The Manley Labs Force 4-Channel Microphone Preamp features ergonomic facia with its thoughtfully organized controls, silky and bulletproof rotary potentiometers, positive latching feature switches, and convenient Direct Input 1/4″ jacks. Seven-way LED metering for each channel provides instant visible feedback for audio levels which are enhanced with a double-inlay CNC-milled accent.
The microphone signals enter through gold-plated XLR connectors straight into the MANLEY IRON Mic input transformer. Your line level or instrument level guitars and keyboards come in via the front panel 1/4″ Hi-Z 10 megOhm jacks before hitting the input level control which also acts as a Variable Input Pad. Phase Reverse and 120 Hz High Pass filters can be invoked here in the circuit and then we’re into the 12AX7 dual triode amplifying stage operating in pure Class A, of course. The amount of GAIN for each channel can be selected as 40 dB or 50 dB via the front panel switches. An additional 10 dB of gain is available via internal jumpers.
