Manley CORE Tube Mic Pre, EQ, Compressor & Preamp, FET Limiter

Description

The Manley CORE Tube Mic Pre, is a Class A tube based, all-in-one reference channel strip featuring a preamp, EQ, compressor and brick-wall FET limiter. All packed into a streamlined and approachable interface, designed to make achieving great sounds quick and painless.

Manley’s experience and insight working with the industry’s top recording engineers and musicians culminates in the CORE. At this price, there is no other channel-strip with higher headroom or more seductive sound than the CORE. Handcrafted in the USA, built like a tank, built to endure, the epicenter of your recorded art will be the Manley CORE.
