i) An Introduction To The Manley Core Reference Channel Strip
Thank you for selecting the Manley CORE. This unit combines a high quality vacuum tube MIC
® ® Pre, an ELOP Compressor as found in our VOXBOX , an EQ section and a fast FET Brickwall
Limiter.
Musical. Flexible. Forgiving.
These three concepts were my main goals in designing the CORE channel strip. To give the
musician tools he or she really needs, without needless complication.
Why is this important?
Because recording has become more complicated than ever!
Computers, plug-ins, and software can easily distract from creating your music. By designing
a dedicated recording channel with very high quality stages – but without extra functions you
will rarely use – you can concentrate on your art, not worry about the technology.
The elements that make up the CORE are the result of decades of design, listening and
experience of working with engineers and musicians. The CORE may have fewer knobs than
other units, but I think they are the right knobs.
