For these most demanding engineers in our industry, we have created specialised products such as our all-tube tape repro head amps, digital converters, high-powered vacuum tube monitor amplifiers, through to custom monitoring consoles, all the way up to complete facility design and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIFFERENCES AND FEATURES First 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. 1) 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. 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FET limiters get new modes that are 50%, NORM, LP Lim, BOTH, and CLIP. The \"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. The \"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. The \"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). Finally, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"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. 3) 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). 4) The Right blue button becomes the DAC select switch (stereo). 5) 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. 6) There are no pots on the faceplate of the Mastering Version of the SLAM!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the knobs in the Mastering Version are discrete detented switches in mostly 1 dB steps, with some appropriate 1\/2 dB and 2 dB steps, right where they should be. More than that, we really like the way it works and sounds and we generally prefer it to the non-mastering version for stereo tracks.

These knobs are of our own design. They are a clever two-part metal design using a ball and spring detent system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey ensure repeatability and a good, positive feel, without the incredible cost and space problems tons of Grayhill switches would have caused. Some notes pertinent to the Mastering Version: The Massive Passive is a passive design and not a \"true parametric\". A true parametric implies non-interacting controls. In the Massive Passive, the \"GAIN\" and \"BANDWIDTH\" controls DO interact (on purpose).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversely 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. The FREQUENCY select is already detented as it is and always has been a Grayhill switch. It also interacts in shelf mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere 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. Remembering what we stated above, the minimum range would then become about 1.5 dB with approximately 0.2 dB steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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. The slopes are all 18dB per octave on the mastering filters except for the highest 52kHz Low Pass filter which has a 30 dB\/octave slope. If you are looking for drastic effects (like telephone sounds) then get the normal version. These filters are really geared for mastering engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Pass Filters: OFF, 12, 16, 23, 30, 39 Hz Low Pass Filters: OFF, 52kHz, 40kHz, 27kHz, 20kHz, 15 kHz 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. The gain change voltage divider occurs before the final tube amplifier stag and after all of the passive EQ circuits. The best advice is, before you decide - or even form an opinion - about whether to go with a normal or mastering version Massivo, is to use a regular Massive Passive for a session or two in your own room. We have seen in the past that the only engineers who have asked about a mastering version had yet to try the Massive. Using your previous extensive and intensive experience with other EQs may be a mistake, especially if you expect the Massive Passive to be roughly similar to them. It isn't. Please, try it first, then decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMASTERING VERSION FEATURES *All-Passive tone sculpting circuitry *Unique Shelf curves use the \"bandwidth\" control *Overlapping and Interleaved Frequency choices *Every band switchable to shelf or bell *Vacuum tube make-up gain and line drivers *Parallel symmetrical topology *Premium components throughout *HP and LP Filters *STEPPED GAIN trims -2.5 to +2.5dB in 11 steps of 1\/2dB each *Metal Manley mechanically detented GAIN and BANDWIDTH control knobs SESSION TEMPLATE - MASTERING VERSION MASTERING VERSION SPECIFICATIONS *Ins \u0026amp; Outs Balanced XLR \u0026amp; 1\/4\" (accepts unbalanced) *Level +4 dBu nominal, internal switches for -10 operation *HARDWIRE Bypass Switch (unit does pass audio when powered off) *44 Frequencies (roughly 1\/4 octave spacing) *Frequency Range: 22 Hz to 27 kHz *EQ Boost\/Cut Range: Maximum 11dB boost or cut *Nominal Q range: 1.5 to 3 (uniquely active in shelf modes) *Frequency Response: ±2 dB: 8 Hz to 60 KHz *Maximum Output @ 1.5% THD +37 dBv; +26dBv @ 20 Hz *THD \u0026amp; Noise (1KHz @ +4 dBu): 0.06% *Noise Floor (referred to +4dBu): -85 dB (A Weight) *Dynamic Range: 120 dB *Tube Complement: 2 x 12AU7, 4 x 6414 *Power Consumption (120\/240VAC): 72 watts Unit is factory set for 100V, 120V or 220-240VAC operation for original destination country's mains voltage. *Operating Mains Voltage changeable with power transformer changeover switch and fuse value change. *Mains Voltage Frequency: 50~ 60Hz *Size (3U): 19\" x 5.25\" x 10\" *Weight: Unit 21 lbs.

