A Clean, Lean, Solid-state Passive EQ
The Langevin Mini-Massive is the little brother to Manley's Massive Passive EQ. This new EQ is based on the same passive EQ sections as the Massive Passive's Low Band and High Band and shares most of the same components and circuit layout. The Mini-Massive is smaller at only 1U high and about half the price and includes some new features, refinements and a new level of clarity fit for mastering at its best.

Manley/Langevin Mini-Massive EQ at a Glance:
  • Refined shelf settings and higher-Q bell shapes
  • Astonishingly clean sound from new amps
  • Option for transformer outputs
  • Can be patched for mono 4-band EQ
  • Clean, lean EQ with outstanding performance

Refined shelf settings and higher-Q bell shapes
Manley re-visited the four lowest shelf settings, and the four highest frequency shelf settings, plus added new higher Q bell shapes for the four highest frequencies. This gives even more opportunities for Pultec-like fatness and beyond in the deep lows. The new high-frequency curves are designed for air, sweetness and sparkle. Compared to the Massive Passive, the toggle switch that selects between Bell and Shelf, has become a 3-position switch, to introduce the new higher Q Bell curves on the four highest frequencies. These features give the Mini-Massive even more power and flexibility to achieve that elusive big round tight bottom and silky atmospheric top.

Astoishingly clean sound from new amps
The Mini-Massive uses four of the new Manley Rapture Amplifiers for gain. These came about in the long search for the cleanest and most musically involving gain stage Manley could get and were originally intended for a cost-no-object digital/analog converter. These are further augmented by both series and shunt power supply regulators, to provide a refined low noise power supply. Like the Massive Passive, huge headroom is available and the Mini-Massive will output +30dBv balanced into 50 ohms. And rather than using unstable cross-coupled outputs to drive balanced or unbalanced loads, the Mini-Massive can accommodate balanced or unbalanced +4, or unbalanced -10 loads, and each one is always driven optimally. It plays well with others.

Switchable option for transformer outputs
For those who would prefer transformer outputs, there is an option for the same transformers as in the Massive Passive. These can add a subtle degree of warmth and smoothness by themselves. A 3-way toggle on the back panel (IRON) not only allows those with the transformer option, to bypass the transformer, or to use the transformers, or to force them into a more vintage-like flavor for even more fat and aggressive colors.

Can be patched for mono 4-band EQ
Of course, for those who want a mono 4-band EQ only need to patch the output of Channel 1 into the input of Channel 2. The low band ends at 1K and the high band begins at 560. Shelf frequencies still go that far and still offer dramatic curves.

Clean, lean EQ with outstanding performance
The Mini-Massive is the EQ for those who consider the Massive Passive too big, too expensive, or too colored - or maybe not the first choice for extreme lows or extreme highs. The Massive Passive was designed to be a tube EQ with character and with the creative potential of forgotten passive techniques. The Mini-Massive is a clean, lean machine, with the same EQ performance and then some, where you want it most. It will be your first-choice EQ for most things.
