At that time, EveAnna Manley was hired on to the VTL production team prior to Manley’s first professional products (Manley Enhanced Pultec, Manley Reference Cardioid, and Reference Gold). In 1993, Manley Laboratories, Inc. became a separate entity apart from VT; EveAnna took on a sales role. After Dave Manley left in 1996, EveAnna took control of Manley Labs after having worked her way up through the ranks. With EveAnna at the helm, Manley Labs began developing new products; some gone on to become industry legends.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"brand-description__row brand-description__row--reverse\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-media\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/manley_bottom_2.jpg?v=1787060108\" alt=\"Manley Labs\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-content\"\u003eManley’s channel strips offer high voltage, high headroom, and high fidelity. The Manley FORCE 4-Channel Microphone Preamp is composed of the best technology and strategies the brand has to offer. It starts with an innovative power supply featuring high voltage vacuum tubes, something Manley never compromises on. The strong Manley sound pays full respect to transients and delivers sonic excellence in just about every way.  Whether it’s the FORCE, the CORE, or the renowned VOXBOX, Manley channel strips and preamplifiers have versatile features, timeless style, robust build quality, and the world-famous Manley sound.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003eWhen it comes to studio-grade equalizers, Manley is magic. The interpretive versions of the classic Pultec EQ carry the essence of what put Pultec EQ on the map, but these models act as enhanced performers of the timeless EQ. In fact, Pultec pioneer Gene Shenk himself gave them the green light to create their own version. Unlike the original, the MANLEY ENHANCED PULTEC EQP-1A can run completely transformerless and has a superior power supply, with additional frequencies to tweak. Manley also has a unique passive EQ of its own known as the MASSIVE PASSIVE, a secret weapon that can add monstrous boosts without muddying up a signal.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"brand-description__row\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-media\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/manley_bottom_3.jpg?v=1787060111\" alt=\"Manley Labs\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-content\"\u003eQuite a few legendary pieces of Manley gear came from the ‘90s, but few compare to the Manley ELOP stereo electro-optical limiter. The revised ELOP+ behaves somewhat like an LA-2A, but  also builds upon the original ELOP that became popular in the early ‘90s. The added 3:1 compression ratio makes it perfectly capable of handling accurate dynamic control on a 2-buss. Like the Manley’s ELOP+, the sound achieved through the Manley Nu Mu is also strikingly natural and punchy. The Manley Nu Mu finesses dynamic control to bring up lower level details without knocking the life out of exciting transients. Manley excels at building a diverse collection of dynamic processors, so you’re bound to find a model suited for what your studio needs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"brand-description__row brand-description__row--reverse\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-media\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/manley_bottom_4.jpg?v=1787060115\" alt=\"Manley Labs\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-content\"\u003eManley’s reference microphones were some of the first professional products that bore the name. The Manley Reference Cardioid and Reference Gold have been around for quite a while, for good reason. The Reference Cardioid is considered a go-to modern tube microphone for today’s pop music artists and engineers, partly because it enhances every voice it captures. Manley likes to call it the “Just Add Talent” microphone. Its character is akin to vintage European tube mics such as the beloved U47. 27 years after the debut of the Reference Cardioid and Reference Gold, Manley added the warm and natural Reference Silver to the collection.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe dense array of recording, mixing, and mastering equipment offered by Manley is designed to make work a little easier. All models are flexible, powerful, and built to last. Every model from the renowned STEREO VARIABLE MU to the MASTERING MASSIVE PASSIVE is built in a stunning housing and features intuitive parameters for great control and the best analog performance in the industry. Owning a Manley product is a worthwhile investment that will undoubtedly serve your work, clients, and studio for years to come.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"manley-reference-cardioid-mic","title":"Manley Reference Cardioid Tube Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eManley Reference Cardioid Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e shares the same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series, but has a center-fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm.

Its rich tonal balance and liquid character is consistently admired for instruments such as guitars, drum overheads, saxophone, and especially vocals. With your present mic, if you find yourself leaning on your compressors and boosting 5 or 10K to score a bit more testosterone, then the Reference Cardioid just might be the mic you're looking for to cure what ails ya.

