TTG MIC AMPLIFIER
Model TG2
Thank you for your purchase of the Chandler Limited TG2 Mic Amplifier. Your TG2 is handmade
and assembled with pride in the USA. This unit is made with 100% discrete components specially
wound transformers, and was designed to precisely match their vintage cousins. Included are
item descriptions and hints to get you on your way. Please feel free to call our shop anytime for
help or questions.
The Controls
Input gain control- Features a 1200/300 ohm transformer balanced input with 5-75 db of gain.
The fifteen position switch is designed to give better control at lower gains, with the first step being
+5db. Hopefully, avoiding the microphones pad.
Output- Functioning as a console fader, this control is placed after the gain stage and before
the output stage. This allows for trimming of the input signal between the 5 db steps on the input
switch, as well as allowing the user to run the input very hot (for extra coloration) without
distorting the recorder. In most cases this will be left in the full position.
Direct in- This is an unbalanced high impedance input for guitar, bass, samples etc. The DI
switch on the front panel can also be used as a mute switch when using the rear panel mic input.
It is important to note that this DI bypasses the input transformer and will give a different sound
than using a direct box and plugging in the mic input. You may want to try both types and find the
right sound for each situation.
Phase reverse- Reverses polarity of the input stage of the pre amp. Use this when using two
mics on the same source, such as guitar amps or snare drum, to avoid phase canceling.
48 volt phantom power- Power for condenser microphones such as AKG C414 and Neumann
U87. This will destroy ribbon mics, so use caution when connecting those types.
