Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV 500 Series Curve Bender Equalizer

Chandler Limited is the only company in the world authorized to develop, manufacture and market the “Official Equipment” of EMI/Abbey Road Studios. So if you want the rich, warm, punchy sound of the "Curve Bender" EQ used on the Beatles' legendary Abbey Road album and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon in the convenient 500 Series format, the Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV equalizer is the way to go. This handmade, fully discrete, single-width module draws its heritage from the channel EQs found on historic EMI TG12345 recording consoles of the late 1960s and early ‘70s. Featuring presence and bass bands with continuous boost/cut and true bypass, the Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV puts the sweet sound of a legend in your 500 Series rack.

Sweet broadband sound shaping

As a 2-band equalizer, the Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV is not designed for surgical sound sculpting. For broadband sound shaping, however, Sweetwater considers it in a class by itself. Its control set may seem minimalist, yet it offers a reasonable amount of flexibility. The presence band is switchable between eight frequencies and an Out position. The first seven frequencies, from 500Hz to 6.5kHz, are bell curves; the eighth is a shelf at 10kHz. The bass band is shelving, with two frequency options: 90 and 150Hz.

The sound of a legend

The groundbreaking sound quality of the EMI TG12345 recording console, dramatically richer and more highly detailed than the tube consoles it replaced, left its mark on legendary albums by the rock royalty of the era, including the Beatles and Pink Floyd, as well as solo outings by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. Never commercially available, the TG12345 desks were retired from service in 1983. But the legend lives on — in the Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV.
