Have you seen our new Reference Mic Power Supply?
We are delighted to report that all Manley Reference microphones – Cardioid, Silver, and Gold – are now shipping with the new MANLEY POWER® switch-mode power supply.
So aside from the new red power switch, the cool lightning bolts and the logo badge on top, what’s different about it?
This new power supply is empirically quieter than the older PSUs. Sonically, we hear faster highs, generally more clarity, and ‘blacker blacks’ in the silence. The new power supply is also universal - accepting any voltage or frequency - so it works anywhere in the world without a voltage changeover switch or power transformer rewiring.
The guts of the mics themselves have also been completely redesigned to work with these new PSUs (different PCBs, different heater voltages, different XLR jacks, and more) so unfortunately it’s not plug-n-play compatibility with older Manley mics. Apologies!
