Looking forward to trying one of these. Love the concept and their last mic offering (REDD Mic) has been my go to for the last year

Wow... love the dedicated power supply idea. What a great time to be alive for a microphone junky. Impressed by the price.

That's an awful lot of microphone. Like maybe 10 microphones in one? A lot to learn!
Anyone know when matched pairs will be available?

I must say that I'm a little surprised that anyone would be interested in a microphone with internal eq. So many of these threads are about using the right microphone and refusing to eq a mic to address it's shortcommings.
In all the threads about 67 style microphones for example a little judicious use of eq could make all the wav files sound identical but no one seems to want that.

If a manufacturer pre-eq'ed a mic to make it sound better without telling me I'd probably view it as being sub par minus the eq. OUCH! But you're not wrong. You do bring a very important point forward. And you are an expert. I yield to the gentleman from Denmark. |

I'm sure it's a great mic. Chandler build good things. Anyone of us could make up these tape eq presets in an equalizer and apply it to all our mics.

Do you reckon it's possible for you to make a long body LDC using your fantastic CT12 capsule where you could switch between a 251, 250, silver 414EB, 412, more modern 414 .  Cos that would be REALLY something to have!! |

Well Ward I just meant that perhaps my first post sounded harsh when I didn't mean it. I was just curious that people would desire onboard eq in a mic, and I do think Chandler make good products. The dedicated power supply is something I would do too. These days I'm pursuing more original ideas  |

I would think it would be great for engineers that have to travel a lot. If it’s a sound you like and find the eq useful, would be cool to just bring the mic instead of needing to carry outboard gear around with you.

It is an inconvenient place for an EQ, ergonomically, if you have a proper control room. But I'd give it spin for sure.

I was just curious that people would desire onboard eq in a mic It's not as though it's unprecedented in their mics given the Low-Contour switch on the REDD, but this adds a lot more complication vs the control on the REDD. It seems like the sort of thing that would have made more sense as a 500 series module. |

It sounds similar to what Lauten did with the Atlantis. In addition to the three polar patterns, the mic has a switch labeled F (Forward), N (Neutral) and G (Gentle). The F is a brighter version, the N I'm assuming is the sound of the mic with neither the N or G circuits engaged, and G sounds like it has a bit of a scoop in the sibilance frequencies. Having these EQ choices on a mic isn't a terrible idea but it seems redundant and I don't see the need for it although others might.

I like the "less is more" approach but we're living in an "all-in-one" era...

Tim I think everybody is hoping for the sound of the REDD at a lower price. |

I had the Chandler REDD mic for a week and found it every bit as impressive as a vintage U67, U47 or C12. For me, it was brilliant because it would save me from buying an expensive preamp if I want to get that kind of sound.
I have wondered if a producer with a high end board like a Neve, API or SSL might prefer not to have another preamp in the signal chain. I didn’t try it with the preamp turn down all the way, so I can’t really say if it’s neutral enough to use with a different preamp, but for me the thing sounds so damn good I wouldn’t want a different preamp on it. I have heard of a few situations where producers have chosen the Chandler mic over other heavy hitters, so it seems that it’s not really a problem having a preamp built-in.
I didn’t have time to check the full video out, does the new microphone have a preamp like the REDD ructions in the signal chainmicrophone does, or is it just an EQ kind of circuit?

Lol Chandler is just one of those brands that you just buy it and be done with it. |

TG color, Tape Equalizer is essentially a Curve Bender inside the microphone, multiple tones from a single mic and use on a wider array of sources to great effect; get the sound at the source, free-up your fancy external EQs for use elsewhere.

Hey there Tim, It’s the sum of the whole as a unit that is the TG Microphone; the Tape EQ is one component.

This is what I would call "Peluso money" but it says CHANDLER on the front, wow, I'm intrigued!
Curve Bender has some serious EQ DNA I'm looking forward to some sound samples!

I've never tried to match NAB or IEC curves using hardware. My first thought is I'd always leave this mic on IEC and I think this could be awesome for that. But I guess I could try to dial in IEC using analog EQs, does anyone do this?

Hi Christopher, to add clarity...The TG Microphone's EMI Tape Equalizer's settings are adjusted for the purposes of microphone capture. Secondarily, the Low-Cut filter frequencies act as an extended modifier to Tape EQ settings, and the Dual Tone System A/B above both features; another—overlooked—contributing element...are the multiple TG amplifiers and their role. |
