Description
The Manley Force contains four channels of real High Voltage vacuum tube microphone preamplifiers extracted from the hugely popular and award winning Manley Core, housed in an exquisitely gorgeous chassis, and meticulously hand-crafted in California.
Gold-plated XLR connectors are the first thing your microphone signals hit before going into Manley’s ‘MANLEY IRON’ Mic input transformer. Instruments including guitars and keyboards go into the 1/4″ Hi-Z 10 megOhm jack inputs before hitting the input level control which also acts as a Variable Input Pad. 120Hz High Pass filters and Phase Reverse can be invoked in the circuit and then go into the 12AX7 dual triode amplifying stage operating in pure Class A. Furthermore, each channel features a 48V Phantom power switch.
