG12410 transfer consoles or mastering consoles, and applied with great effect in the TG Microphone. Historically used to compensate for tapes played back on machines of the opposite standard, the repurposed tape equalizer allows the engineer to shape the sound at the source and mitigates the need for injecting equipment downstream. The ‘Dual Tone System’ modifies the input stage of the TG Microphone and extends the versatility of the microphone to accommodate a greater array of sources. System ‘A’ is what you’d expect, TG mid forward, while the alternate ‘B’ voicing is more pristine, takes extreme SPLs and is at home wherever a FET47 would be the choice. The microphone’s specialized Low-Cut filter in combination with Tape Equalizer work together to create a super-set of 5 additional tonal variations available from the mic. The Low-Cut filter is frequency selectable at 90 Hz or 50 Hz. Chandler Limited TG Microphone, EMI Abbey Road StudiosMuch like tube microphones, the TG Microphone relies on a dedicated power supply (PSU). The use of a dedicated PSU, rather than 48V phantom power is integral to the TG Microphone’s larger than solid-state sound. The TG Microphone makes use of multiple TG amplifier circuits, however, unlike the heralded REDD Microphone, does not feature an internal preamp. Other features include: cardioid and omni patterns, and a 10 dB pad. Shockmount, 25’ Mogami 4-pin mic cable, dedicated PSU, and wooden case are included. FEATURES Microphone Type Large Diaphragm Condenser Transducer Type Gold membrane, custom spec. Circuit Type TG, Solid-state Dual Tone System A/B voicing Tape Equalizer TG, 5 settings Low-Cut Filter Switchable— Out, 90 Hz/50 Hz Patterns Cardioid / Omni PAD 10 dB / Switchable Impedance 200Ω Power External, PSU included Mic Cable 4 Pin, 25' Mogami, included Shockmount Included Case Wooden, Included
REDD Microphone Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Mic with Onboard Preamp The Chandler Limited REDD Microphone is a large diaphragm tube condenser microphone, combining mic and preamp into a single, beautifully handcrafted professional recording device. Featuring the vacuum tube based REDD.47 Mic Amplifier circuit directly coupled to a custom handmade premium platinum membrane capsule, the REDD Microphone can be used with or without an external preamplifier. This unique microphone design provides the shortest possible distance between the two most important elements in the recording chain – delivering a larger than life full-bodied sound, with silky smooth top-end. The Chandler Limited REDD Microphone was designed to handle a variety of source materials, including: vocals, strings, piano, drums, bass guitar, electric and acoustic guitars. Features available from the microphone body, include: REDD.47 Mic Amplifier, providing nine gain selections, from +4 to +33db in the ʻ NORMʼ position, extended gain and punch in ʻ DRIVEʼ mode for more tonal and coloration possibilities, switchable Cardioid/Omni patterns, 10db Pad, and Phase reverse. Continuous output control and low-contour feature are accessible from the high-quality external power supply. Shockmount, 25ʼ Mogami microphone cable, PSU, and custom molded flight case, featuring high-density rigid foam, are included. Continuing in the rich tradition of innovation at EMI, dating back to the early 1930s with Alan Blumlein, the father of ʻ Stereoʼ , the companyʼ s first coil microphones, velocity ʻ ribbonʼ mics and the “Blumlein pair” technique, Chandler Limited and Abbey Road Studios introduce the first EMI badged microphone in over a half century, the REDD Microphone. Designed by Chandler Limited Founder and Chief Designer, Wade Goeke, the patent pending REDD Microphone represents a shift in traditional microphone design, bringing together historic circuitry and the heralded EMI REDD.47 preamplifier sound in a new and unique way. Visually, the aesthetic is unmistakably classic, an ode to a gilded age of audio; however, the REDD Microphone is not a U-Type clone or derivative of any other microphone. Rigorously tested at Abbey Road Studios on a variety of sources and against some of the most famous and classic microphones in recording industry history, the REDD microphone excelled. Features: Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone The first EMI-branded mic in over a half century Combines microphone and preamp in one elegant device Onboard vacuum tube REDD.47 mic amplifier Can be used without an external mic preamp Handmade platinum-membrane capsule Gain between +4 and +33dB (switchable on the microphone) Drive setting for increased coloured gain (+36dB max.) 10dB pad and polarity reverse switches Includes outboard power supply, high-quality spider-type shockmount, a 25-foot Mogami mic cable and custom-molded flight case Handcrafed in the USA

At the beginning of the FLEA 47/48 SUPERFET story we were trying to reach mainly one goal – to build the microphone with as similar sound character as the tube 47 version has but with all benefits of the FET technology, e.g. signal to noise ratio, a lower price ... The price is very important to make these microphones affordable for a wider range of users. It doesn't mean we build it cheap or we “impoverish” it somehow in quality. Construction is comparable with the most expensive microphones and we use old pure technologies like point to point soldering of all sensitive parts on a special base, output transformer with size and materials like in tube version, our F7 capsule skinned by skilled German technicians. All contacts and soldering pins are gold plated, output connector is made by reputable manufacturer – Neutrik. The passive components are meticulously selected and tested before they are used. The complete microphone is manually equipped and wired. The microphone heads are absolutely compatible with the FLEA 47, FLEA 48 or original U47/U48 microphones. The quality of the sound was always the priority to us, our microphones are long time tested in cooperation with famous sound engineers and musicians all over the world and only we were pretty sure the result is uncompromising we decided to open the door and revealed these babies. All measurements were verified by independent company to avoid any misleading information and results. When we look into the past, it's clear that the original U47 is the most wanted microphone ever in music industry. Sound of this microphone is amazing on almost everything – vocals, acoustic instruments ... Moreover, if you have a pair, you can realize A/B, X/Y, ORTF stereo techniques. FLEA 47 SUPERFET offers exactly the same, both cardioid and omni patterns. And having a pair of them opens the doors for all mentioned stereo techniques above. To keep your microphones safe, in standard packaging is our handmade oak wooden box for the microphone. The part of the standard package is also our heavy duty shockmount.
