The TG desk was originally designed in 1967 by Mike Batchelor at EMI Central Research Laboratories. In 1972 Batchelor was promoted to the position of Chief Technical Engineer at Abbey Road Studios. The TG desk, delivered to Abbey Road in 1968, was EMI’s first solid-state (i.e. transistorised console) and superseded the vacuum tube-based REDD range of desks.
The TG was the first console to include a limiter/compressor, EQ and metering for each channel, and the smooth, clean sound of the TG can be heard on legendary albums such as Abbey Road by The Beatles and The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. The EMI TG12345 MK III mixing console photographed for this puzzle is still in use on recordings at Abbey Road today.