NO, we will not mod a \"normal\" unit to the Mastering Version. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Audiophile HI-FI often uses that technique to wring the last drop of performance out of a preamplifier. And I bet you wanted stepped switches mostly for resets. The INPUT LEVEL is a five position switch with a generic optimum setting of “0” in the 12:00 position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach step in either direction is 2 dB. For reference, Unity Gain is \"0\". The OUTPUT Attenuators are in half dB steps. Reference Unity is -11.5 or fully counter-clockwise. You might think of these as \"gain makeup\". They are marked technically, in that “0” or fully clockwise has zero attenuation in the circuit. 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\n\u003cp\u003eThe Threshold is in half dB steps calibrated to LIMIT mode. In Compress the steps are approximately 1\/4 dB. There are 24 steps so LIMIT gets a 12 dB range and Compress has a 6 dB range of adjustment. In some cases it is common to use the Input Attenuator to find a good starting point. Some Mastering engineers find using the combination of Input, Output and Threshold to achieve a little different \"drive\". Another good reason for stepped gains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Attack Time has been slightly extended in both directions compared to a regular Variable Mu and divided into 11 steps. The Recovery 5 position switch is exactly the same as a regular Variable Mu. The switches specifically are like this: Input: -4 to +4 in 2 dB steps Output: -11 to 0 in 1\/2 dB steps (24 detents) Threshold: -11 to +1 in 1\/2 dB steps LIMIT(24 detents) and 24 x 1\/4 dB steps in COMPRESS Attack: 11 positions CW (fast) 15mS, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90mS (slow) CCW Release: 5 positions CW (fast) 200mS, 400mS, 600mS, 4S, 8 Seconds (slow) CCW CUSTOM MODIFICATIONS HIGH PASS SIDE CHAIN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis modification comes stock on all Manley Variable Mu Limiter Compressors since 12\/2009, on both regular and mastering versions. This mod adds two switches to the front panel, one for each channel, so that when engaged, the side chain will not respond to frequencies lower than 100Hz. (We standardly use 100Hz as the -3dB point. Other frequencies can be custom ordered.) This HP SC Mod can be used with music with heavy bass lines or bass-heavy mixes where you don't want the bass driving the whole action of the compressor. The filter is a very gentle 6db per octave 1 pole filter, and will typically be down 1-3db at 100 Hz, and down 4-6db at 50Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you decrease the frequency the amount of limiting will decrease also. At the extreme LF (\u0026lt;20Hz) there should be very little gain reduction going on. The whole intent of the filter is to keep very LF stuff (like a heavy kick drum) from activating the compression\/limiting so that the overall level doesn't duck with every drumbeat. We can add the High Pass Side Chain option stock boards for an extra $350 NET (or $200 as a kit) to older Manley Variable Mu limiters. THE T-BAR MODIFICATION Backstory: The newer Variable Mu units use 5670 tubes instead of the 6386.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy now the availability of the original USA GE 6386 is poor; we don't have any left at all, and what we do have are not usable due to noise, microphonics, bad side-to-side match, etc. So does the 5670 sound different? Well, up to about 6db of limiting it's about the same. After that point, the 5670 version tends to sound more \"squashed\" than the original 6386 version. Some like it better, some don't - depends on what you're trying to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo solve all these problems, Paul came up with a really good solution: the T-Bar Mod. This uses a pair of 6BA6 pentodes wired as single triodes to replace each dual triode 5670 (or 6386). The 6BA6 T-Bar Mod is the preferred system to use in the Manley Variable Mu® for reasons of ability to perfectly match each phase-halve section and each stereo set, ability to select for lo-noise and lo-microphonic sets for a low cost, and because the action of the 6BA6's so closely resemble the smooth 6386 limiting curves. We can add the T-bar mod to your Variable Mu unit for $500 NET (or $300 as a kit). MID\/SIDE (a.k.a. Vertical\/Lateral, or Sum\/Difference) This modification opens the door to stereo encoding and decoding as well as exciting image enhancement processing capabilities. For instance, setting to compress only the in-phase information allows the augmentation of the stereo image as the out-of-phase content is left untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr, conversely, if you need a \"more-mono\" mix for broadcast, or vinyl-cutting for instance, you can set it to kill off more of the out-of-phase info which leaves more in-phase material in the final result. Read more about the MS Mod on page 12 of the Owner's Manual. Total mod cost for the M-S option is $800 NET added to the base cost. In order to add both M-S and the HP SC mods, we move the power switch to the rear panel and install both channels' HP SC switch to the center hole where the power switch was. The M-S switches then flank this switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*MANLEY input \u0026amp; output transformers with nickel laminations in mu-metal cases with flat frequency response from 20Hz-25KHz *BALANCED INPUTS \u0026amp; OUTPUTS (600 Ohms) *Fully differential ALL-TUBE circuitry using one each 5670, 5751 (or 12AX7), 7044 (or 5687), \u0026amp; 12AL5 per channel *Independently regulated B+ and Heater supplies *Hard-wire BYPASS switch *Stepped switch INPUT attenuator as of 10\/2011.

The Gold Reference Series employ our 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\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-tube electronics in the MANLEY REFERENCE SERIES MICROPHONES are built around two triodes in cascade forming an entire gain-block. We have recently switched to a dual-triode 12AT7 tube, easily obtainable and replaceable, mounted in a ceramic socket. (We originally used 6072A until it became impossible to find quiet ones out of the NOS dreck left on the market, then we used 12AX7 for awhile.) 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\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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!

This distinctive capsule is the heart of the rich and creamy tone that the Manley Reference Silver Mic delivers today, and reliably with a five year factory warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old SONY mics are super-rare at this point, if you can find a decent working example of one! Inside the mic, we are using a different circuit from our other two microphones. The fragile high impedance signal from the capsule first hits a FET sitting underneath the 5670 vacuum tube’s cathode which then amplifies the signal into a more robust voltage that our hand-wound Manley IRON® microphone output transformer sends out to your microphone preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput level from this mic is a wee bit lower compared to our other two microphones, but after careful consideration coming through the Beta-testing phase of development, we decided to leave it there as this mic will find a forever-home in front of your loudest instruments such as snare drum, guitars, and toms. It's a real natural there! Sonic character of the Reference Silver is on the rich and warm side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find this microphone stunning with female vocals and saxophones, with a round character that is never sibilant or boxy. A brass section will sound rich and cohesive. This microphone with its bountiful and warm middle tonality also is a natural for drum overheads where you might have too much brightness off the cymbals from other microphones.

