Used sparingly in a smoke-free home recording studio. All-tube preamp with DI, hand-built with custom components, just like the Manley Mono Mic Pre times two.The Manley DMMP Dual Mono Microphone Preamp is an all-tube microphone primarily intended for use with modern capacitor (condenser) microphones. Now, 40 to 60dB gain, enough for most ribbon mics, is selectable in precise 5dB steps by varying the amount of overall negative feedback on the GAIN switch. This is a very interesting feature, allowing you to change the slew rate (speed), placement, and tonal balance of the sound from mellow and "tubey-er" through to faster, punchier, and more aggressive. Tube complements include 1 x 12AX7EH hand-selected for lowest noise, and 1 x 6414 per channel for each high-current output stage. Each tube preamp in the Manley DMMP is painstakingly hand-wired using silver solder and audiophile-grade components. Double-shielded custom-built power transformers and custom-built high-capacity reservoir capacitors demonstrate Manley's modern power supply design approach. When you need to get your tunes through some tubes before hitting a sterile digital recorder, the front-panel 1/4" Direct Input jack lets the Dual Mono Mic Pre serve double duty as a pure tube line stage for instruments such as bass, drum machines, and keyboards. Total gain in this mode becomes 20dB less than indicated on the Gain switch. Both transformer-coupled balanced, and direct (via humongous metalized film MultiCaps) capacitor-coupled unbalanced outputs are provided giving you the choice of audiophile/purist or big iron sounds. Perennial shoot-out winners, Manley single-ended preamp designs have become favorites among top engineers and home recordists looking for "that rich Manley sound with the tight bass and the top end that goes on forever" which begs to go direct to tape. It's a BIG sounding mic preamp.Features* Manley input & output transformers with nickel laminations in mu-metal cases* Flat frequency response from 10Hz-60KHz* Mic input Phase Reverse switch* 2400 ohm mic input Z; 48V phantom power built-in* Hi-Z (100k ohm) ¼" Direct Input* Noiseless conductive plastic Input attenuators* Adjustable Feedback / Gain switch selects 5dB steps between 40 to 60 dB of gain* Hi-current drive Auto Mute with warm-up delay for power up/downSpecifications* <0.05% THD @ 1Khz S/N ratio: 80dB* Equivelent Input Noise: -125dB* Max. input (with input pad fully open): 450mV* Max. output: +32dBu* Max. output (into 600 ohm load): (+15dBm)* Power consumption: 36 watts* Mains Voltage Frequency: 50 - 60Hz* Dimensions: 19" x 1-¾" x 10" (occupies 1 rack space)* Shipping Weight: 12 lb.The power toggle switch is slightly bent, it works perfectly, it’s the only blemish on the unit.
