Manley Force Tube Mic Preamp
Taking the preamp section from Manley’s Core channel strip, the Manley Force 4-Channel Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier provides you with 4 tube-driven microphone preamps in a single 2RU unit. Each of the 4 independent preamps gives you up to 95 dB of gain, along with independently selectable 48V phantom power, phase reverse, and a high-pass filter at 120 Hz. The selectable Hi/Low button acts as a 20 dB pad for louder sources.
The output section of each preamp features a 12AX7 dual triode Class A amplifying stage. Gold-plated, rear-panel XLR connections provide mic-level inputs featuring Manley’s famous Iron transformers. Your Hi-Z and line-level sources make their way via the front-panel 1/4″” inputs.