The Gold Reference Series employ Manly's own design of large capsules (1.25-inch overall, 1-inch diaphragm diameter) which are executed to precise tolerances made possible by modern micro-milling machinery available today in California. The capsule rings and back-plates are milled from solid brass. The gold diaphragm film comes from Germany and is tensioned using proprietary techniques by David Josephson ensuring capsule-to-capsule constancy, combined with the speed, \"air\", and superb ultra-high frequency response you have only dreamt about.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-tube electronics in the Manley Reference Microphones are built around two triodes in cascade forming an entire gain-block. They currently use a dual-triode 12AX7 tube, easily obtainable and replaceable, mounted in a ceramic socket. The output is coupled through a MANLEY output transformer of unparalleled quality and substantial physical size employing nickel laminations with \"hum bucking\" bi-filar windings, encased in mu-metal. The polar pattern control is continuously variable between the OMNI, CARDIOID, and FIGURE 8 positions vastly increasing this mic’s versatility. The Gold Mics make it possible to exactly tailor the proximity effect to achieve the desired character.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eManley have chosen a very open weave stainless-steel grille for the capsule window which allows all the highs to reach the capsule unimpaired letting the engineer choose if, when, and how much pop screen is appropriate. As a result, the Reference Gold reaches to the furthest extremes of highs and lows with gorgeous natural acoustic smoothness. Some engineers tell us it sometimes \"hears\" more than they do! A locking 7-pin XLR connector for the power supply cable carries the stringently filtered and regulated voltages from the separate dedicated MANLEY POWER power supply. The audio signal exits the PSU via a traditional 3-pin XLR jack. The microphone body is machined from brass providing excellent shielding properties, polished to a high lustre, then plated with 24 karat gold for an impressive finish, inspiring confidence in artists and producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eManley's proprietary precision suspension system is provided with each Reference Microphone (the capsule itself is mounted onto a neoprene-rubber shock-mount.) Because the entire working \"guts\" of the microphone may be removed for service in one piece from the housing, it is envisioned that the microphone need not be removed from the suspension. A very useful swivel is provided - its T-bar handle and locking clutch action require no tools to adjust. And no MANLEY microphone would be complete without a genuine leather capsule protector which slips (and ties) onto the end of the microphone to protect the capsule when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manley Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449228324967,"sku":"335","price":6499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/manley-labs-mono-gold_335_1.jpg?v=1787088222"},{"product_id":"manley-dual-mono-mic-pre-2-channel","title":"Manley Dual Mono Mic Pre","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManley's Dual Mono Mic Pre\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you two channels of huge Manley tone, and offers 40 to 60dBs of gain, so you have plenty of lift for most ribbon microphones.

It incorporates detented and logable 1\/2dB steps built with 1% metal film resistors on sealed gold-contact Grayhill switches is in full production.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDifferences and Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFirst off: no microphone preamps. You mastering engineers certainly don't need those. The mic pre and input select switch are removed and the switches become dedicated \"mode\" switches one each for the ELOP and the FET limiters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1) The ELOP limiter gets more Ratios - 10:1, 5:1, 3:1, 2:1 and something new called AutoHF which starts off as a 1.5:1 ratio and increases gradually to 10:1 for highs. This is something like a de-esser, and of course can work with the ELOP SC toggle at 200Hz for even more effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e2) The FET limiters get new modes that are 50%, NORM, LP Lim, BOTH, and CLIP.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"50%\" setting mixes in the straight signal to the limited signal which is often difficult to do in a mastering environment and because the FET sidechain 'reads' off the output, the amount of gain reduction doubles. It resembles halving the FET ratio but is cleaner due to the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"LP Lim\" setting only comes into play for hot signals and reduces the depth of gain reduction for high freqs. This translates to - hot signals + moderate gain reduction = brighter, more present signal, less distortion, more balls. This mode allows more high frequencies to pass through without being limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"CLIP\" setting introduces a fixed threshold clipper circuit set up about -2 dB DFS or +18 dBv at the XLR. Within normal usage \"CLIP\" generally prevents outputs from passing beyond +18 dBv, and 97% of the time, clips in a controlled fast-recovery manner before a converter would (in generally a less than desirable sounding way).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the \"BOTH\" setting on the FET limiter engages both the \"LP Limit\" and the \"CLIP\" functions at the same time. This might be appropriate for metal and projects demanding intense volume. The \"BOTH\" mode is designed for situations where extreme processing and loudness is required but where attack, brightness and aggressiveness needs to be preserved or enhanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e3) The LEFT blue erstwhile-\"limit\" button becomes a master stereo LIMIT bypass switch here in the Mastering Version. When it is not engaged, it becomes a true hard-wire bypass (This was not possible on the mic preamp regular version obviously).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e4) The Right blue button becomes the DAC select switch (stereo).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e5) The what-was-the-Phantom toggle on the back of the unit becomes the Unbalanced 1\/4\" jack input select in this new mastering version.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e6) There are no pots on the faceplate of the Mastering Version of the SLAM!

