Remember THIS post? Well the folks at Manley Labs lashed out at me with wreckless abandon. WHY hasn’t anyone else ever thought of such a genius piece of gear?!
Never before has auditioning mics been so easy. The Manley MicMAID is designed to let you audition and select between up to four microphones and four microphone preamplifiers. Simply plug them all into this box, push the buttons, and pick your favorite combo! You can hear every mic through every pre, match output levels for each and every signal path, and save your favorite settings with the push of a button – all without unplugging a single cable. There’s even a front-panel DI with variable phase adjustment to guarantee a perfect match with your other inputs. As with all Manley products, the MicMAID is hand-built right here in the USA. Start cleaning up YOUR workflow with a MicMAID! Shipping begins first quarter of 2010.
