Preamps

Slam! Manley is a 2-channel tube microphone preamplifier, with electro-optical and FET limiter, stereo link and VU meter. Manley's SLAM literally means "Stereo Limiter And Microphone preamplifier". Starting with the two tube mic preamps, the Manley SLAM! offers 48V phantom power, phase inversion and up to 60dB of gain and 20dB of additional gain in the limiter, enough to satisfy virtually any microphone or singers. On the limiter side, SLAM! Manley combined ELOP's electro-optical circuitry with a fast FET-based limiter and added a practical sidechain.
