Building upon their proud heritage, the Manley Nu Mu merges the esoteric T-Bar mod all-tube front end from the legendary Manley Variable Mu and makes it standard followed by a new solid state audio chain for the smoothest dynamics action coupled to the punchiest sonic path.Featuring Manley s new HIP function, the Nu Mu finesses dynamic control to bring up lower level details without knocking the life out of exciting transients. Smartly engineered to build efficiently and esthetically designed to elicit ravishing compliments from your clients, both visually and ergonomically, the Manley Nu Mu breaks new ground in performance and value, all proudly handbuilt in California, of course! HIP ControlThe HIP control allows compression to happen at lower volumes (lower in the dynamic range spectrum), but leaves the louder dynamics alone while still compressing the overall signal. You get louder soft sections and original dynamics of the louder sections.
