They have been building these Manley Pultec EQs since 1990 after they bothered to hunt down Eugene Shenk in New Jersey to ask for his permission and blessings to produce their own version of his classic piece. These enhanced Pultec units employ Manley's simple and clean all-tube make-up gain block to reamplify the signal after the passive EQ circuit. EQ may be set to 'flat' positions or BYPASSED entirely. All BOOST and CUT controls are continuously variable conductive plastic potentiometers for absolutely silent operation and long life. These single rack unit monoblocks occupy one-third of the space of the 'antique Pultecs', an important consideration for allocation of outboard rack space. And if you notice, a couple extra frequencies have been added too. The rear mounted input switch selects 0 degrees or 180 degrees PHASE INVERT for the balanced gold pin XLR input or the transformerless unbalanced bridging input (1\/4\" jack) may be selected in that switch's middle position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're wondering if this Pultec EQ sounds like the old ones, the answer is \"Yes! But better!\" The originals had three transformers in the signal path whereas these can be used completely transformerless. The Manley Enhanced Pultec has a vastly superior B+ power supply, with regulated and balanced heater supply. The line amp is known to be killer-sounding. The components used today just weren't available in the 1960's. So, if you want a project with crackling carbon pots, dirty open frame wafer switches, 5% and 10% tolerance noisy carbon resistors, exposed tubes sticking out the back of the 3U chassis, etc., go pay top dollar for an antique Pultec!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MANLEY PULTEC EQP-1A, available in both single and 2-channel versions, uses 1 x 12AX7WA and 1 x 6414 (or 5965) in the ALL-TUBE single-ended line amplifier for the gain make-up and extra-beefy sound; gain is factory set for unity but additional gain is available by a rear mounted feedback adjustment trimpot. The Manley Pultecs offer both transformer coupled balanced and direct capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs for easy interface and sonic variety. Kick drum? Bring on the Pultecs and all the iron you can muster! You'll soon discover the power and magic of having those individual Low Frequency BOOST and CUT controls in that LF shelf circuit. Need a little clarity or extension? Try that middle bell-shaped Boost dialing in the sharpness of the boost on the BANDWIDTH control. Something bugging you? Ease it off with the HF shelf cut. You'll see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMANLEY input transformer with nickel laminations potted in mu-metal case; 3K Ohm input Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePHASE REVERSE switch for balanced XLR input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate transformerless 1\/4-inch Hi-Z (5 kOhm) input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBYPASS switch and AUTO-MUTE with warmup delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent conductive plastic BOOST and CUT controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed gold-contact Greyhill frequency select switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVacuum Tubes: 1 x 12AX7 (gain) and 1 x 12BH7 (or 6414 or 5965) White Follower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-current drive less than 50 Ohm Lo-Z XLR and 1\/4-inch outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced Transformer-Coupled XLR Outputs via MANLEY 9611\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat frequency response from 10 Hz - 70 KHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess than 0.01% THD @ 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N Ratio: 116 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable FEEDBACK \/ GAIN: Unity ±5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output: +30 dBv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Consumption: 18 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains Voltage Frequency: 50 ~ 60 Hz*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 x 3.5 x 10 inches \/ 483 x 89 x 254 mm (occupies 1U)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight: 12 lbs \/ 5.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e*Operating mains voltage: Units are purpose built for original destination country's mains voltage (100V, 120V, or 220-240VAC) as indicated on the serial number badge.