Numerous listening comparisons again prove the sonic superiority of this power supply. All lines are regulated, all rails come out at super-low impedance, and there is zero 50\/60 Hz ripple component present in the chassis as the module runs at a much higher frequency well above the audible range. It is an efficient design in the high 90th percentile, and it functions it any mains input voltage from 90 to 250 V AC meaning no reconfiguration is necessary when traveling around the world.

The SLAM! is jammed with tubes, transformers, technology, and tricks. Get it in, and get it LOUD. SLAM! stands for \"Stereo Limiter And Micpre\" and it pretty much describes what it will do to most VU meters. We had to put a switch on this limiter to drop its internal VU meters down 3 \u0026amp; 6dB to keep the poor little needles from bending– it'll get LOUD fast (hence the exclamation mark).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd on top of being an amazing pair of (actually four) Limiters, and Class A tube mic preamps, it also has masters degrees in DI, AtoD and DtoA, VU and PPM but that was too much for an acronym. When it comes to classic gear, especially classic limiters, we can all agree numbers like LA2s, 1176s, 2264s, and others come to mind. What if all those sounds were to be found in one stereo tube unit. Interested? We combined our favorite Electro-Optical circuit (ELOP®) with a damn fast FET based brick-wall limiter reminiscent of some cool classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd we added a sidechain filter that can remove low frequencies that makes it more useful for a variety of tasks, while retaining that easy, \"it just works\" quality that has made it a favorite for vocals everywhere. The FET-based limiter has different desirable characteristics that both optimize the signal for digital recording, due to the brick-wall capability, and let you dial in how clean or crunchy, or punchy, and how loud and proud you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS GET IN: The SLAM! starts with tube Mic Preamps on both channels with selectable phase reverse, high pass filter, and switchable phantom power (on the back panel). We’ve got plenty of gain for you in this new tube circuit, up to 60dB with 20dB more in the limiter– plenty for soft singers using low output ribbon mics. The input attenuator is right up front, like a variable pad so your loud rock ‘n’ rollers won’t cause a problem either. Track direct with the Direct Instrument input or bring your line level inputs into the SLAM! for processing. The DI inputs have selectable input impedance, depending on how far you plug the 1\/4\" cable into the jack: push it in all the way and the input impedance is 100KOhms, pull it out halfway and it becomes 10 megOhms which reduces pickup loading and allows all the highs to get through. Come on in! Get it LOUD... two different and distinct limiters per channel: The ELOP® LIMITER: Our beloved Electro-Optical Levelling Amplifier circuit, the ELOP®, still the favorite for vocal tracking, shows up here with its new switchable side-chain high pass filter making it much more useful for mixes and other tracks as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most appreciated aspects of our original ELOP® is the simplicity of a two knob limiter, which is optimum for demanding pro recording pressures. You can still grab two knobs and have complete control of level and dynamics and be ready to hit that record button. Intuitive controls and a straight ahead signal path through quality components simply work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ELOP® limiter implementation is done like we did in our VOXBOX® which pioneered the idea of limiting the mic signal before it hits any active stage. The ELOP limiter moves to the line stage when LINE is selected. The ELOP sidechain provides different HP filters on a toggle. The 200 Hz setting has been tailored for vocals and adds a touch of de-essing. The FET LIMITER: Here’s a new fast FET based \"brick wall\" limiter that spans the range of clean predictable limiting to the grunge and gravel that other FET based limiters are desired for. The FET RELEASE control allows you to dial up a variety of colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is even a \"CLIP\" setting that provides as round a shape as has ever been available. (Read more below about the CLIP settings.) We aimed at \"sound\" first, then experimented with circuits until we heard what we wanted discovering fresh approaches that provide a very wide range of useful dynamic control. For example, you can set up for a fast brick wall limiter with slower releases for minimum artifacts, or go with the faster releases to get some crunch and then get extreme loudness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Attack control is unusual too providing the sonic control common with its historic brothers but very unusually retaining the zero overshoot “none-shall-pass” brick wall that defines a real limiter. And it’s punchy! As the saying goes, “Louder is better.” The SLAM! optimizes levels to analog to digital converters with ballz, warmth and loudness verging on silly or just clean and safe. What is especially nifty is the ability to use the ELOP® and FET limiters together at the same time dialing in whatever amounts of each effect you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery limiter has its own character or sound and here we have combined two powerful world-class tools that can be uniquely blended and mixed to taste and purpose. Even the metering is appropriate for each limiter so you can easily see how each is contributing. Metering on the SLAM! is exceptional. The two full size real VU meters show you the raw input levels, the final output levels, and the ELOP® Limiter gain reduction in the traditionally preferred format for visually displaying apparent loudness. VU’s are cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoticing how mastering engineers often need a switchable pad on their VU's because the \"optimized\" levels tend to pin the needles in the red, the SLAM! VU’s also have a 0, -3dB, -6dB switch