Its capsule designed by David Josephson, combined with an adjustable rear acoustic chamber, recreates the sought-after vintage character while adding the reliability and consistency of modern manufacturing. Enjoy a retro sonic aesthetic with the peace of mind of a five-year manufacturer's warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Studios Seeking Character Without Compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mic is aimed at sound engineers, producers, and high-end home studios looking for a tube large-diaphragm microphone with a \"record\" character. It shines on \u003cstrong\u003evocals\u003c\/strong\u003e (especially female), \u003cstrong\u003esaxophones\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ebrass sections\u003c\/strong\u003e, and proves formidable as \u003cstrong\u003eoverheads\u003c\/strong\u003e to smooth out cymbal brightness. Also consider it as an alternative where you would typically use a ribbon microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Design and Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Reference Silver is its large-diaphragm capsule modeled after the C-37a. The adjustable rear acoustic chamber allows you to select cardioid directivity for pronounced forward focus, or omni for a more natural room capture. This lets you tailor the mic to the source and room acoustics in one simple adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts electronic architecture is unconventional for Manley: the high-impedance signal from the capsule is first handled by a \u003cstrong\u003eFET\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve integrity, then amplified by the \u003cstrong\u003e5670\u003c\/strong\u003e tube in cathode follower mode. The \u003cstrong\u003eManley IRON\u003c\/strong\u003e transformer finally delivers a robust signal with a solid low-mid foundation and a studio-typical smooth high end. The output level is lower than other Reference models, providing comfortable headroom on high-level sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10 Hz - 30 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eLarge Diaphragm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eomnidirectional, cardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable rear acoustic chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003echoice of cardioid or omni polar patterns.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural voicing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e\u0026quot;rich and creamy\u0026quot; tone, round without being dark.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Manley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356569555219,"sku":"255913","price":5149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/62883234fd04a11ee1c82d83c851dfaa68574458_MANLEY_SILVER_REF.jpg?v=1789336105","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/manley-reference-silver-255913","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
