Channel Strip with Class A tube mic/line preamp, direct instrument input, 3:1 ELOP compressor, Baxandall EQ, FET brickwall limiter, and analog VU meter
2014 delivers the Manley CORE, an innovative channel strip that combines Manley's Greatest Hits with fresh technology. The remarkably intuitive front panel combines musical and forgiving circuitry that allows the musician to concentrate on his performance instead of being lost in a sea of knobs. Ease of use and intelligently chosen operating points make it virtually impossible to cut a bad sounding track!
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.
The signal enters through our renowned hand-wound MANLEY IRON input transformer with nickel laminations in a mu-metal can. The tube amplifying stage is the latest implementation of our famous Class A circuit topology found in the VOXBOX and Manley Dual Mono & Mono Microphone Preamplifiers. This all-triode vacuum tube circuit runs on a regulated 300 Volt B+ supply yielding huge headroom and relentless output drive capability.

Smooth
It is difficult to put into words, but the Manley Core saves so much time when tracking as its smoothness just gives an effortless feeling to the sound. Gone are the hours of editing out unwanted spit between the teeth from overly-sharp, clean preamps. Lire plus
Gone are the hours of precision EQ cuts to remove resonances. Hello to epic smooth tracks that just sit in the mix so well. It's really hard to get a bad sound out of the Core! Aston Spirit mic through Mogami Studio Gold through the Manley Core to PreSonus Quantum A/D conversion, into Studio One. The Quantum conversion is very nice too, very close to Apogee quality, just without the price tag, but that is subjective... I can simply say the Manley Core has changed the way I track performers. Well done Manley Labs!
