{"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. Now, 40 to 60 dBs of gain, enough for\nmost ribbon mics, are selectable in precise 5dB steps by varying the\namount of overall negative feedback on the GAIN switch. This is a very\ninteresting feature indeed, allowing you to change the slew rate\n(speed), placement, and tonal balance of the sound from mellow and\n\"tubey-er\" through to faster, punchier and more aggressive. See \"\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.manley.com\/negative_feedback.php\" target=\"blank\"\u003eNotes on Variable Feedback\u003c\/a\u003e\" for more info. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTube complements are common to both models: 1 x 12AX7EH hand-selected\nfor lowest noise, and 1 x 6414 for each high-current output stage. Each\nunit is painstakingly hand wired using silver solder and\naudiophile-grade componentry. Double shielded custom-built power\ntransformers and custom-built high capacity reservoir capacitors\ndemonstrate our modern power supply design approach. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe front panel 1\/4\" DIRECT INPUT jack makes these preamplifiers serve\ndouble duty as a pure tube line stage for instruments such as bass, drum\nmachines, and keyboards when you need to get your tunes through some\ntubes before hitting a sterile digital recorder. Total gain in this mode\nbecomes 20dB less than indicated on the GAIN switch. Both transformer\ncoupled balanced and direct (via humongous metalized film MultiCaps)\ncapacitor coupled unbalanced outputs are provided giving you the choice\nof audiophile-purist or big iron sounds. Perennial shoot-out winners,\nour single-ended preamp designs have become favorites among top\nengineers and home recordists alike looking for \"that rich Manley sound\nwith the tight bass and the top end that goes on forever\" which begs to\ngo direct to tape. It's a BIG sounding mic pre! \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManley input \u0026amp; output transformers with nickel laminations in mu-metal cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat frequency response from 10Hz-60KHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic input Phase Reverse switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2400 ohm mic input Z; 48V phantom power built-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Z (100Kohm) 1\/4\" DIRECT INPUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoiseless conductive plastic INPUT attenuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026lt;0.05% THD @ 1Khz S\/N ratio: 80dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEIN: -125dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Feedback \/ Gain switch selects 5dB steps between 40 to 60 dB of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-current drive \u0026lt;50 ohm LO-Z 1\/4\" \u0026amp; XLR outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto Mute w\/ warm-up delay for power up\/down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. input (with input pad fully open): 450mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. output: +32dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. output (into 600 ohm load): (+15dBm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption Mono units: 18 watts; Dual Mono units: 36 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating mains voltage: Units are purpose built for original destination country's mains voltage:   100V, 120V, or 220-240VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eas indicated on the serial number badge.