to help with this situation. There are also very fast and super accurate multi-color LED ladder peak meters that display the input and output levels and the FET gain reduction, and some combinations. They will do Peak, Peak Hold timed, and Peak Hold until reset, and also allow you to manually set where the individual bars change colors to match your other gear. And with maximum clean I\/O levels of +30 dBu, it is a lot more likely you will use these meters to see what’s clipping downstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt probably won’t be the Manley tube line drivers inside! The back panel should keep everybody happy. In the sea of jacks including the big power supply connector, you'll find all the usual XLR’s for transformer balanced I\/O and 1\/4\" phone jacks for direct unbalanced I\/O. Eight Bantam jacks in a mini-patchbay configuration handle the side-chain inserts and linking functions. You can insert EQs into the ELOP® and FET limiters, and there are more jacks for you to mix in an external signal into the side chains. Another pair of jacks provides for easy linking for 5.1 surround work if you have three or four SLAM!'s. It’s all here. Speaking of Linking... all previous Manley dynamics units require both channels to be setup for near identical settings rather than the more common \"just set the Left side\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SLAM! lets you do it both ways. The \"L Side\" method is the \"STEREO LINK\" mode and is quick and convenient but, like others, uses a mono mix for the side-chain. The \"BOTH \u0026amp; EXT\" adds the rear panel link jacks to the link buss so you could chain up several SLAM!s for linked surround work. Both or all 6 channels should be set similarly. This mode is usually better for mastering as it responds to the true peak level of the channels rather than an artificial mono mix. Outside the Box, that's where the power supply is. The illuminated power switch turns on the external power supply. Keeping the power supply far away also keeps additional heat and magnetic fields away from the precious audio. The power supply is housed in a sturdy cast aluminum 7\" x 4\" x 5\" box that is easy to mount to or place in the bottom of a rack. A seriously humongous 16 pin connector, and 6' multicore cable connects the two boxes. The SLAM! also seems a natural as a mastering tool. The FET limiter works great on mixes, and the ELOP® now has a high pass filter switch that is spot-on for mastering. We offer a dedicated mastering version which eliminates the mic preamps, adds detented controls replacing the pots, and provides extra metering options. Manley compressors and EQs seem to be the most popular pieces of gear ever when it comes to mastering. The ultimate analog rack for the final important touches to the mix would have include the SLAM!, The Variable Mu® and The Massive Passive. Combine this with some digital processors of similar calibre and one has a respectable and very effective set of mastering tools. That Manley rack plus some Manley Microphones would make an ultimate stereo recording chain too. This is gear you’ll want to keep for a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Input Tubes: 2 x 12AT7A NOS GE specially selected by Manley Labs for lo-noise and stable bias *Output Tubes: 2 x 6414W NOS USA dual triodes *I\/O: MANLEY transformer coupled Balanced Inputs and Outputs *Micpre: Selectable 48V phantom power and PHASE REVERSE *Gain: 60dB max Micpre, 43dB max DI, 20dB max Limiter Gain *Mic Input Impedance: 2000Ω *DI Input Impedance: 100 kOhms or 10 megOhms (1\/4” jack out halfway) *FET Limiter: Attack: approx. 100μS; Release: 10mS to 2Sec; Ratio: better than 20:1 *ELOP Limiter: Attack: approx. 10mS for 6dB GR; Release: 2.5 Sec; Ratio: 10:1 *Frequency Response: 5Hz to 60KHz *Maximum Output: +32dBm, +30dBm (into 1KΩ load) *THD+N: \u0026lt;.05 typical consumption slam amps milliamps=\"480mA)\" watts power factory set for or operation original destination country mains voltage. changeable with transformer re-wiring via switch and fuse value change. voltage x lbs. range:=\"\" impedance:=\"\" analog:=\"\" supply:=\"\" voltage:=\"\" frequency:=\"\" weight:=\"\"\u0026gt;\u003c!--.05--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manley Labs","offers":[{"title":"MANLEY LABS SLAM!® STEREO LIMITER AND MICPREAMP","offer_id":32208849010820,"sku":"","price":19299.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0334\/9659\/6612\/products\/mslam_f_5-6-14.jpg?v=1581742004"},{"product_id":"manley-stereo-variable-mu-limiter-compressor","title":"MANLEY LABS STEREO VARIABLE MU®  LIMITER COMPRESSOR","description":"\u003cp\u003eDETAILS The MANLEY VARIABLE MU® LIMITER COMPRESSOR has been our best selling product for many years. It is one of the very few compressors that has become a real standard in Mastering studios and contributed to most hit records over the last decade and probably the next. \"Mu\" is tube-speak for gain, and Variable Mu® is our registered trademark for this limiter compressor. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow’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. Just like that. The COMPRESS mode is soft-knee 1.5 to 1 ratio while the sharper knee LIMIT mode starts at 4 to 1 and moves to a more dramatic ratio of 20 to 1 when limiting over 12dB. Interestingly, the knee actually softens as more limiting is used. Distortion can be creatively used by turning up the Input and turning down the Output while using very little or no compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the gain reduction curves here! You might notice that the Variable Mu® Limiter Compressor has a ganged input control, but do not jump to conclusions that it is mono-unfriendly. Track away! There are separate threshold and output controls to make compensations with plus you can always adjust your individual source levels elsewhere, right? The advantage of the stereo input control becomes dramatically clear when you switch to LINK mode, and that’s what our Variable Mu® Limiter Compressor does better than anything else: final mix, 2-track, or mastering limiting and compression.

