Manley Labs

User Feedback wanted! 🔊 We are working on an evolution of the legendary VARIABLE MU®️ - and NO, we will NOT change the sound, of course! It's perfect as it is. 😍

But we are thinking about changing the INPUT GAIN from 1 stereo k**b to 2 separate k**bs, see pictures below.

🔥 The advantage would be a WAY more flexible unit that could also be used for tracking or mixing 2 separate mono signals, and easier integration into M/S setups.

❓ Potential downside: in stereo mastering applications you would need to adjust both gain k**bs equally to control input gain, vs a single k**b right now.

✅ Further improvements would include our universal power supply (finally), modern LED switches in line with our newer products, and VU meters fully integrated and closer together.

Wadda ya think guys? 🤷🏼‍♂️😎 Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! ✌️
