Chandler Limited TG 2

The Chandler Limited TG 2 is a dual channel microphone preamp.  It is an analog unit that has XLR connections in the back and 1/4 inch connections in the front if you want to use this as a dual direct input box.  It is indeed a rack mountable piece of gear and will take up a single size rack space.

UTILIZATION

Using the Chandler Limited TG 2 is quite easy as even though there are definitely enough parameters on here, there isn't too much going on.  Each of two channels has knobs for input and output and also has buttons for phantom power, phase, DI, and for a filter.  This isn't too much and is easily operated, even if you don't have experience with this before.  As long as you know the basic parameters found on most pre-amps you won't have any trouble using the Chandler Limited TG 2 and for this reason a manual isn't necessary if you don't already ahve one.


SOUND QUALITY

As is the case with most of the products that Chandler Limited makes, the TG 2 has a superb sound quality.  It has a really full and rich sound that will present the sound of your microphones precisely and accurately.  It has a great deal of warmth in its sound and will work for just about any type of application, but especially sounds great with vocals and drums, among just about all other situations.  There isn't much more I can say about the sound of the Chandler TG 2 beyond that it awesome and is up there with the best sounding mic pres.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Chandler Limited TG 2 for about a year and whenever I have the chance to use it I always take advantage.  I love using the pres for snare drum as it gives it and anything else you run through it a really round and fat sound.  I've always been pleased with the sound of these pres and its great to have two of them within a single rack at a single price.  The price is of course not cheap and is probably out of the range for most home studio owners, but even if you are not a professional, this set is a great pair to invest in as a top end pre for your home studio.

USE

The grip is very easy for cons I would make a small complaint:
This preamp is super effective when they type in, plus it has a gain of + 75db therefore there is necessarily the reserve and can quickly be tent to go there, just there s nothing other than your ears to tell you that he may be a bit too in the process of sweating, so really would cool t Chandler put a small internal saturation witness just to say "hey careful you'll burn everything"
the manual says nothing about what the machine cash, it has just two examples of three settings according to the color desired, Chandler gives no information on their site, no technical data sheet I find a shame.

SOUND QUALITY

For microphones not really care answers the needs of different sources for the line I use a box that converted me an impedance line impedance mic, with or without a walk but there all on a relatively large THD which can quickly limit the applications, so that with this case dedant we return as if it was the microphone and thus coloring is more possibility.
sound and very transparent if we attack preamp normally on the other hand if we start down the release knob and fit that of the then between .....
warm front !!!!!!!!!
coloring becomes very present is c is huge !!!!!
very hot and electric "I love haaaaaaa !!!"

NOTICE GLOBAL

I used the depuit 6 months,
I think its wonderful grain both heavy and ar by against a shame that there is no witness ny saturation between, another downside of the switch and ass summation of the machine so when c is rack there is not very accessible.
I was able to compare a DMP vintage design, 1073 and other preamplies this range and my preference is really on the TG-2, I find that there is the same color but with a stronger bottom of the spectrum and a strong and better defines the possibility of having more grain than other models.
this machine is not to give is on but the quality has a price.
without any hesitation I would do this choice j espere same power achetter of other time (Drums that make a preamp with Chandler Hum ... the dream !!!!!)

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple to use. No need for manual ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is monstrous, great for guitars and basses for the voices, mixes .... Beautiful color signal. You can also choose to keep it transparent.
I also had a amek DMCL, I have kept that there.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month. Can not live without ...

See other view says it all does.

UTILIZATION

Everything is clear trs can work quickly (especially thanks to the gain knob Crant which reverts to a "preset" to a Previous making, I found a very practical).

SOUND QUALITY

It is simply monstrous. pramp this really the "uil * c * es" (pardon my language). Previous and notice can be quickly tried to really kick it but no matter because if the color you like this pramp dessuite has given a stamp making. I like ...

the game is really good DI; heavily on synths (Korg 900-ps test, juno 60 and omnichord suzuki) for my guitar to sound prfr crunch or distortion (for the clear I prefer my DI Phoenix Audio is less color in the lower mdium). not test the bass again.

this is the first time I really j'apprcie TLM 103! I find no micro tural personality and drive. But coupled with this pramp was immediately what his "place in the groove", low mdiums are beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not want to rate even if my view is more positive. we are in a CATEGORY pramp of high-end feel, but everyone must do his ide and I do not give it a rating.
only BMOL, prvoir space heaters because the power supply all of the same lot, and also makes you want to buy this pramp to possder more and also to test the rest of the range chandler ... (My bank does not agree ...)
