MANLEY ELOP+ STEREO LIMITER COMPRESSOR

Since the early 1990’s, the Manley ELOP® stereo electro-optical limiter has been a tracking hero - effortlessly controlling dynamics on countless records around the globe and delivering the coveted classic, all-tube sound for which Manley Labs is known. This LA-2A type unit allows for deep amounts of limiting without loss of high frequencies: it literally works (and sounds) like a changing volume control.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

  • 10:1 Limiter and 3:1 Compressor ratios

  • All-tube audio path uses 5751 (gain) and 6922 (White Follower Output) dual triodes each channel

  • Balanced Manley IRON® transformer-coupled XLR Inputs

  • XLR impedance-balanced outputs

  • BYPASS switches and AUTOMUTE with warm-up delay

  • Large illuminated VU meters read Gain Reduction or Output levels

  • STEREO LINK

  • Side-Chain High-Pass Filter

  • Standby Power Consumption: 0.5 Watts

  • Universal internal power supply operates worldwide 90-250V~AC 50/60Hz

  • ALL-TUBE audio path using a 5751 for gain, 6922 White Follower output tube (one each per channel)

  • Silent Conductive Plastic GAIN control.

  • Balanced MANLEY IRON Transformer coupled XLR input.

  • Input impedance: 14 kOhms

  • Maximum input level: +18dBu or 4.8V RMS @ 0.01% THD

  • Hi-current White Follower Impedance Balanced XLR output.

  • Output impedance=150 Ohms

  • Maximum Output with 100 kOhm load= +30dBu @.009%THD+N, BW 22Hz-22Khz, 1Khz sine

  • Maximum Output with 600 Ohm load= +20dBu @.015%THD+N, BW 22Hz-22Khz, 1Khz sine

  • Output Headroom (Referenced to +4dBu)= 26dB

  • Frequency Response= -0.15dB @ 10Hz, -0.1dB @ 20KHz

  • Total Harmonic Distortion (1kHz sine @ +4dBu, BW 22Hz-22kHz) = 0.004 % THD+N

  • Noise Floor Limiter Bypass= -90dBu (BW 22Hz-22kHz)

  • Noise Floor Limiter Engaged= -88dBu (BW 22Hz-22kHz) Input set to Unity gain

  • Dynamic Range= 118dB

  • Signal to Noise Ratio = 92dB (Referenced to +4dBu)

  • Bypass mode = Signal goes thru ALL-TUBE audio path (Bypasses limiter) this is not a “hardwire bypass”

  • Unity Gain= Set Input Attenuator @ 1:00 o’clock

  • Maximum Gain= 13 dB

  • Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)= 77dB (BW 22Hz-22Khz, +4dBu, 1Khz sine)

  • Limiter Ratio= 10:1

  • Compressor Ratio= 3:1

  • Limiter: Attack= 15ms

  • Limiter Release= 200ms

  • Compressor: Attack= 75ms Release= 200ms

  • Attack/Release times measured under following conditions: 4dB of Gain Reduction, 1kHz sine, +4dbu Input level, to 63% of total.

  • Attack times are faster with higher input levels and heavier gain reduction. Typically for complete release, release times increases up to a couple of seconds, depending upon the amount of previous reduction.

  • Maximum Limiting (with +4dBu 1Khz sine)= 12dB

  • Maximum Compression (with +4dBu 1Khz sine)= 6dB

  • Side-Chain High Pass Filter= 80Hz (Internal user adjust jumper to 150Hz)

  • Automute warmup delay=30 seconds

  • Operating mains voltage= 90 to 254 VAC (internal universal power supply)

  • Mains voltage Frequency= 50-60 Hz

  • Power consumption= 26 Watts

  • Dimensions= (w,d,h) 19" x 7 x 3 1⁄2" (occupies 2u)

  • Unit weight= 9.5 Ib

  • Shipping weight= 10 Ib
