This Microphone Preamplifier is a low cost way to enjoy good old high-end performance. It is built to the same standards as the Manley gear and uses all of the same top quality components.

Page 4: Mains Connections
MAINS CONNECTIONS Your unit has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel.

BASICS This Microphone Preamp, like most mic preamps, is pretty easy to use.

Page 10: Tech Notes
TECH NOTES PHANTOM POWER FUSE In earlier sections we explained most of the possible small disasters that can happen when phantom power is used. The big one is damage to other gear not designed for phantom. This includes old ribbon mics, non-pro battery powered mics and possibly other things we have yet to hear about. FOUR reasonable rules: 1) Most modern mics with 3 pin XLR connectors will be safe and there is no need to worry unless you own some exotic or real cheap mics. -
