MNUMU - Two Channel Compressor with hybrid ciurit design
Building upon Manleys proud heritage, the Manley Nu Mu® merges the esoteric “T-Bar mod” all-tube front end from the legendary Manley Variable Mu® and makes it standard followed by a solid state audio chain for the smoothest dynamics action coupled to the punchiest sonic path. Featuring Manley’s HIP function, the Nu Mu finesses dynamic control to bring up lower level details without knocking the life out of exciting transients. Smartly engineered to build efficiently and esthetically designed to elicit ravishing compliments from clients, both visually and ergonomically, the Manley Nu Mu breaks new ground in performance and value, all proudly handbuilt in California, of course!
