Chapter 30: Manley Massive Passive EQ
When set to Link (up position), modifying any channel one or channel two
control causes its adjacent stereo counterpart control to snap to the same po-
sition (channel 1 & 2 controls are ganged together in Link mode).
When Link is active, automation data is written and read for channel one
only. In this case, the automation data for channel one will control both chan-
nels.
Note:
When Link is active, changing channel two parameters from a control
surface or when in “controls only” (non-GUI) mode will have no effect.
When set to unlink (down position), the controls for channels one and two are
completely independent. Unlink is generally used in mono mode. When un-
linked, automation data is written and read by each channel separately.
Note:
If disparate values are set under the unlinked state, the left channel will
override the right channel when Link is activated.
Massive Passive Latency
The Massive Passive and Massive Passive Mastering EQs use an internal up-
sampling technique to facilitate their amazing sonic accuracy. This upsam-
pling results in a slightly larger latency than other UAD plug-ins. See
pensating Upsampled Plug-Ins” on page 108
for more information.
Note:
Compensating for Massive Passive is not required if the host applica-
tion supports full plug-in delay compensation throughout the signal path, or
when it is used only on the outputs. See
Notes from Manley Laboratories
• Do not assume the knob settings “mean” what you expect they should
mean. Part of this is due to the interaction of the controls. Part is due to the
new shelf slopes and part due to a lack of standards regarding shelf spec-
ification.
• You may find yourself leaning towards shelf frequencies closer to the mids
than you are used to and the “action” seems closer to the edges of the spec-
trum than your other EQs. Same reasons as above.
