Chandler Limited TG Microphone Type L

Full Description

Legendary EMI/Abbey Road tone

Inspired by the classic EMI TG12345 recording console, the Type L microphone brings the rich sound of Abbey Road Studios into modern recording setups. Designed with the same components found in the larger TG Microphone, it captures the warm, detailed character that defined legendary albums.

Ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, and amplified sources, the Type L delivers a vintage tonal character with modern clarity. Whether tracking in a professional studio or a home setup, this microphone ensures recordings with depth, warmth, and a distinct sonic signature.

Dual Tone System for flexible sound shaping

The Dual Tone System offers two distinct voicing options, allowing users to tailor the microphone’s response to different sources. System A provides a forward, harmonically rich character, ideal for vocals and instruments that need presence and warmth. System B, on the other hand, delivers a cleaner, ribbon-like response, perfect for detailed and natural sound capture.

With the built-in -10 dB pad, the Type L can also handle extreme SPL levels, making it a versatile choice for high-energy performances, from drum overheads to electric guitar cabinets.

Precision cardioid polar pattern

The Type L features a cardioid polar pattern, which focuses on capturing sound from the front while reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This makes it an excellent choice for controlled studio environments and live applications where isolation is key.

Additionally, its natural proximity effect enhances low-end response when positioned close to the source, adding warmth and depth to recordings. If needed, external high-pass filters can be used to control excessive low frequencies, especially when recording bass-heavy instruments.

Durable construction with premium components

Hand-assembled in the USA, the Type L is built with premium through-hole components to ensure long-lasting reliability. Its rugged steel body and anodised aluminium faceplate offer excellent durability, making it a dependable choice for both studio and stage use.

Included with the microphone is a high-quality swivel mount and a bamboo storage box, ensuring safe transport and convenient setup. Whether used for tracking, mixing, or live performances, the Type L is a professional-grade microphone designed to deliver outstanding results in any recording environment.