It is like a “clean” version of the Variable Mu, especially suited for modern digital and electronic music where you don’t necessarily need to color or mask the sound like we did in the early days of digital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing Manley’s new HIP function, the Manley Nu Mu finesses dynamic control to bring up lower level details without knocking the life out of exciting transients. Smartly engineered to build efficiently and esthetically designed to elicit ravishing compliments from your clients, both visually and ergonomically, the Manley Nu Mu breaks new ground in performance and value, all proudly hand-built in California, of course! NOTES FROM EVEANNA MANLEY: \"So: taking the smoothest \u0026amp; best version of the Variable Mu - the T-BAR mod where we use two 6BA6 Pentodes strapped as triodes to achieve characteristics just about identical to the revered 6386 tubes of the original version (or the Fairchild) - we have the same front end as the Variable Mu. From there we then go into high voltage discrete transistor and FET amplification and drive circuitry. No chips! So this is, yes, less expensive than the all-tube Variable Mu; and also being transformerless on the outputs, very much the clean version of the Variable Mu. \"Let’s think back to the early 1990’s when the Variable Mu first came out. Recording was a different world. There was still plenty of recording to tape occurring in the big studios. And then digital was not really excellent yet. It was flat sounding and a bit \"glary\". A big round heavy-handed vibey sound like The Variable Mu was exactly what was needed then. Skipping forward to today, we have really excellent digital converters, and of course it is our de facto standard now. So we don’t need this big masking sound for everything we are doing today, especially for electronic music \/ EDM where we want to retain super crisp and punchy sounds. We don’t want to add more vibe or slow down the sound. Thus a clean, fast and punchy solid state limiter compressor is what the world needs now. And here is what we have with the Manley Nu Mu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also comes in well under $3,000, so yeah - for all of our individual musician and home recording customers, it is very well-priced for them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. OUTPUT CONTROL. The OUTPUT control is available on both the L and R channels. It adjusts the output level of that audio channel. Unity gain is about the ninth marking, or 11 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. THRESHOLD CONTROL. The THRESHOLD control is available on both the L and R channels. THRESHOLD or gain reduction sets the necessary amplitude for compression or limiting to take effect. The most extreme effect is when the control knob is set to MIN or fully counter-clockwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. COMPRESS \/ LIMIT SWITCH. This switch allows the Nu Mu to use two different compression ratios, offering either Compression at approximately 3:1 when the switch is engaged and illuminated, or Limiting at approximately a 10:1 ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. IN \/ BYPASS SWITCH. The BYPASS switch in the Nu Mu is a ‘Hardwire’ bypass for maximum performance. If the switch is engaged and illuminated to the “IN” position the audio will pass through either the Limiter or Compressor, so all the front panel controls will function. Use this switch to verify that the limiting or compressing is not messing up the original sound but enhancing it or at least leveling the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. VU METER. The Large custom VU meters allow easy tracking of both channels with the Nu Mu. It shows the amount of gain reduction in dB from the 0 dB mark, when the switch (7) is set to REDUCTION. When this switch is selected to O\/P and illuminated, the meter measures the output in decibels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6. HIP CONTROL. The \"Hip\" control allows compression to happen at lower volumes (lower in the dynamic range spectrum) but leaves the louder dynamics alone while still compressing the overall signal. You get louder soft sections and original dynamics of the louder sections. Previously the only way to get around this issue has been parallel compression, where the compressed signal is mixed with the uncompressed signal. Our \"Hip\" control achieves a similar effect while being easier to use, requiring less hardware (no need for extra mixing externally).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7. METER SELECT SWITCH. The Meter select switch allows the user to monitor either Gain Reduction or the Output of the unit. When the switch is engaged and illuminated, the output of the particular channel you are monitoring is visible in the corresponding VU Meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8. ATTACK CONTROL. The ATTACK control determines how long the compressor takes to respond to signals above the threshold. The Attack control is continuously variable and determines the necessary length of a transient to initiate gain reduction. With 63% gain reduction: SLOW 0.13s, MID 0.07s, FAST 0.013s. With 90% gain reduction: SLOW 0.64s, MID 0.35s, FAST 0.064s. Fully counter clockwise at the slowest setting will prevent most percussive signals from causing limiting or compression. It is available on both the left and the right channel. 9. RECOVERY CONTROL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RECOVERY control determines how long the compressor takes to recover after the signal falls below the threshold level. With 63% gain reduction recovery, five selections: 0.1s, 0.16, 0.32, 0.64s, 1.7s. With 90% gain reduction recovery five selections: 0.227s, 0.368s, 0.736s, 1.6s, 3.87s. 10. LINK FUNCTION. When The LINK function is used it links the two Stereo channels together. The Left channel controls become the master linking THRESHOLD, ATTACK \u0026amp; the RECOVERY CONTROLS. 11. INPUT LEVEL SWITCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Input Level is controlled by a toggle switch. There is an Input Level control for each cannel. Three levels of attenuation are available. +3dB, 0dB and -3dB. 12. HP SC SWITCH. The High Pass Side Chain filter is factory set a 100Hz. When this switch is engaged and illuminated, everything above 100Hz will have the effect of limiting or compression. Useful if you want the bass to come through with full impact and limit or compress everything else. 13. POWER SWITCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Power Switch glows a soft blue color when an IEC power lead is connected to the unit. This indicates that the Nu Mu is in STANDBY mode. Engaging the power switch takes the Nu Mu out of standby mode and into warm-up mode. The power switch will illuminate to a brighter blue and the backlit VU meters will start to flash. This warm-up process last 30 seconds, after which the MUTE relays will lift and the VU meters will stop flashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Manley IRON® input transformers *4 x hand-matched 6BA6 vacuum tubes *Balanced XLR inputs \u0026amp; outputs *Manley HIP function raises soft dynamics without squashing louder passages *High Voltage Switched Mode Power Supply custom designed for our vacuum tube audio circuits *INPUT Level Preset 3-way switches -3dB, 0, +3dB *Continuously variable OUTPUT level controls *Unity Gain set INPUT to \"0\" and OUTPUT control to 11 o’clock.

