MANLEY Reference Cardioid black

The Reference Cardioid Microphone shares the same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series, but has a fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm. Reminiscent of the beloved U47, C12, and ELA-M 251 variants, consistently admired when used for vocals, guitars, and other instruments most often recorded in fairly close proximity in today's studio tracking and overdub assignments.

MANLEY Reference Gold Multipatter all tube

 The all-tube electronics in the MANLEY REFERENCE SERIES MICROPHONES consists of two triodes in cascade forming an entire gain-block. The tube employed is a dual-triode USA military 6072A, easily obtainable and replaceable, mounted in a ceramic socket with pure silver pins. The output is coupled through a MANLEY output transformer of unparalleled quality and substantial physical size employing pure nickel laminations with "hum bucking" bi-filar windings, encased in mu-metal. The polar pattern control is continuously variable between the OMNI, CARDIOID, and FIGURE 8 positions. We have chosen a very open weave stainless-steel grille for the capsule window for zero-loss acoustical transmission.

MANLEY Reference Stereo Multipattern all tube

The Stereo GOLD REFERENCE microphone is identical in every respect to the MONO GOLD REFERENCE but with two complete systems installed in one case with the upper capsule being fixed and the lower capsule being continuously ROTATABLE through 90° for X-Y BLUMLEIN-STYLE coincident pair recording technique. Each capsule has its own continuously variable PATTERN control and individual -10dB PAD switch for close miking of extra-ordinarily powerful brass and other instruments.
