About this listing
The Manley Nu Mu Compressor builds upon the legacy of the Variable Mu, combining the T-Bar vacuum tube front end used in the Variable Mu with a new discrete FET output stage. This marriage of tubes and solid-state electronics gives the Nu Mu a remarkable tonal character which will always make it a hit in the studio! Choose the Manley Nu Mu for the smoothest in dynamics action coupled together with the punchiest sonic path design, going. Featuring Manley's new HIP function, the Nu Mu finesses dynamic control to bring up lower level details without knocking the life out of exciting transients. Smartly engineered to build efficiently and esthetically designed to elicit ravishing compliments from your clients, both visually and ergonomically, the Manley Nu Mu breaks new ground in performance and value, all proudly handbuilt in California, of course! Manley Nu Mu Compressor Features Manley IRON input transformers 4 x hand-matched 6BA6 vacuum tubes Balanced XLR inputs & outputs Manley HIP function raises soft dynamics without squashing louder passages High Voltage Switched Mode Power Supply custom designed for our vacuum tube audio circuits Manley Nu Mu Compressor Specifications INPUT Level Preset 3-way switches -3dB, 0, +3dB Continuously variable OUTPUT level controls Unity Gain set INPUT to "0" and OUTPUT control to 11 o'clock.
