Mini Massive - first listen!

ElectriK Noize · 18th January 2004

I was reading somewhere else about a new product from Manley being shown at NAMM. Something like a smaller version of their Massive Passive. Is this true? Anyone got some info? Seems like a neat concept.

YES ,CHECK MANLEY WEBSITE http://www.manleylabs.com/BIGPIXPAGE...assivepic.html

zimv20 · 18th January 2004

is this, in fact, the first Manley-branded solid-state product? i wonder why they didn't brand it Langevin.

Berolzheimer · 18th January 2004

I think they ought to call it the Mini-Massive Active-Passive.

**Lindell** · 18th January 2004

Its not tube either.....
Looking forward for a street price ´round $ 1595

The Manley 16x2 mixer has ICs in it as well.

I was chatting with Hutch the other day and we might just move the Mini Massive into the Langevin stable. Gotta lay it out and get it ready for production first though... along with all those other new products...

that makes sense to me ;-), solid state, kind of "budget" massivo...

WOW that's ambitious!! LOOOT's of new stuff. The MiniMassive looks interesting.

Jules · 11th October 2005

Sounds sweet!

It has different HF than it's bigger brother...!!!

Huge warm sub....

Headphone test in AES hall was v positive.. keen to hear it in my control room now......

deft_bonz · 11th October 2005

Jules, is it labeled with Langevin or Manley. I was shocked when I read the website of Eve. Why label it with Langevin when the big brother is a Manley.

I know that it doesn't matter for the sound, but you know

max cooper · 11th October 2005

I think that as a rule, Manley gear with no tubes is called Langevin.

andreªs · 11th October 2005

Mmh, the pic on their website says Manley.

Johnny B · 11th October 2005

Hmmm, I'll bet it sounds fantastic.

Dangerous Dave · 11th October 2005

Correct but if you do a search on here you will find that Eve Anna said it is going to be under the Langevin Stable.

Peace

max cooper · 11th October 2005

Not that I've compared them, but instinctively, I think I'd prefer a solid-state MP on the mixbuss. Not that the MP is a drag to use, or anything.

I read that too, it's just because "Manley" is engraved in the frontpanel. Finalley it doesn't matter as long as it sounds fantastic, what it sure does

Duardo · 12th October 2005

The model they showed at AES had knobs that were a little different than the one in the picture above (which, if I recall correctly, were on the ones they showed at AES two years ago). They're a little more rounded. Personally I prefer the older ones, although I wouldn't base a purchase decision on them...

Hey Eve Anna, how about an exclusive for the slutz?

Everything from their house does. If not one one project, then on another. I personally adore my preamps and EQs, and own both Langevin and Manley brands- they are THE SH*TE.

Much respect to EveAnna & Hutch !

Johnny B · 17th October 2005

Yep, they run a quality shoppe for sure.

andreªs · 16th November 2005

Right on! Just don't forget to throw some love David's way!!!

**EveAnna Manley** · 17th November 2005

Sorry guys I was slow updating the photo... and if we were shipping gobs of them already that would help too! The first few are dribbling out, and more after the new year. I think we're pretty much booked out for production for the rest of this year, on old products!

guitar_boy5 · 22nd November 2005

Looks interesting, and a bit different from the Massive....

holy red knobs, batman!!!

judging from this color scheme and the new manley website, i think EveAnna's gone color blind....

XHipHop · 24th November 2005

I like the colors and i'm definitely getting one of these.
