Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV EQ The Chandler Limited TG12345 MKIV EQ is a fully discrete mono equalizer in 500 Series format, faithfully recreating the legendary EQ section of the EMI TG12345 consoles from Abbey Road Studios. It is directly inspired by the original EMI TG12345 mixing consoles of the late 1960s and early 1970s—used on iconic recordings such as Abbey Road and The Dark Side of the Moon. As part of the TG ecosystem, it can be combined with the TG2 preamp and TG OPTO compressor to form a complete analog channel strip. Sound Character The TG12345 MKIV delivers the classic “TG sound”—smooth, musical and punchy. Its tone is often described as silky and natural, similar to the Curve Bender EQ, focusing on musical shaping rather than surgical correction. High frequencies are open and smooth, low frequencies remain tight and controlled, and the midrange provides clarity without harshness—ideal for placing elements in a mix. Its intuitive design allows for fast, musical decisions, making it especially effective in tracking and creative mixing workflows.