The Mastering Version of the Variable Mu Limiter Compressor uses expensive Greyhill rotary switches with gold contacts where conductive plastic pots were used. The steps are determined with a large number of 1% precision metal film 1\/2 watt resistors. The best conductive plastic pots only have 10% or 20% tolerance. The ten fold improvement in precision helps a great deal in left-right matching. There is a subtle audible improvement with stepped switches as well.

The tube circuit actually has 15.5 dB of gain. The Input attenuator at \"0\" removes 4 dB and the Output attenuator removes the last 11.5 producing \"unity\". With a little compression the \"gain make-up\" available with the Output Attenuator is very handy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Threshold is in half dB steps calibrated to LIMIT mode.

Anyone who has heard the classic Fairchild 670 Series limiters in action has an idea of this Variable Mu's capabilities - but the sound is even sweeter with the Variable Mu. Its adjustable attack and release settings are optimized for mixing and mastering, but are flexible for most tracking situations. Sonically versatile and dependable for daily use, the Variable Mu is Manley's best-selling device.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Variable Mu is not a clone of one, the Fairchild 670 series used a similar limiting principle and those who are familiar with that piece of gear know this method to be very special. In fact, with \"mu\" meaning gain or amplification factor, the Variable Mu offers true variable gain, unlike most devices. How it works is that the unique 5670 dual trioide is at the center of the peak-reducing and compression action - and it's constantly being re-biased by the vacuum tube rectified side-chain control voltages. This causes the tube to smoothly change its gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Varible Mu's Compress mode is soft-knee 1.5:1 ratio while the sharper knee Limit mode starts at 4:1 and moves to a more dramatic ratio of 20:1 when limiting over 12dB.

The mic input transformer is Manley's own design wound in-house at the Manley Labs factory. High-current 48V Phantom power is switchable from the front panel. A simple and effective passive BASS CUT switch kills rumble and reduces popping. The INPUT ATTENUATOR is a variable pad control situated before the first tube stage allowing the preamplifier to accommodate +4 line level signals via the balanced LINE INPUT and instruments via the front panel 1\/4\" DIRECT INPUT. These inputs are selected in the middle position of the dual-function phase invert switch. There is both a transformer balanced XLR output as well as a transformerless \"audiophile\" 1\/4\" phone jack output. The Gain switch is actually a clever variable feedback control that changes not only the gain but the slew rate and flavor of the circuit. With it you can choose how laid back and mellow or how up-front and aggressive you want it to get. Headroom is a strong point in this circuit with +31 dBu capable. This is 5 to 10 dB better than almost all other pro gear. The music passes through only super-clean pure Class A vacuum tube circuitry. There are obvious advantages to this purist approach and foremost is the un-electronic final sound that carries emotion into the digital realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eCOMPRESSOR SECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis cool compressor design takes the opto-isolator approach of the Manley ELOP Limiter to the max. The Ratio has been adjusted down to 3:1 to turn the ELOP into a compressor and added ATTACK and RELEASE controls for more versatility. What is clever is how the signal is compressed before it hits the tubes with no detrimental effect on distortion or frequency response. This way, it can prevent mic pre clipping and eliminate whole stages of electronics. This cuts the typical path of mic to tape in half! Manley also pioneered new thinking in the sidechain by using up to four different time constants simultaneously and controlling them with familiar simple attack, release and threshold controls - an approach called \"Parametric Compression.\" Manley developed optimum settings or presets based on the favorite Vactrols used in the fast ELOP Limiter, the quick LA-2A's T-4 module, the slower LA-3A and then created more complex special settings. This extended range and method of timing delivers fresh sounds from powerhouse punching drums to super-solid bass yet can also emulate the way good engineers delicately ride a fader while recording. It is transparent and liquid-smooth on vocals, easy to use and accurate. Also rare for an opto-based dynamic processor, this compressor works great on mixes.

