Manley has built quite a few custom mastering consoles to

date and we are well versed in the specialized needs of mastering.

Each console has been different and we have worked closely with the mastering engineer to accommodate their individual requests. They use techniques that combine enough audiophilia with pro performance and acknowledge that the requirements

for mastering are truly demanding.

Manley Mastering Consoles are based on successfully proven philosophies:

Go for simplicity and make them as passive as possible using minimum

active devices for sonic purity. Reliability is a big reality for us. Highest

quality switches, parts, wire, and connectors are used throughout, componentry. Manley a long-proven track record with professional mastering houses. No compromise on quality anywhere. There are a number of basic types of mastering consoles and they are all very different from recording mixers
