MANLEY LABS MASTERING ROOM TUBE PREAMP WITH PHONO STAGE NEAR MINT CONDITION

This MANLEY LABS Mastering Room tube preamp is in NEAR MINT condition. It operates, looks and sounds FANTASTIC.

Please Note: this is the earlier version from the mid 1990’s.

This Mastering Room will only include its AC power cable. I am a master of packaging so you do not need to worry about it’s safety in shipment.

This Mastering Room originally sold for $4800 in late 1999 when it was built. There is no serial number – this unit was personally owned by David Manley.

The design is completely Dual-Mono with custom-designed power transformers. The audio boards are also separate.

All the wiring from the rear input connectors to the front selector switch and precision custom stepped attenuator is painstakingly hand wired using professional studio twisted pair shielded six-9's copper cable for optimum shielding and low noise characteristics.

The high-current line amplifier circuit employed is one that was developed and refined over the years in the MANLEY Professional series.
