Description
TG12345 Mk.II desk (1970s)
When transistors began to replace valves, EMI was at the forefront, 
developing the new technology into mixing desks. This EMI desk 
was massive compared to earlier designs, and had many more 
features than the earlier REDD desks. These models, built from 
1969 to around 1974, were the last of the EMI-only designed studio 
desks.

The TG desk was used on legendary albums such as Abbey Road 
by The Beatles and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.

The 'TG' in the name is an old handover from the pre-EMI days of 
the 1920s, when the label was called The Gramophone Company.

Microphones
Since the 1930s, microphones have been a key element in any 
recording session. They are the 'ears' of the studio, as they
transform sound into electronic signals which can then be recorded.
Abbey Road Studios' large collection of microphone is one of the
best in the world.

Vintage microphones are extremely valuable and prized by any
studio. Abbey Road's unique collection comprises a large number
of originals, spanning decades. It is a working collection, as the
microphones used on recording sessions today are often the very 
ones that have been used by legendary artists throughout the 
studios' long history.
