The Chandler Limited EMI Abbey Road Studios TG Microphone ‘Type L' is a solid-state large diaphragm condenser microphone and, as the name implies, the Type L is descended from the innovative TG Microphone. The TG Microphone Type L inherits the core circuitry, capsule and ‘Dual Tone System' of the larger TG Microphone, however, with its own unique voicings. The Dual Tone System modifies the input stage of the Type L and extends the versatility of the microphone to accommodate a greater array of sources. System ‘A' is TG mid forward and harmonically rich, whereas the ‘B' voicing takes extreme SPLs and is more pristine. The TG Microphone Type L is cardioid and intended as a utilitarian recording studio workhorse. The Type L is capable of rivaling scenarios where the C414, FET47, U87, U67 and C12 traditionally have found favor and may replace the practice of employing a dynamic and a ribbon in combination on guitar cabinets. The TG Microphone Type L is a 48V phantom powered FET microphone that has a larger than solid-state sound.
