Manley has made a mastering engineer's version of the Massive Passive without breaking your bank account! This EQ is supposed to be somewhat different from any EQ you may have used before, and is based on the requests of numerous end users of the original Massive Passive EQ. Like the Manley Variable MU, you'll find the Massive Passive can easily make anything sound better. Mastering engineers will love the mechanically detented knobs for the GAIN and BANDWIDTH controls. They are a clever two-part metal design using a ball and spring detent system. They ensure repeatability and a good, positive feel, without the incredible cost and space problems tons of Grayhill switches would have caused.
Features:
- All-Passive tone sculpting circuitry
- Unique Shelf curves use the bandwidth control
- Overlapping and Interleaved Frequency choices
- Every band switchable to shelf or bell
- Vacuum tube make-up gain and line drivers
