Pro Gear | Hi-Fi Gear | Gallery | Tech Support | What's New | Mastering | Word of Mouth | About Us

We're not trying to be morbid folks. (uhm, yeah we were actually)
We just thought you might want to pay your last respects to some of the gear we just don't make like we used to....in fact, we just don't make them anymore at all. These are a few pieces we've retired from production to make room for all the exciting new gear we have in the works. For a sneak preview of what's to come, check out "
What's New"

Please, welcome to our graveyard. Pull up a cadaver:

Sleeps with the fishes... Manley HIFI gear | Ancient history zombies: VTL-built Manley HIFI Gear
Good riddance... Manley and Langevin PRO Gear
Manley & Langevin Digital Converters no longer with us 
Need to exhume: Lost and forgotten - the UNdead?

Mastering Version Manley MID Pultec EQ R.I.P. (1996 - 2009) 

The Manley Enhanced Pultec EQ and MID FREQUENCY EQ's were also available with detented, logable BOOST & CUT control-switches precisely calibrated to 0.5 dB steps or as required.

On the Manley Mastering Pultecs, the switches were built as 11 x 0.5dB steps for max range of 5.5dB on each control. The BANDWIDTH control was also built as 11 steps on a switch instead of a pot.

As of 10/2009 we no longer offer Mastering Versions of the Manley MID or EQP1A Equalizers.

We do not offer our Stereo Unit as a Mastering version, and no, we will not convert a "normal" version unit to a Mastering one.
