Mercenary Audio - Manley Stereo Pultec EQP-1A

The Manley Pultec EQP-1A, now available in both single and 2-channel versions, uses 1 x 12AU7WA and 1 x 6414 in our 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. Like their 40dB Mic Preamps, the Manley Pultecs offer both transformer coupled balanced and direct capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs for easy interface and sonic variety.

Manley Stereo Pultec EQP-1A features

Manley Labs is the only authorized user of the original Western Electric passive EQ circuitry previously licensed to Pulse Techniques, Inc. found in the well-known (and still sought after in the used market) antique Pultecs.

All boost and cut controls are continuously variable conductive plastic potentiometers for absolutely silent operation and long life. This 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, they've added a couple extra frequencies 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. EQ may be set to 'flat' positions or bypassed entirely.

"Mastering" version of the Manley Stereo Pultec EQP-1A available by special order, with detented, logable BOOST & CUT control-switches precisely calibrated to 0.5 dB steps or as required. Please email us if you are interested.
