Manley TNT 2-channel Mic Preamp $2700 The Manley TNT (Tubes No Tubes) 2-Channel Mic Preamp has two different and discrepant mic preamps in one box for two different sound colors. By popular demand, one channel is the exact same mic pre as in the Manley SLAM! with tubes and transformers. The second preamp is a fresh "No Tubes" design from Hutch and is inspired by old British console preamps with a tasty combination of "No Tubes" design with transformers. This one is not a clone of anything preexisting. It is a new flavor but reminiscent of that classic discrete sound. Both channels on the Manley TNT preamp are designed around the basic goal of "just plug a mic in and it sounds great." The tube channel excels on traditionally difficult sources like some bright guitars, reed and brass, cymbals and some vocals. The "No Tubes" channel might be more suited for smoother vocals, drums, bass and raunchy guitars, but you never really knows which preamp is best for the job at hand until you try them. At least you'll have two qualified candidates in one handy 1U chassis.The Manley TNT is a new concept in microphone preamplification for those who don't always need stereo everything but often need choices and often need the best. Besides, you probably have a number of typical stereo preamps and are still looking for that one killer preamp. Manley participated in 3D Audio's "Preamps in Paradise" forum, which was a remarkable opportunity to discuss preamps in depth and more importantly listen to what top engineers liked, disliked, and desired in the next generation of preamps. Manley Labs saw a need for a different unit that truly offered a rainbow of high-end preamp colors at an affordable price. The "T" (Tubes) channel starts off with the highly acclaimed vacuum tube micpre from the SLAM! that is certainly a contender amongst the best cost-no-object tube preamps. The "NT" (No Tubes) channel adds a no-compromise solid-state preamp that sets new sonic standards. Because the solid-state side uses two opposite topologies in tandem that are user controllable, it is like getting two preamp 'sounds' on that side alone.The number one request was variable input impedance somewhat tempered by the number one complaint that so far, the typical gain changes associated with that feature were not fun. Manley offers variable impedance done right, with typically near-zero gain changes. In fact, on the solid-state side a current-mode preamp is used for the lowest impedance and a voltage mode preamp is used for the highest impedance, and these two preamps are appropriately blended for the medium impedance settings. All of the microphone signal is used and almost none thrown away. Both the voltage-mode and current-mode stages are truly optimized and when one changes impedance settings, one hears the effects of how this changes microphone and cable characteristics as opposed to other approaches which mostly take the mic preamp out of its ideal conditions.

Audio mixers to mix different sounds and enhancing sound effects
Sound mixers, also called as sound boards or sound consoles are the most general type of audio equipment in the audio production world. Each sound operator should know about the different sound mixers available and the correct way to use them. A sound mixer take two and even more signals, merges them together and offers more than one output signal. In addition to mixing signals, sound mixers enable to adjust levels, improve sound with effects and equalization, make monitor feeds as well as record various mixes.
Mixers are available in wide variety of designs and sizes from massive studio consoles to little portable units. Mixers are generally described through the total number of channels they sport. For instance, a 12-channel mixer includes 12 input channels. That is you can put in 12 individual input sources. You may also notice a specification like “24x4x2” that signifies 24 input channels, four subgroups and 2 output channels.
The mixers accessible are perfect for project as well as home studios or also on stage and in the recording studios. Many of the mixers present incredibly low-noise along with separate mic pre THD and are proficient enough to handle sound inputs varying from whisper to scream or even can easily handle hot line level signals devoid of any extra coloration. Some mixers provides a control room or phones source matrix, tape outputs, Master aux section along with EFX, a high volume headphone amplifier as well as balanced TRS and XLR outputs.
The most amazing aspect of audio mixers is that instead of unsealed, cheap potentiometers, many of audio mixers include co-molded pots that provide substantial impact relief and strain. A majority of the audio mixers available are the perfect pick for any type of situation that needs superior audio mixing, particularly where budget or/and space constraints are a problem. The audio mixers are beneficial for all kinds of recording purposes, including mixing the line output of more than one instrument amps in one mixer channel.
What makes the audio mixers an essential part of the audio recording equipment are its various exclusive features that almost each mixer possess. Ultra low noise mixer along with highest headroom, 4 precision engineered XDR premium studio grade mic preamps, 14 line input, constant loudness pan pots, 3 band active EO of 2.5 kHz, 80 kHz and 12 kHz, phantom power for the premium condenser mics and in built power supply are few of the features of audio mixers.
Few audio mixers also sports planet earth switching power supply for the global use, separate 48v phantom power-switches at all mic inputs and 60 mm logarithmic tape faders for linear, smooth fades.