This LA-2A type unit allows for deep amounts of limiting without loss of high frequencies: it literally works (and sounds) like a changing volume control. The original was super easy to use, with supremely natural sound, and has often been the perfect choice for superstar vocals. So how do you improve on something this good?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Stereo ELOP®, or Electro Optical Limiter, was one of the first Manley products from the early 1990’s. With its through-hole printed circuit board construction and hours of tedious hand-looming, it sure looked like 1992 inside the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit was scrubbed for buildability, embracing modern production techniques. Importantly, the power supply was upgraded to Manley's proprietary universal voltage Switch Mode Power Supply, which lowered the noise level and made the unit a true world-traveler. We've also added a 3:1 compression ratio feature which opens up the doors to greater versatility, especially for 2-buss applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith careful reference to our sonic past, we have deployed our highest performance vacuum tube line amplifier and White Follower output stage in this new version, all housed in a build-efficient chassis behind a drop-dead gorgeous precision-CNC-milled faceplate - all proudly made in America, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Manley ELOP+ is everything you love about our legendary ELOP, plus!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. GAIN CONTROL. Available on L and R channels. Adjusts the gain of the audio channel, with unity at about the 7th marking (1 o'clock). Limiting usually requires some make-up gain to compare IN \/ BYPASS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gain control can also be used as the level to tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. REDUCTION CONTROL. Available on L and R channels. Reduction adjusts the amount of limiting or compression in that channel. This could also be called \"threshold\". Turning this control clockwise increases the amount of limiting or compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. VU METER. One for each channel, showing the gain reduction in dB when switch #7 is deselected, and showing output level in dB when switch #7 is engaged and illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. HP SC CONTROL. Inserts a high-pass filter into the sidechain circuit, reducing the amount of compression or limiting below 80 Hz. Note: this filter is changeable to 150 Hz via an internal jumper. See the manual for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. IN \/ BYPASS CONTROL.  If the switch is engaged \u0026amp; illuminated, audio will pass through the limiter \/ compressor circuit and all front panel controls will function. If the switch is disengaged, audio still flows through the tubes in the unit, but at Unity Gain with no compression or limiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6. COMPRESS \/ LIMIT CONTROL. This switch allows the ELOP+ to use two different compression ratios. Offering either compression at approximately 3:1 when the switch is engaged and illuminated, or limiting at approximately 10:1 when the switch is disengaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7. METER SELECT. Allows the user to monitor either Gain Reduction (switch engaged \u0026amp; illuminated) or Output of the unit (switch disengaged).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8. POWER SWITCH. Glows a soft amber color when an IEC power lead is connected to the unit.  This indicates that the ELOP+ is in STANDBY mode. Engaging the switch takes the ELOP+ out of standby mode and into warm-up mode (flashing VU meters, brighter amber switch). This lasts 30 seconds, after which the MUTE relays will lift and the VU meters will stop flashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9. LINK \/ STEREO FUNCTION. When the LINK switch is engaged and illuminated, the ELOP+ applies the same amount of gain reduction to both the L and R channels. This is done to prevent image shifting that can occur if each channel is compressed individually. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manley Labs","offers":[{"title":"MANLEY LABS ELOP®+  STEREO LIMITER COMPRESSOR","offer_id":32208849240196,"sku":"","price":6775.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0334\/9659\/6612\/products\/melpp_f_3-2-16.png?v=1581741994"},{"product_id":"manley-massive-passive-stereo-tube-eq","title":"MANLEY LABS MASSIVE PASSIVE  STEREO TUBE EQ","description":"\u003cp\u003eA PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS... Perhaps, but would photographs of our Variable Mu® Limiter Compressor or VOXBOX® have created their successes alone? You have to hear this gear. You have to use this gear. Put your hands on the knobs and crank 'em. Engineers who have already gotten hold of the MASSIVE PASSIVE have told us: \"Why does it make everything sound so much better?\", \"It's organic and orgasmic.\", \"It's a f%#king powerhouse.\", \"It's unlike any other EQ.\", \"This is IT. The sound I've always dreamt of but couldn't ever get until now.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGOT THE PICTURE? The MASSIVE PASSIVE is a two channel, four band equalizer, with additional high pass and low pass filters. \"Passive\" refers to the tone shaping part of this clever new EQ design not using any active circuitry. Only metal film resistors, film capacitors and hand-wound inductors sculpt the sound, kinda like a Pultec EQ on hyper-steroids. Super-beefy, hugely-high-headroom Manley all-tube make-up gain amplifiers deliver your tunes into the next realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Massive\".... it's a fitting word for this beast. You'll need to experience this. Creating natural, organic, acoustic tone can only be done with an equalizer that treats the signal with natural methods. 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 we 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Being different also gives it some quirks and idiosyncrasies that will spark your creativity and sense of audio adventure. We could attempt to use dozens of superlatives to describe the sounds, but really, you have to experience it yourself. Words cannot do it justice. The astute reader will notice a lack of \"buzz words\" and that the Massive Passive is not built around gimmicks, plagiarisms, or conventional techniques. However, it is built to complement our Variable Mu® Limiter Compressor for instance...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combo could just be the ultimate processing chain. It's already a Mastering fave. To this end we finally have a new dedicated Mastering Version Massive Passive Stereo EQ available too. THE FILTERS HIGH PASS FILTERS 22, 39, 68, 120, 220 Hz, OFF LOW PASS FILTERS 6 kHz, 7K5, 9 kHz, 12 kHz, 18 kHz, OFF There are 5 High Pass Passive Filters and bypass, plus 5 Low Pass Passive Filters with bypass. We made them extra steep. Why? So you can remove the garbage and not mess up your music. The way these filters interface with the parametric EQ bands simply sound beautiful. The highest Low Pass filters get even steeper. Attack drums, guitar stacks, and other tough jobs. Make \"telephone\" voice sounds for special effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePARAMETRIC FREQUENCIES LOW 22, 33, 47, 68, 100, 150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 1K LOW MID 82, 120, 180, 270, 390, 560, 820, 1K2, 1K8, 2K7, 3K9 HIGH MID 220, 330, 470, 680, 1K, 1K5, 2K2, 3K3, 4K7, 6K8, 10K HIGH 560, 820, 1K2, 1K8, 2K7, 3K9, 5K6, 8K2, 12K, 16K, 27K Each band can be bypassed or set to boost or cut. This provides twice the control resolution over conventional EQs. It also eliminates the problem of a center detent not guaranteeing flat response. Each band is capable of 20 dB of boost or cut combined with amazing headroom and freedom from clipping. Steep LP and HP filters for maximum effectiveness and achieved passively for minimal coloration. Low Pass Filters get progressively steeper as the frequency point rises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the High Pass Filters, and the Low Pass 6K, 7K5, and 9KHz Filter slopes are 18 dB\/octave, the Low Pass 12kHz filter has a 24dB\/octave slope and the 18kHz filter has a 60 dB per octave slope.