Ever notice that only EQs with real inductors have the bottom end magic or that only Class A circuitry can keep the top end sweet? This is for you. The EQ INPUT switch patches in the Line Input, Preamp Output, or the INSERT return.

The fifth position gives you a limiter which totally mimics the famous LA-2A. This means you can both compress pre-EQ then limit here post-EQ.

The Massive Passive uses simple passive components and exploits their natural qualities rather than forcing a complex circuit to meet an arbitrary clinical or scientific goal. Manley knows that recording and mastering equalizers are used by artists for artistic goals and they balanced this design with a little more art than science. The Massive Passive is intended both for the most radical EQ sometimes needed for tracking as well as the most subtle shadings for vocals and mastering. It is designed to be a fundamentally different EQ but incorporates the best strengths of Pultecs, choice console EQs, parametrics and graphics. The difference is that the Massive allows twice as much EQ with half the coloration. It allows huge HF boosts without sibilance problems and unbelievable fatness without mud. This is unique.

In the Massive Passive, the \"Gain\" and \"Bandwidth\" controls do interact (on purpose). We cannot create a \"Gain\" switch that is set up for \"consistent\" 1\/2 dB steps. When you change the \"Bandwidth\" the step size must and will change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On the regular version, you get a full 20dB boost or cut only when: the bandwidth is fully clockwise (narrow) in bell mode or fully counter-clockwise in shelf mode. Here on the Mastering Version, this maximum boost or cut is 11dB. Conversely at the widest bell, the maximum boost or cut is 6dB and the narrowest shelf maxes out at 12 dB. A similar situation is also true for the bandwidth detents. So in this new Mastering Version, do not expect a certain dB change per step as it will vary according to where the bandwidth is set. But whatever the step sizes are, they will be repeatably 16 steps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Frequency select is already detented as it is and always has been a Grayhill switch. It also interacts in shelf mode. On a similar note, the Massive Passive is a \"parallel design\" and not the conventional \"series design.\"  This means the bands interact with each other too. It is possible, to set a band to boost 20 dB but if another band is boosting near or at that frequency, very little will happen. On a conventional EQ the two bands \"add\" and you would be boosting 40 dB into clipping. Because the bands interact, predictable step sizes are unrealistic, however, with the Mastering Version, you will be able to repeat settings (if you log them of course). The price paid for interacting bands, is a better sounding EQ and bizarre looking settings (on purpose). Unlike virtually every other EQ, the Massive Passive allows much more EQ without sounding \"processed.\" Where 5 or 6 dB is about all one could attempt with other EQs in mastering, the Massivo amazes engineers with how much EQ they can do and get more \"natural\" results at the same time. We could have squeezed 11 position Grayhill switches in the modules if we had wanted 1\/2 dB steps but then the maximum range would have become only 5.5 dB. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Remembering what we stated above, the minimum range would then become about 1.5 dB with approximately 0.2 dB steps. This approach would have essentially thrown away most of the useful range the unit is capable of. Going with these special mechanically detented knobs which use the same pots underneath that the normal Massivo uses, we get nearly all the range of the normal version, but with the repeatability of the detents. We have also custom tailored the Filters in the Mastering Version specifically for Mastering purposes, moving them lower and higher than the normal version, with mastering engineers specifically in mind. If you are looking for drastic effects (like telephone sounds) then get the normal version. These filters are really geared for mastering engineers. Additionally, the Master Gain Trim controls in the Mastering Version are true 11 position 1\/2 dB stepped Grayhill switches set up for a range between -2.5 to +2.5 dB of master gain trim. This allows more confidence in left\/right matching and calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIns \u0026amp; Outs Balanced XLR \u0026amp; 1\/4\" (accepts unbalanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLevel +4 dBu nominal, internal switches for -10 operation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHARDWIRE Bypass Switch (unit does pass audio when powered off)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e44 Frequencies (roughly 1\/4 octave spacing)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 22 Hz to 27 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEQ Boost\/Cut Range: Maximum 11 dB boost or cut\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Q range: 1.5 to 3 (uniquely active in shelf modes)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: ±2 dB: 8 Hz to 60 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output @ 1.5% THD +37 dBv; +26 dBv @ 20 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTHD \u0026amp; Noise (1 kHz @ +4 dBu): 0.06%\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNoise Floor (referred to +4 dBu): -85 dB (A Weight)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 120 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTube Complement: 2 x 12AU7, 4 x 6414\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePower Consumption (120\/240VAC): 72 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUnit is factory set for 100 V, 120 V or 220-240 VAC operation for original destination country's mains voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Mains Voltage changeable with power transformer changeover switch and fuse value change\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMains Voltage Frequency: 50~ 60Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSize (3U): 19\" x 5.25\" x 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Unit 21 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight: 27 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Manley Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449254277223,"sku":"295","price":8399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/manley-massive-passive-mastering_295_1_f8a32f43-2f2f-43df-8edb-e3007140b02e.jpg?v=1787088329"},{"product_id":"manley-mono-tube-direct-interface-w-eq","title":"Manley Mono Tube Direct Interface with EQ","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eManley Tube Direct\u003c\/strong\u003e models feature exceptionally clean and quiet tube circuits which will warm up any electric guitar, bass, violin, and especially those sterile sounding synths.

