Experience the same clarity and tube detail as the boutique hardware.
Now compatible with any soundcard on Mac and PC
Manley tube mic preamps are a modern classic, adding unmistakable clarity and detail to any signal that passes through them. Now, you can easily get the harmonically "alive" Class‑A sound in a simple plug-in.