And if you notice, we've added a couple extra frequencies too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear mounted input switch selects 0 degrees or 180 degrees PHASE INVERT for the balanced gold pin XLR input or the transformerless unbalanced bridging input (1\/4\" jack) may be selected in that switch's middle position. People often ask us if our Pultec EQ's sound like the old ones to which we reply, \"Yes! But better!\" The originals had three transformers in the signal path whereas ours can be used completely transformerless. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe components we use today just weren't available in the 1960's. 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! The MANLEY PULTEC EQP-1A, available in both single and 2-channel versions, uses 1 x 12AX7WA and 1 x 6414 (or 5965) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike our 40dB Mic Preamps, the Manley Pultecs offer both transformer coupled balanced and direct capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs for easy interface and sonic variety. Kick drum? Bring on the Pultecs and all the iron you can muster! You'll soon discover the power and magic of having those individual Low Frequency BOOST and CUT controls in that LF shelf circuit. . . Need a little clarity or extension? Try that middle bell-shaped Boost dialing in the sharpness of the boost on the BANDWIDTH control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomething bugging you?

Warm Audio have partnered with Gotham Audio in Switzerland to use their very carefully built high-end 7 pin “GAC-7 cable”. Using this cable increases top end presence and the overall size of the recorded image in the stereo field by reducing phase shift and the parasitic effect often experienced in poorly built cables.

We gave an open front to the VLSM, which allows you to position your microphone as close to the source as possible while preventing early reflections from the front 120-degrees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also wanted to get rid of the aggravating experiences with those flimsy elastic bands that come standard with most shockmounts. They get stretched out and saggy, and sometimes snap without warning – not something you want to happen when your mic is in there! Instead, we install aerospace-grade rubberized suspension rings that won’t break, sag, crack, or stretch over time. We picked a precise durometer for the suspension rings that will firmly support even the heaviest microphones, while still maintaining superb decoupling properties to prevent unwanted rumble and vibration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWide Compatability\u003cbr\u003eThe VLSM comes as a standard accessory for the Vanguard V13 Tube Condenser and V44S Stereo Condenser microphones.

There’s no brazes or welds that can weaken over time. Instead, each component is precision-cast \u0026amp; machined.