It works by using the \"remote cut-off\" or re-biasing of a vacuum tube to achieve compression. The precious vintage Fairchild 670 also uses this technique and is one of few all-tube compressor to do so, that we know of. Even the side-chain has glowing rectifier bottles. How’s it work? The unique 5670 dual triode is at the center of the peak-reducing and compression action constantly being re-biased by the vacuum tube rectified side-chain control voltages which cause this tube to smoothly change its gain.

Big studios, with big consoles, with banks and banks of microphone preamplifiers. With a console full of mic pre's available, it was easy to audition several microphones through four almost identical preamps. In today's world, however, most do not have this luxury. In a home studio, most people only own a few preamps and a few microphones. With a conventional patch bay, auditioning gear takes time - muting monitors, unplugging sources, re-patching, adjusting gain for the new microphone or preamp - and in this time, our memory for the sound we just had a minute ago (or more) has faded. We might recall a general idea (\"breathy\", \"boomy\", etc.) but we don't really remember precisely what we were hearing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With the MicMAID, this problem is solved. Four mics are plugged in, four preamplifiers are plugged in, and that's it. Hear any mic through any pre, any way you like. For each of the four signal paths, levels are easily adjusted and saved - this level-matching fixes the all-too-common problem we encounter when we just assume the \"louder\" signal path is the \"better\" signal path. Subtle sonic differences between pieces of equipment are now instantly perceivable, with a simplicity never previously available.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In addition to the four main outputs the routing matrix provides, there is a fifth output labeled MON\/REC on the rear panel. Although this is described as a \"monitor\" output, this output can (and should) be used for recording purposes - for it is only this output that utilizes the active components of the MicMAID. These include the level-matching capabilities and the Variable Phase section of the unit. When the continuously variable phase circuit is selected, it allows you to easily phase-align the selected mic signal (or the front-panel DI signal) with another microphone. This phase adjustment has an all-pass filter with two selectable center frequencies, making it useful on a variety of sources.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manley Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449382563943,"sku":"17576","price":2205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/manley_mic_maid_1.jpg?v=1787088792"},{"product_id":"manley-dual-mono-mic-pre-used","title":"Manley Dual Mono Mic Pre (Used)","description":"The Manley all-tube microphone preamplifiers are available in 2-channel\nor single channel versions, primarily intended for use with modern\ncapacitor (condenser) microphones.

