Manley Reference Mono Gold
REFGOLDWhen fidelity is the goal, the Manley Labs Reference Mono Gold Mutli-Pattern Condenser Tube Microphone is the solution.
Its nimble CK12-style American-made capsule, open grille, and continually adjustable pickup pattern design allow it to hear deep into a room, capturing nuances and subtleties that other mics miss.
All-tube electronics in the Manley Reference Microphones are built around two triodes in cascade forming an entire gain-block. We have recently switched to a dual-triode 12AT7 tube, easily obtainable and replaceable, mounted in a ceramic socket.
The output is coupled through a Manley output transformer of unparalleled quality and substantial physical size employing nickel lamination's with "hum bucking" bi-filar windings, encased in mu-metal.
The polar pattern control is continuously variable between the OMNI, CARDIOID, and FIGURE 8 positions vastly increasing this mic’s versatility. T
he Gold Mics make it possible to exactly tailor the proximity effect to achieve the desired character.
