Manley Variable MU Mastering

Stereo Compressor / Limiter

The Manley Variable MU® Limiter Compressor is one of the very few compressors that has become a real standard in Mastering studios and contributed to most hit records over the last decade and probably the next. "MU" is tube-speak for gain, and Variable MU® is Manley's registered trademark for this limiter compressor. It works by using the "remote cut-off" or re-biasing of a vaccuum tube to achieve compression. The precious vintage Fairchild 670 also uses this technique and is one of few all-tube compressor to do so. Even the side-chain has glowing rectifier bottles. The unique 5670 dual triode is at the center of the peak-reducing and compression action constantly being re-biased by the vacuum tube rectified side-chain control voltages which cause this tube to smoothy change its gain.

The COMPRESS mode is soft-knee 1.5 to 1 ratio while the sharper knee LIMIT mode starts at 4 to 1 and moves to a more dramatic ratio of 20 to 1 when limiting over 12dB. Interestingly, the knee actually softens as more limiting is used. Distortion can be creatively used by turning up the Input and turning down the Output while using very little or no compression. 

You might notice that the Variable MU® Limiter Compressor has a ganged input control, but do not jump to conclussions that it is mono-friendly. Track away! There are separate threshold and output controls to make compresations with plus you can always adjust your individual source levels elsewhere. The advantage of the stereo input control becomes dramatically clear when you switch to LINK mode, and that's what Variable MU® Limiter Compressor does.
