Product Description
Let the Manley Labs SLAM! take control of your dynamics and loudness. This powerful unit combines Manley’s legendary all-tube preamplifiers with two distinct and simultaneous limiters—the musical ELOP and the fast FET "brick-wall" limiter—giving you a unique and versatile tool to shape your sound. This also may just be the most exclusive DI input out there. The Mastering Version of the SLAM! incorporates detented and logable 1/2 dB steps built with 1% metal film resistors on sealed gold-contact Grayhill switches.
TWO LIMITERS, ONE PURPOSE
The Manley SLAM! features a dual-stage limiting process for unparalleled dynamic control. The ELOP optical limiter, renowned for its transparent and effortless gain reduction, provides a smooth, musical compression. This is followed by a lightning-fast FET limiter that can be used to catch the final peaks, creating incredible loudness without the harsh artifacts of digital clipping.
THE PROFESSIONAL'S TRACKING SOLUTION
With its all-tube, high-headroom microphone preamplifiers and a dedicated Hi-Z instrument input, the SLAM! is the perfect front-end for any signal. Its design delivers a rich, analog tone while providing enough clean gain for any microphone, from dynamic to low-output ribbons. It's the ideal tool to ensure your audio hits the digital converters with maximum sonic impact and integrity.
BUILT FOR SONICS, ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE
The SLAM! is built to perform in the most demanding studios. Its outboard power supply keeps heat and magnetic fields away from the sensitive audio circuitry, ensuring a pristine signal path. With flexible I/O, a mini-patch bay for side-chain inserts, and attenuable VU meters that can be switched to prevent needle bending, it’s a robust and reliable tool for a lifetime of professional use.
