Experience pristine audio capture with the Manley SLAM!, a powerhouse in the realm of studio recording gear. This stereo limiter and microphone preamplifier is designed to elevate your sound with its robust, tube-driven architecture. The SLAM! combines high-quality tube mic preamps with dual limiter technologies, offering versatility and precision in your recordings.

The SLAM! features two independent channels of Class-A tube mic preamplification, each equipped with switchable 48V phantom power and phase inversion, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones. With up to 60dB of gain and an additional 20dB from the limiter, even the quietest whispers can be captured with clarity. Its direct input (DI) is perfect for instruments, offering a warm, tube-enhanced sound.
