« Splendid! »
Published on 03/12/11 at 04:06This is a compressor / limiter with high standing lamp.
Two channels that can not or linker. two rack units.
XLR connectors.
the finish is very neat and the look is hell.
it heats up a lot (there are ways to get burned on the fins at the rear)
UTILIZATION
Everything is clear, it's just a compressor.
SOUND QUALITY
A compressor is absolutely beautiful. It can be used on almost everything: for tracking vocals, Over-head, guitars, mix in the group or mastering.
The sound is huge. quite respectful in the low cut, it can heat a mix of very nice way.
Cranked on batteries, it is pumped cymbals exactly how we expect.
Truly a great achievement of Manley. The technology is similar to the Fairchild 660.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 years. I have also Tubectech CLA2B. Manley is the most versatile: it is also used for mastering, I would like to compare with LA2A.
What I like best: sound, what I like least: nothing, really.
value for money: ben it's expensive but obviously we really need a good tube compressor in a set-up mix.
