Any scoop on the capsule for this mic? Where is it made? I was reading the product info for the REDD mic and they brag on the capsule, but don't even mention it in the TG product info.

And you will not get the answer. Adam & Wade will not give out any info on it ... or even the tubes.
I asked if it was a platinum Haun but they will not comment

Indie had mentioned that there hadn't been any info on the REDD or TG capsule. I also happened to mention that there was also no info given on the tubes that come inside the REDD mic. |

Indie, & myself, were talking about the capsule of the REDD mic. I also happened to mention the tubes that come inside the REDD mic. Ahh ok. There was a sequence mishap in your guys' back and forth. He posted that Chandler brags up the REDD mic capsule but doesn't give any info about the TG's. You responded to that with "And you will not get the answer. Adam & Wade will not give out any info on it ... or even the tubes." |

It's proprietary...and while it would be easy to check and see if and when you got one, why - if you're the manufacturer - would you just freely hand that info out?

Yeah it’s not about fashionable labels it’s all about results. I trust Chandler as much as maybe anybody to deliver those results, which is a huge reason I'm really interested in this mic. |

I am a huge Chandler fan because I have a lot of experience with their products. I don't think they would release something without a certain standard. That standard is top notch! I know I'm getting quality and a warranty to back that up!

Quint Guitar guitfiddler jampa stormymondays Here's the first of some sound samples... hit the HD button and switch to 1080p and please put some headphones on or studio mains. Pattern switches and pad are on the sides near the head basket. There was quite a difference between the TG and the rest of the mics here. So, assuming these were all the same take, would the mic position placed on the speaker grill account for a lot of that tonal difference between the mics? |

The other mics sound like they've had the bottom end rolled off and I don't just mean in comparison to the Chandler which always sounds big ; the others sound wrong to me. Any skinny on this Spock.
So far i absolutely trust Chandler but this does't sound right to me.
Cheers, Ross

Cheers, Ross I know it's shocking (we all giggle,) however, the mics used are great specimens, the vintage U87 was in fact supplied by a well known producer. Nothing special going on here, it's just the way they sound on that source when compared; we also had the same experience when running around Nashville. The TG Microphone is powered differently from the vintage mics and has more extension; the natural disposition of TG Microphone gives the impression of being that much greater or larger. I will post a drums comparison video next week, again using this vintage U87 and same FET 47 against a pair of TG Microphones done at Chandler Limited, and also if I can fit it in a similar comparison done at Abbey Road Studios.  |

Can't wait to hear some vocal comparisons between the TG and a vintage 87!

I'm really intrigued by this mic and eagerly await reviews by fellow RGOers. But I'm confused why so many are shocked that a mic with BUILT IN PROCESSING sounds "better" than a vintage 47 and 87. We're really talking apples and oranges here, and to some degree A B comparisons are unfair. Perhaps Chandler has hit a home run with the TG's capsule, or the separate power supply will create a new standard for FET mics. But it could be that the uniqueness of this mic lies mostly in it's proprietary electronics, and that only time will tell if the TG becomes a great studio workhorse or a specialty mic.

It’s a total question mark for me. Got one coming though so I can give my $0.02 in the near future. |

From what I've heard it's going to kill it on all sources; still find it hard to believe there was no bottom end in the 87 and ,47 fet( a mic often used on kick).
Cheers, Ross

Hmmm...I hadn’t considered that. We’re talking EQ curve presets built into the TG, right? Maybe a more fair comparison would be the flat TG setting? Or apply similar eq curves to the other mics? |
