Manleys's Slam With The Digital Option Pre-Installed!

SLAM! stands for "Stereo Limiter And Micpre". The SLAM! starts with tube Mic Preamps on both channels with switchable phantom power and phase reverse. There’s plenty of gain for you in this new tube circuit, up to 60dB with 20dB more in the limiter– plenty for soft singers using low output ribbon mics. The input attenuator is right up front, like a variable pad so your loud rock ‘n’ rollers won’t cause a problem either. Track direct with the Direct Instrument input or bring your line level inputs into the SLAM! for processing.

When it comes to classic gear, especially classic limiters, numbers like LA2s, 1176s, 2264s, and others come to mind. What if all those sounds were to be found in one stereo tube unit? Manely combined their ever-popular Electro-Optical circuit with a fast FET based brick-wall limiter reminiscent of some cool classics. What is especially nifty is the ability to use the ELOP and FET limiters together at the same time dialing in whatever amounts of each effect you like. Every limiter has its own character or sound and here we have combined two powerful world-class tools that can be uniquely blended and mixed to taste and purpose. Even the metering is appropriate for each limiter so you can easily see how each is contributing.

Got some Digital to deal with? No problem. The optional 24 Bit/96KHz Analog to Digital converter and 24 Bit/192KHz Digital to Analog converter card comes pre-installed! This allows you to record directly to your computer or workstation and provides a convenient way to use a digital insert to jump into the analog realm and back. AES and SPDIF digital inputs receive your stereo digital signal to convert to analog for processing by the SLAM! when the DAC input is selected.

The back panel should keep everybody happy. All the usual XLR’s for transformer balanced I/O and 1/4" phone jacks for direct unbalanced I/O. There are four TRS jacks for inserting external EQ into the sidechains and another connector for linking multiple units for surround. It’s all here. The optional 24 bit converters are a brand new design that insures the lowest possible conversion jitter even with questionable sources. It will lock to an external clock via the digital input and is 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, and 192KHz capable. The RCA phono jacks are selectable for SPDIF or AES levels and impedances. The DAC output is always available.