The combo is the result of suggestions from our customers to combine two of the most popular Langevin products and make 2 channels of great sounding all discrete channel strips. Seem interesting? This includes VU meters, individual phantom power, limiter linking and time proven circuitry. This is an ideal box for musicians and engineers on a budget and is equally at home in a big league studio, mobile recording truck, or live gig. It has the reliability, functionality, and the sound without any of the complexity - the essential features without the \"sea of knobs.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mic Preamps are transformer coupled (hand wound by Manley Labs) with 50 dB of gain provided by pure discrete transistor circuits, same as found in the stand-alone Langevin Dual Micpre. 48 volt phantom power can be applied to each input XLR independently and the switches are a locking type to prevent accidents. New to this unit are the front panel 1\/4\" Direct Instrument inputs. A new little discrete circuit from our tech Paul Fargo gives these inputs an appropriate input impedance (150 kOhms) and provides about 40 dB of gain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Equalizers are comprised of a low frequency shelf that can be switched to either 40 Hz or 80 Hz and a high frequency shelf that can be set for 8 KHz or 12 KHz. Very tasty choices! These shelves are continuously variable from -10 dB to +10 dB of gain. Of course, the EQ can be completely switched out with the BYPASS switch making it easy to make a choice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Limiters are the discrete transistor version of the Manley ELOP® Limiter (same as the Langevin stand-alone version). This type of limiter is superb for vocals and a wide range of instruments from basses and guitars to synths and room mics. When it comes to tracking and fast set-ups, the lack of a multitude of controls is a real feature. You can simply set up the Threshold and Gain controls and expect that the limiter will do the right thing without a lot of tweaking. The Limiters have Threshold and (make-up) Gain controls, a Link switch for stereo and a pair of toggles that switch the VU meters to \"Gain Reduction\" or \"Output Level\". These are true stereo limiters without the usual problems of left\/right matching common to other stereo opto based limiters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe back panel has XLR mic inputs paralleled with 1\/4\" TRS jacks that feed the mic pre stage. By popular request we have added separate 1\/4\" TRS micpre outputs which \"normal\" into the 1\/4\" TRS limiter inputs so they can be permanently wired into a patchbay. Now there are \"Direct Outputs\" from the Mic Pre\/EQ stage so one can indeed use the micpreamps and the Limiters as 4 separate sections. The main outputs are available as either transformerless balanced XLR or unbalanced 1\/4\" Tip-Sleeve jacks.

Along with the typical cue mix or the control room mix, the engineer can offer each musician a fader dedicated to their own instrument. Experience teaches us that each musician always wants to hear more of themselves and that trying to meet this demand with several musicians and with too few aux sends is quite a mind bending challenge. As long as each musician's headphone is plugged into a separate station, each can have their own custom mix within arms reach. This frees up the engineer to concentrate on recording and getting the best sound and allows the producer to focus on performances because the musicians’ monitoring needs are met quickly and easily. It also frees up console aux sends so that they may be used for effect sends. With this station you will be able to offer musicians a better sounding headphone amp than most major studios and be able to provide some significant improvements over basic stereo cue boxes or any other headphone system we know of. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each HP-101 station provides 8 x balanced inputs: four mono channels with FADER and PAN plus two stereo feeds with rotary switches providing stereo, mono and SIM processing. This cool SIM setting monos the bass which makes it sound more like listening to real speakers.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Channel one has a PHASE switch, intended primarily for the vocalist. Voice is heard through the bones in the head as well as the phones. You may not hear much difference switching the phase in the control room but the person at the mic certainly will. Polarity gets inverted all the time in studios which may explain why sometimes the vocal is so loud in the phones or sounds different on playback to the singer. Our PHASE switch sure does come in handy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 8 inputs appear on ELCO multi-connectors, wired to ADAT standard, making linking or daisy-chaining several stations easy. We approach cable making as a custom order which means prices depend on length and quantity and connector choice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, a 12 channel version is available, the HP-112. All features are the same as the HP-101 8 channel model except there are 4 more mono inputs. Yes the HP-101 8 channel units and the HP-112 12 channel units can be mixed in the same installation as far as the ELCO cabling is concerned however, the 8 channel units won't receive signal channels 9-12 from the 12 channel units. (Duh.) All the rest of the functions (talkback, logic, Interrupt, Mic etc.) are 100% compatible between both models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Mute controls the Power Amps directly and steps through ON, MUTE, LEFT MUTE and RIGHT MUTE then back to ON. Each station also has bass and treble EQ controls carefully optimized for headphones. The master stereo volume control feeds the built-in power amps which produce peak voltage (equivalent to) well over a hundred watts per channel to drive up to 4 headsets at any volume the musician may choose.