The WA-47 is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications and sounds great on vocals, acoustic\/electric guitars, acoustic\/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass\/woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources. The classic ‘47 became extremely popular in the 1960’s and is now considered one of the greatest microphones ever made. The classic ‘47 is still widely used today in professional recording studios but have become extremely rare and expensive to acquire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigning the WA-47 to sound like the classic ‘47 was no easy task, especially considering that some of the vintage components are no longer available. We compared and listened to 2 different vintage ‘47 mics and found that they both sounded amazing but also sounded a little different from each other. These comparison tests became the benchmark for tailoring our WA-47 sonics to sit right in with these 2 vintage ‘47 mics. We are pleased to release such a gorgeous sounding classic to the market at a price that’s reachable to more people than ever before. We are also proud to mention that the WA-47 sounds legitimately indistinguishable to the vintage ‘47’s we auditioned on several sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with all Warm Audio products, we focus heavily on quality components to ensure we release the best sounding product possible. The WA-47 is packed with top end components that are carefully sourced from many of the top pro audio component suppliers in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue '47 style capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-47 utilizes a custom reproduction of the vintage k47 style capsule that was used in the classic ‘47 microphone - designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response. Every Warm Audio capsule is made in the same small assembly house in a clean-room environment, and packaged in its own protective jewel case until the moment it is loaded into the microphone. Each capsule is visually inspected and electrically tested for imperfections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA large part of any microphone's tone comes from its capsule, and the true k47 style capsule used in the WA-47 is not easily manufactured or typically found in affordable condenser microphones. We are proud to be using such a faithful recreation of this classic part in an affordably priced '47 style microphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA look inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Capsule\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-47 utilizes a custom reproduction of the vintage k47 style capsule that was used in the classic ‘47 microphone - designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response. Our version of this capsule (model# WA-47-B-80v) is carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule manufacturer who's precision and repeatability allows us to nail the vintage sonics of the most important sonic piece of this classic style of microphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Slovak Republic JJ 5751 vacuum tube is a lower gain, low noise tube that forces much of the sonics of the capsule and transformer to be heard more significantly than some higher gain tubes might allow. We auditioned 4 different tube brands and fell in love with the JJ 5751. The frequency response of the JJ 5751 and the way it contributes to the circuit is tonally smooth and vintage in nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Transformer\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-47 utilizes an American made TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA transformer with large core imported German laminations. This transformer helps provide the creamy smooth top end, and the LARGER THAN LIFE bottom end one would expect from a '47 style condenser microphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne component of a tube microphone often overlooked is the 7 pin cable that connects the microphone to its power supply. When auditioning the WA-47 and other tube microphones we learned quite a bit about 7 pin cables and how the shielding and wire gauge size can drastically change the sonics of a tube microphone. We have partnered with Gotham Audio in Switzerland to use their very carefully built top-end 7 pin GAC-7 cable. Using this cable increases top end presence and the overall size of the recorded image in the stereo field, by reducing phase shift and the parasitic effect often found in poorly built cables. Gotham Audio is very expensive and boutique in nature and should not be considered a small addition to the WA-47 package.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Capacitors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-47 uses a polystyrene coupling capacitor for uncompressed top-end response from the capsule, wima film capacitors throughout, and an imported Solen French capacitor on its output driving the TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Custom true '47 capsule reproduction (k47 style) - Model# WA-47-B-80v\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Capsule makeup: Gold sputtered, dual large diaphragm, single backplate, 6 microns NOS mylar (PET film)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Sovtek 5751 vacuum tube\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Gotham 3 meter GAC-7, 7-pin tube microphone cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Wima, Solen French, and Polystyrene capacitors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Self-noise: 11dBA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Polar Patterns: 9 patterns - Cardioid, Omni, figure-of-eight + 6 mixed patterns\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Dynamic range: 130dBA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Maximum SPL: 140dB (\u0026lt;0.5% THD)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Frequency Range: 20 Hz~20 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Output Impedance: 200 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Rated Load Impedance: ≥2kOhms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* S\/N Ratio: 82dBA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Equivalent Noise: 10dBA (IEC651)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* External IEC grounded PSU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Total Weight - 9 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Mic Diameter: 60mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Mic Length: 254mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Includes: Microphone, Wood box, Power Supply Unit, Shockmount, Gotham 7 pin GAC-7 cable, IEC power cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlso available in Limited Edition Titanium Finish with Peli Case\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"WA-47 Nickel","offer_id":32208852353156,"sku":"","price":1915.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WA-47TS Titanium Limited Edition","offer_id":47042554790055,"sku":null,"price":2099.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0334\/9659\/6612\/products\/wa-47_front.jpg?v=1581742045"},{"product_id":"warm-audio-wa-47-jr","title":"Warm Audio WA-47jr  Large-Diaphragm FET Transformerless Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-68f5ec55-7fff-a14d-c2cf-301c55c1b473\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe WA-47jr is a contemporary version of the iconic ‘47-style microphone, known for rich analog warmth, with a modern circuit design and professional recording features.

This style of preamp is often referred to as \"the sound of Rock n' Roll\" for its BIG punchy low end and smooth open top end. The price\/performance ratio of the WA-412 is almost unfathomable to the experienced studio engineer who has possibly paid much more for preamps of this style during their career.

I could only afford to have one or two in my studio at a time, which was never enough to record a full band or drummer. I knew very well that if signals were not recorded well \"on the way in\" they wouldn't be salvageable later, but my budget constrained me, so many of the sources were recorded through poor-quality mic pre's. If the WA-412 was available back then I likely wouldn't have had to settle for poor, low-quality tone. The WA-412 was designed \"for the people\" (if you will) and we believe it will become a serious work-horse in many professional and home studios.\" - Bryce Young (founder)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-412 has all of the features one would expect from this style of preamp... and more. Output Trim has been added to every channel for precise control and creative gain structuring.

We are proud to be using input and output transformers that are made in the USA by high-end transformer manufacturer, Altran. We worked closely with Altran to create unique transformers that extend the low frequency response of the design. The transformers also use a vintage winding technique that produces a very distinct smooth \u0026amp; open character.

We wanted to improve on the standard “tube” design that was popularized by our chief designer in the late 2000s. First, we created a windowed design for the shockmount. This allows you to access switches on your microphone without affecting your carefully-placed positioning. Second, we source aerospace-grade suspension bands that won’t break, sag, crack, or stretch over time. The bands can be positioned either vertically\/horizontally or diagonally, to tightly hold microphones of varying diameter. The V1 has slight insets machined into the body, so the suspension bands “lock in” easily to the microphone for a more secure hold. The main body and knob are precision-cast from a high-grade zinc alloy and finished with a durable powdercoat. The pivot is injection-molded from high-impact ABS to keep your mic placement locked in place. The pivot is also inset with both 5\/8″-24 and 3\/8″-16 threads to be compatible with any microphone stand. This shockmount was designed to fit any microphone with a diameter below 30mm, so it can be used with several brands of microphone, including almost any pencil microphone – and even ribbon microphones. When not in use, your V1 should be stored in its padded pinewood storage case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVanguard Audio Labs offer a four different V1 systems to suit your needs. matched stereo sets and packages that include the V34C Removable Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Capsule Head (but we just call her “LOLLI”).
