Description

The Manley Dual Mid Band EQ is a premium dual channel passive equalizer designed to provide exceptional control over the critical midrange frequencies where clarity, presence, and definition come to life. Combining a passive inductor based EQ network with high voltage tube makeup gain and custom Manley Iron transformers, it delivers smooth, musical shaping while preserving the natural character of the source. Its precisely matched stereo channels make it well suited for recording, mix bus processing, stems, and mastering applications. 

The Dual Mid Band EQ is engineered to refine vocal presence, instrument separation, and overall mix balance without introducing harshness or sacrificing depth. Its broad, musical response encourages subtle yet effective tonal adjustments, while support for both conventional stereo operation and external Mid/Side workflows provides added flexibility for modern production environments. Handcrafted in California and equipped with a universal power supply for worldwide use, the Dual Mid Band EQ delivers the signature analog sound and reliable performance that professionals expect from Manley.
