Manley Massive Passive Stereo EQ

With simple passive components that allow twice as much EQ with half the coloration.




The Manley Massive Passive is a two-channel,
four-band equalizer with additional high-pass and low-pass filters.
"Passive" refers to the tone-shaping part of this clever EQ design,
which doesn't use any active circuitry. Only metal film resistors, film
capacitors and hand-wound inductors sculpt the sound—kinda like a Pultec
EQ on hyper-steroids. Super-beefy, hugely-high-headroom Manley all-tube
make-up gain amplifiers deliver your tunes into the next realm.

Creating
natural, organic, acoustic tone can only be done with an equalizer that
treats the signal with natural methods. The Manley Massive Passive uses
simple passive components and exploits their natural qualities rather
than forcing a complex circuit to meet an arbitrary clinical or
scientific goal. Manley knows that recording and mastering equalizers
are used by artists for artistic goals and they balanced this design
with a little more art than science. The Massive Passive Equalizer is
intended both for the most radical EQ sometimes needed for tracking as
well as the most subtle shadings for vocals and mastering. It is
designed to be a fundamentally different EQ but incorporates the best
strengths of Pultecs, choice console EQs, parametrics and graphics. The
difference is that the Manley Massive allows twice as much EQ with half
the coloration. It allows huge HF boosts without sibilance problems and
unbelievable fatness without mud. This is unique. Being different also
gives it some quirks and idiosyncrasies that will spark your creativity
and sense of audio adventure.

The Filters — 5 frequencies Hi Pass
and bypass, PLUS 5 frequencies Lo Pass with bypass. Manley made them
extra steep. 36dB/oct! Why? When you need to remove the garbage, this
does the trick and allows more of the real music to be untouched. The
other reason is that it sounds killer when combined with the regular
bands. Towards the mids this degree of steepness may be tamed somewhat.
Thinking drums and guitar stacks, and other tough jobs. These filters
are passive too.