This new EQ is based on the same passive EQ sections as the Massive Passive’s Low Band and High Band and shares most of the same components and circuit layout. The Mini-Massive is smaller at only 1U high and about half the price and includes some new features, refinements and a new level of clarity fit for mastering at its best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHutch re-visited the 4 lowest shelf settings, and the 4 highest frequency shelf settings, plus added new higher Q bell shapes for the 4 highest frequencies. This gives even more opportunities for Pultec-like fatness and beyond in the deep lows. The new high frequency curves are designed for air, sweetness and sparkle. Compared to the Massive Passive, the toggle switch that selects between Bell and Shelf, has become a 3 position switch, to introduce the new higher Q Bell curves on the 4 highest frequencies. These features give the Mini-Massive even more power and flexibility to achieve that elusive big round tight bottom and silky atmospheric top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mini-Massive uses 4 of the new Manley Rapture Amplifiers for gain. These came about in the long search for the cleanest and most musically involving gain stage we could get and were originally intended for a cost-no-object digital \/ analog converter. These are further augmented by both series and shunt power supply regulators, to provide a refined low noise power supply. Like the Massive Passive, huge headroom is available and the Mini will output +30 dBv balanced into 50 ohms. And rather than using unstable cross-coupled outputs to drive balanced or unbalanced loads, the Mini-Massive can accommodate balanced, or unbalanced +4, or unbalanced –10 loads, and each one is always driven optimally. It plays well with others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd for those who would prefer transformer outputs, there is an option for the same transformers as in the Massive Passive. These can add a subtle degree of warmth and smoothness by themselves. A 3-way toggle on the back panel (IRON) not only allows those with the transformer option, to bypass the transformer, or to use the transformers, or to force them into a more vintage-like flavor for even more fat and aggressive colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course, for those who want a Mono 4-band EQ only need to patch the output of Channel 1 into the input of Channel 2. The low band ends at 1K and the high band begins at 560. Shelf frequencies still go that far and still offer dramatic curves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mini-Massive is the EQ for those who consider the Massive Passive too big, too expensive, or too colored or maybe not the first choice for extreme lows or extreme highs. The Massive Passive was designed to be a tube EQ with character and with the creative potential of forgotten passive techniques. The Mini-Massive is a clean, lean machine, with the same EQ performance, and then some, where we wanted it most.

One that, plain and simple, sounded unquestionably better than the rest, provided flexibility, simplicity, and well thought-out ergonomics.

