Manley TNT 2-Channel Dual Mode Microphone Preamplifier

Rs. 2,700.00

Here is a twist: two different and discrepant mic preamps in one box for two different colors. By popular demand, one channel is the exact same micpre as in Manley's SLAM! with tubes and transformers. The second preamp is a fresh "No Tubes" design from Hutch and is inspired by old British console preamps with a tasty combination of "No Tubes" design with transformers. This one is not a clone of anything preexisting. It is a new flavor but reminiscent of that classic discrete sound. Both channels are designed around the basic goal of 'just plug a mic in and it sounds great.' The tube channel excels on traditionally difficult sources like some bright guitars, reed and brass, cymbals and some vocals. The "No Tubes" channel might be more suited for smoother vocals, drums, bass and raunchy guitars, but you never really knows which preamp is best for the job at hand until you try them. At least you'll have two qualified candidates in one handy 1U chassis.

Features:

2-channel - tube/solid-state - microphone preamplifier
Variable input impedance near-zero gain change.
Variable Output Transformer Bypass
Switchable overdrive effects; "Clean," "'60s," and "'70s."
Designed to sound great without tweaking
Phantom power is soft-switched and shunt regulated for lowest noise
Phase switch
HP filters
LED overload and level indicators
Instrument inputs
Six low noise shunt regulators, and five standard regulators in the solid-state side
When High-pass filter is bypassed, the preamp is designed to have almost DC response (.01Hz) at all gain settings.
LED meter indicates first and second stage clipping
Output is capable of greater than +30 dBu (70 volts peak to peak into 50 ohms from the solid-state side)
Both the current mode and voltage mode preamps sport EIN numbers of 130dB, very close to the theoretical minimum noise possible
