At two or three decibels of reduction the Variable Mu leaves no pumping and no flattened transients behind, and yet the instruments start playing together. A stepped input attenuator sets how hard you drive the valves repeatably, so transformer saturation is chosen independently of how much reduction you want. The illuminated Sifam meters show gain reduction clearly enough that you never have to guess how much is actually working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe valve itself as the gain control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA variable mu circuit has neither a VCA nor an optical cell. Gain changes through the bias voltage of remote cutoff valves, so the reduction is not applied to the signal, it is how the amplifying stage behaves. That produces the characteristic response: the harder you push it, the gentler the curve looks, instead of a hard knee at the threshold. The mode switch gives 1.5:1 in Compress and 4:1 to 20:1 in Limit, attack is continuously variable from 25 to 70 ms, and recovery has five settings: 0.2 s, 0.4 s, 0.6 s, 4 s and 8 s.

That produces the characteristic response: the harder you push it, the gentler the curve looks, instead of a hard knee at the threshold. The mode switch gives 1.5:1 in Compress and 4:1 to 20:1 in Limit, attack is continuously variable from 25 to 70 ms, and recovery has five settings: 0.2 s, 0.4 s, 0.6 s, 4 s and 8 s. A high pass filter in the sidechain at -3 dB @ 100 Hz keeps the low end out of the detector so the kick does not drive the whole mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMS modification with mid-side encoding and decoding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-Bar modification: four 6BA6 pentodes in the gain stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous control on conductive plastic potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo channel compressor and limiter with an all-valve path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompress mode at 1.5:1 and Limit mode from 4:1 to 20:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack continuously variable from 25 to 70 ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecovery in five steps: 0.2 s, 0.4 s, 0.6 s, 4 s and 8 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh pass filter in the sidechain at -3 dB @ 100 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManley IRON transformers with nickel laminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel linking for stereo operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardwire bypass for comparison against the unprocessed signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated Sifam gain reduction meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable gain valves: 6BA6 x4 in the T-Bar modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifying valves: 5751 or 12AX7 x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput valves: 12BH7 x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidechain rectifier: 12AL5 x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz to 25 kHz (±0.1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum gain: 35 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output: +30 dBu with 26 dB of headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD: below 0.1% at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise floor: -85 dB typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced inputs and outputs, 600 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: conductive plastic potentiometers, continuously variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 x 3.5 x 10 inches, 2U; power consumption 80 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Manley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54530310734161,"sku":"46856","price":5971.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/ManleyStereoVariableMuLimiter_Compressor1_5cc2506e-d6b0-428a-8cb5-709a7613b541.jpg?v=1786442025"},{"product_id":"manley-voxbox","title":"Manley Voxbox","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManley Voxbox\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 3U all-valve channel strip combining a microphone preamplifier, an ELOP optical compressor, a passive Pultec style equaliser, a de-esser and a limiter. The whole path is valve based, with no op-amps in the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA vocal that is finished on the way in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracking a vocal through an ordinary preamp leaves you with a take that has to be rescued later with plugins: sibilance, level jumps, no bottom end. The Voxbox does all of that on the way to the converter, while the signal still has full headroom. The de-esser and compressor sit ahead of the equaliser, so lifting the top does not sharpen the sibilance you have just tamed. Compression runs at 3:1 with up to 16 dB of reduction, and switching to limiting turns that into 10:1 and 32 dB when a level jump has to be caught without riding a fader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePassive equalisation with valve make-up gain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe equaliser section uses genuine inductors and the passive Pultec topology, with gain recovered by a Class-A valve stage. The trick that defines this circuit, boosting and cutting the same low band at once, produces a curve you cannot build on a parametric equaliser. The inputs handle microphone, line and instrument at 2000, 4000 and 100,000 Ohms respectively, so an electric guitar or a synth enters the same path as the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3U all-valve channel strip with no op-amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone preamplifier with up to 60 dB of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine and instrument inputs with their own impedances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELOP optical compressor at 3:1 with up to 16 dB of reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimiting mode at 10:1 with up to 32 dB of reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Pultec style equaliser on genuine inductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe-esser placed ahead of the equaliser section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression attack 4 to 70 ms, release 0.3 to 5 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimiting attack 2 ms, release 0.5 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12AX7, 12BH7 and 6414 or 5965 valves matched in pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal supply, 90 to 254 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum gain: 60 dB mic, 23.2 dB line, 23.4 dB instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 2000 Ohm mic, 4000 Ohm line, 100 kOhm instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz to 60 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEqualiser section response: 10 Hz to 68 kHz (±1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum preamp output: +30 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum equaliser output: +33 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: 0.008% at 1 kHz, A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise floor: -83 dBu, A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 113 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 x 5.25 x 10 inches, 3U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 14.5 lbs; power consumption 31 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Manley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54530310766929,"sku":"28293","price":4932.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/ManleyVoxbox1.jpg?v=1786442087"}],"url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de\/collections\/manley.oembed","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