The mic input transformer is Manley's own design wound in-house at the Manley Labs factory. High-current 48V Phantom power is switchable from the front panel. A simple and effective passive BASS CUT switch kills rumble and reduces popping. The INPUT ATTENUATOR is a variable pad control situated before the first tube stage allowing the preamplifier to accommodate +4 line level signals via the balanced LINE INPUT and instruments via the front panel 1\/4\" DIRECT INPUT. These inputs are selected in the middle position of the dual-function phase invert switch. There is both a transformer balanced XLR output as well as a transformerless \"audiophile\" 1\/4\" phone jack output. The Gain switch is actually a clever variable feedback control that changes not only the gain but the slew rate and flavor of the circuit. With it you can choose how laid back and mellow or how up-front and aggressive you want it to get. Headroom is a strong point in this circuit with +31 dBu capable. This is 5 to 10 dB better than almost all other pro gear. The music passes through only super-clean pure Class A vacuum tube circuitry. There are obvious advantages to this purist approach and foremost is the un-electronic final sound that carries emotion into the digital realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eCOMPRESSOR SECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis cool compressor design takes the opto-isolator approach of the Manley ELOP Limiter to the max. The Ratio has been adjusted down to 3:1 to turn the ELOP into a compressor and added ATTACK and RELEASE controls for more versatility. What is clever is how the signal is compressed before it hits the tubes with no detrimental effect on distortion or frequency response. This way, it can prevent mic pre clipping and eliminate whole stages of electronics. This cuts the typical path of mic to tape in half! Manley also pioneered new thinking in the sidechain by using up to four different time constants simultaneously and controlling them with familiar simple attack, release and threshold controls - an approach called \"Parametric Compression.\" Manley developed optimum settings or presets based on the favorite Vactrols used in the fast ELOP Limiter, the quick LA-2A's T-4 module, the slower LA-3A and then created more complex special settings. This extended range and method of timing delivers fresh sounds from powerhouse punching drums to super-solid bass yet can also emulate the way good engineers delicately ride a fader while recording. It is transparent and liquid-smooth on vocals, easy to use and accurate. Also rare for an opto-based dynamic processor, this compressor works great on mixes. Of course, you'll be needing two VOXBOXes linked in stereo...\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eEQ SECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe EQ section features an expanded Pultec-style equalizer with 33 frequencies in 3 bands with 6 new frequencies from 20 Hz to 150 Hz, and 6 more in the highs from 6.4 kHz to 20 kHz. Ever notice that only EQs with real inductors have the bottom end magic or that only Class A circuitry can keep the top end sweet? This is for you. The EQ INPUT switch patches in the Line Input, Preamp Output, or the INSERT return. This switch serves double-duty acting as a bypass switch for the preamp and\/or external processors or for processing two different tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eDE-ESSER \u0026amp; LIMITER SECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by folks with admittedly large gaps between their two front teeth, the VOXBOX combo also includes a de-esser and peak limiter based on the original ELOP Limiter design but with an added passive LC network to handle the de-essing four carefully chosen notch frequencies from 3 kHz to 12 kHz (that 3 kHz setting really tames those annoying frequencies!). The fifth position gives you a limiter which totally mimics the famous LA-2A. This means you can both compress pre-EQ then limit here post-EQ. Another cool feature is the ability to insert this de-esser silently and smoothly as the music plays, using it as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eTHE METER\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe METER is a full size illuminated Sifam VU meter. A five-position switch shows three audio levels: the line input, the preamp output and the final output. It also shows compressor gain reduction and the de-esser\/limiter action. Other clever innovations incorporated into the VOXBOX combo include warm-up muting circuitry, extensive magnetic field containment, 'smart -grounding,' and silent switching. The sum-total is more than the separate parts: consider the reduced patching, the short path to tape and you having this much immediate control.

All BOOST and CUT controls are continuously variable conductive plastic potentiometers for absolutely silent operation and long life. Our single rack unit monoblocks occupy one-third of the space of the 'antique Pultecs', an important consideration for allocation of outboard rack space. And if you notice, we've added a couple extra frequencies too.

Our Manley Enhanced Pultec has a vastly superior B+ power supply, with regulated and balanced heater supply. Our line amp is known to be killer-sounding. The components we use today just weren't available 20 years ago. So, if you want a project with crackling carbon pots, dirty open frame wafer switches, 5% and 10% tolerance noisy carbon resistors, exposed tubes sticking out the back of the 3U chassis, etc., go pay top dollar for an antique Pultec!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMANLEY PULTEC EQP-1A,\u003c\/strong\u003e now available in both single and 2-channel versions, uses 1 x 12AU7WA and 1 x 6414 in our ALL-TUBE single-ended line amplifier for the gain make-up and extra-beefy sound; gain is factory set for unity but additional gain is available by a rear mounted feedback adjustment trimpot.
