Key Features
Product Ref: 75866
The Manley Mastering Slam bears some differences to the original Slam, including the lack of mic preamps and an input select switch. Replacing those are dedicated mode switches: one each for the ELOP and the FET limiters. The ELOP limiter now has more ratios: 10:1, 5:1, 3:1, 2:1 and an added feature calle AutoHF which starts off as a 1.5:1 ratio and increases gradually to 10:1 fro highs. The FET limiter also becomes more versatile, with new modes including 50 , NORM, LP Lim, BOTH, and CLIP. Further upgrades include an unbalanced 1/4" jack input select to replace the phantom toggle, a DAC select switch, a master stereo LIMIT bypass switch to replace the blue limit button, and finally, discrete detented switches in mostly 1 dB steps, with some appropriate 1/2 dB and 2 dB steps to replace all of the potentiometers on the front of the previous Slam.
The Mastering Slam allows you to meter raw input levels, ELOP limiter gain reduction, and final output levels with the dual, backlit VU meters. The VUs also utilise switchable pads at 0, -3dB and -6dB so that you can prevent clipping whilst mastering your audio. For even more visual feedback, the Slam features LED ladder peak meters so that you can monitor FET gain reductions, input levels, and output levels. The LED meters do Peak, Peak Hold timed, and Peak Hold until reset.
The Manley Mastering Slam also integrates the electro-optical circuit, found on the Manley ELOP. This features a convenient sidechain high-pass filter. The ELOP is equipped with 2 simple rotary controls to provide easy access to the control you need. The on-board FET-based brickwall limiter allows you to use both limiters at the same time to get as much of each effect as you like.
