The Manley SLAM! Stereo Limiter Analogue Version. Stunning dynamic control, used all over the world, can eradicate anything that resembles dynamic range without any loss of the emotion that is created by a dynamic performance.
The Manley Slam is a Stereo Limiter And Micpre. Manley had to put a switch on this limiter to drop its internal VU meters down 3 & 6dB to stop the poor little needles from bending, it gets loud fast (hence the exclamation mark). In addition to being an amazing pair of (actually four) Limiters, and Class A tube mic preamps, it also has masters degrees in DI, A to D and D to A (via digi board option). When it comes to classic gear, especially classic limiters, we can all agree numbers like LA2s, 1176s, 2264s, and others come to mind. What if all those sounds were to be found in one stereo tube unit. Manley have combined their favorite Electro-Optical circuit with an extremely fast FET based brick-wall limiter reminiscent of some cool classics. Then Manley added a sidechain filter that can remove low frequencies that makes it more useful for a variety of tasks, while retaining that easy, "it just works" quality that has made it a favorite for vocals everywhere. The FET- based limiter has different desirable characteristics that both optimise the signal for digital recording, due to the brick-wall capability, and let you dial in how clean or crunchy, or punchy, and how loud and proud you want it. The Slam is a stunning device that delivers awesome dynamic control on Vocals, Instrument tracking and Mastering applications.
