■ Microphone Preamp, DI, EQ

The TG console at EMI/ABBEY ROAD studios perfected the wonderfully natural and organic analog sound found in the later Beatles albums and numerous Pink Floyd masterpieces. Even today, the beautiful vintage TG console sound can be heard in works by artists like Oasis. A major contributor to this sound was the original TG console's EQ. This EQ possessed a superb texture based on the renowned Pultec EQP-1a3.

The superb EQ design, based on an all-inductor design, perfectly replicates the original . This EQ consists of a sweet high (boost), an inductor-type mid-boost EQ, a precisely defined mid-cut EQ, and a rich, creamy low-boost EQ. It also features a selectable low-cut (high-pass filter), allowing for more versatile and colorful sound shaping than the original TG console. This Pultec-type EQ, possessing an unchanging, superb analog texture, is truly a pedigree vintage EQ. It luxuriously incorporates all the features of the legendary Pultec EQP-1a3, perfected in passive EQ design.

The ultimate analog sound achieved by the TG2 head amplifier is also incorporated into the TG Channel. It delivers an eternal vintage sound, combining the harmonic sensibility of NEVE with the warm punch of API. In addition to microphone inputs, it also features line inputs and instrument D.I. inputs, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

All the organic sound necessary for modern digital recording is contained within the TG Channel MKII box.

Operates with PSU-1 (TG CHANNEL dedicated power supply, sold separately).
