Manley ELOP Limiter

Set it and forget it! – a limiter that makes your job easy.




Set it and forget it! The Manley Optical ELOP
Limiter makes your job easy. The principle of operation is based around
using a rectified sample of the audio to shine an LED (Light Emitting
Diode) onto an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). The photo-resistor in
combination with a fixed resistor simply act as a changing voltage
divider to attenuate the signal &mdash like a smart volume control. A
similar principle was found in the older Teletronix & Urei LA-2A,
LA-3, and LA-4 units, which used a slower electro-luminescent
panel-light on a conventional LDR encased in a light-tight enclosure.
The Manley ELOP Limiter uses modern VACTROL technology (but with a
trick!) for exact sample-to-sample tracking and no high frequency loss
while digging deep into limiting &mdash problems commonly associated
with older LA-series limiters and other opto-based units.

The
audio signal passes only through Manley's super-clean single-ended
vacuum tube line amplifier. Due to its inherently quick attack, this
Electro-Optical Limiter is a skilled soldier for tracking vocals or
individual instruments, although now with the addition of a very useful
sidechain high-pass filter that can switch between 100Hz or 200Hz (or
OUT) to allow the limiter to ignore heavy bass lines, the Manley ELOP
limiter is proving more useful for modern urban music where you don't
want the limiter only responding to the loudest "thing" i.e., the BIG
bass. If you want the bass line to leave the rest of the mix alone, then
this switch is for you!

Side-chain high-pass filter 100hz or 200hz
Thd & noise (1khz @ +4 dbm): .015%
Noise floor (gain set to minimum): -80 db wideband
Signal to noise ratio: 126 db typical
Maximum gain: 15 db
Power consumption: 40 watts
Operating mains voltage: units are purpose built for original
destination country's mains voltage: 100v, 120v, or 220-240vac as
indicated on the serial number badge. Power transformer must be replaced
in order to change mains operating voltage.
120vac units may not be rewired to put the primaries of the power
transformer in series for 220-240v operation or a large radiated field
of hum will develop. If changing locations/voltages, the power
transformer must be replaced with the dedicated one for the voltage at
which it will operate.
Mains voltage frequency: 50 ˜ 60hz
Dimensions: 19"w x 3-1/2"h x 10"d (occupies 2u)
Shipping weight: 16 lb.
