INTRODUCTION
TG12345 MKIV
Thank you for purchasing the Chandler Limited TG12345
MKIV EQ module, you now own a piece of EMI/Abbey Road
Studios ocial equipment.
The TG12345 MKIV, inherits from Chandler Limited’s TG Microphone Cassette and agship TG12345 Curve Bender EQ,
and draws its heritage from the equalizers found in the historic EMI/Abbey Road Studios TG12345 recording consoles
of the late ‘60s and ‘70s.
The TG12345 MKIV 500 Series equalizer module derives its
model name from the last of the great TG12345 consoles,
the Mk. IV desk, and delivers legendary TG sound to the 500
Series format.
The TG12345 MKIV equalizer, accompanied by the TG2-500
Pre Amp and TG Opto compressor form a complete TG
channel strip for the 500 Series format.
Your Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV has been carefully
crafted and built by hand at Chandler Limited’s factory in
Shell Rock IA, U.S.A., using through-hole components for,
the ultimate analog experience.
History
Conceived from meetings in 1967 between Abbey Road
and EMI’s Central Research Laboratories teams, the EMI
TG12345 Mark I desk ushered in a sea of change in sound
and exibility at Abbey Road Studios.
Installed in Abbey Road’s Studio Two in November 1968 and
making its debut on an 8-track recording by the Shadows, the
new transistorized desk marked a departure from the earlier
REDD valve consoles.
The EMI TG12345 desks had EQ on the microphone, group
and main cassette channels. Compared to the REDD consoles, the TG desks featured expanded EQ, and for the rst
time ever, a compressor/limiter on every microphone and
group cassette channel.
The EMI TG12345 desk helped shape the sound of the Beatles’ nal album, “Abbey Road,” which was markedly richer
sounding to that of the band’s earlier work. The sonic qualities of classics like “Here Comes the Sun,” “Come Together”
and “Something” would have been very dierent without the
EMI TG12345.
The desk encountered many revisions throughout the ‘70s
and became the main recording console used throughout the
studios until 1983. The EMI TG12345 console Marks I–IV
were used on everything from Pink Floyd’s "The Dark Side
of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" to John Lennon’s
"Plastic Ono Band," George Harrison’s "All Things Must Pass,"
to epic lm scores including Raiders of the Lost Ark.
At Chandler Limited we are proud of our American made
products and we hope you like them!
