Manley M162ML16x2 8+8 Mic/Line Mixer

A versatile mixer made for Workstation-based studio owners who want that Manley sound.




For years, a small recording studio has had two
choices: Spend big bucks for a big console or petty cash for a mini
mixer with a mini sound. One is overkill and the other kills the music.
These days, studios based around workstations need a simple, but superb
mixer. Manley has addressed this problem by presenting a choice of three
different versions of the 16 into 2 Mixer: LINE, MIC, and an 8+8
MIC/LINE combination that let users select a configuration to best
accommodate their studio needs.

The 8+8 version mixes it up, with
8 mic channels and 8 line channels, making it a great mixing console
for location recording, keyboard rigs and general purpose tasks.

The
Manley mixer's channel input jack is a Neutrik Combo which accepts XLR
or 1/4" phone plugs. It is perfectly happy with either balanced or
unbalanced sources. In the MIC version, the XLR has the appropriate 2400
ohm impedance and switches to 68K for the 1/4" plugs. There are
balanced direct outputs on every channel post fade and pre cut for
multitrack recording.

Each channel uses the best sounding chips
Manley knows of (Burr Brown INA103, OPA2604, Linear Technology LT1010)
in Hutch's circuits with exceptional headroom and very low noise, real
pro level input and output levels, and bulletproof Manley quality
throughout. Spec-wise experts know of few mixers ever with better
headroom or higher output levels and, well, this Manley mixer's
subterranean noise floor and crosstalk figures are simply quite amazing.
The signal path has just 3 superb polystyrene caps from input to
output. No carbon resistors, just 1/2 watt metal film, Bourns conductive
plastic pots, Grayhill stepped attenuators, etc. All the good stuff.

Manley
didn't make this thing all-tube for "ad appeal" and sales hype. They
certainly could have, but the 8+8 mixer would have grown into the size
of a small house, and needed an accompanying 5-Ton AC unit. However, the
tube mix amps/line drivers are right at the end and impart that "Manley
Sound" to your final outputs with all the richness, loudness and BIG
sound you expect from us. Built like a tank and easy to service.

Mutes
and Solos use superior relay switching techniques not crummy FETs or
CMOS switching. The Solo is of the "mute everything else" type. The
buttons are EAO Series 19 and light up to indicate Mute and Solo. Insert
and Phase Reverse also use high quality relays and both functions have
tiny switches and red LED's to clearly indicate when they're selected.

The
master section provides mixdown to 2 channels achieved with similar
tube circuits as used in the Massive Passive, featuring two each 12AT7
NOS Phillips & 6414 NOS GE or Raytheon dual triodes. The M162ML
console's external inputs allow two or more mixers to be combined for 32
or more channels with a mini-banana post linking the Solo functions.
There are both transformer balanced and transformerless unbalanced
(+4dBm) outputs with tons of headroom, +36dBu, about 10dB better than
million-dollar consoles. The master section has an aux mix gain (master
effects send) in the LINE version and an Ext input gain in the MIC
version. The Manley M162ML mixer are two sets of monitor outputs, MAIN
and MINI, so you can feed two different sets of power amps or powered
speakers. Manley included MUTE and DIM buttons plus a rotary switch to
monitor the main mix, the mono mix, 2 track tape playback (more balanced
inputs), the Ext inputs (for linked consoles or effects returns), and
the aux mix (only on LINE version).

The dedicated power supply
unit cranking out all the necessary filtered and regulated DC voltages
to power up this beast is external further reducing noise and heat.

Channels
1-8 have Mic Inputs feature XLR/1/4" combo inputs,direct outputs post
fader balanced 1/4" One mono Aux mix, stereo Ext input (for linking) (no
gain trim), stereo Tape return, Mix gain with both XLR balanced and

Each of the 8 Mic channels has a volume control, pan
and aux knobs plus lit EAO solo and mute buttons. Internal jumper to
allow Aux to be Pre-Fade, Pre-Mute, or Post-Fade and Mute. Ther is a 48V
Phantom power switch for each bank of 4 mic channels.

9-16 Line Inputs have XLR/1/4" combo inputs (XLR is 2400 ohms, 1/4" is
68 kOhms), direct outputs post fader balanced 1/4", 1/4" insert, stereo
Ext input (for linking) (with gain trim), stereo Tape return, Mix gain
with both XLR balanced and 1/4" +4 dBm unbalanced outputs. 5 position

dB of gain. Each channel has Phase Switch & Insert switch on mini
toggles with LED status indicators. Internal jumper to allow Aux to be
Pre-Fade, Pre-Mute, or Post-Fade and Mute.
