CloseThe Central Nervous System of Your Mastering Rig!
Mastering is its own beast, and it requires different gear than recording and mixing. If you're mastering music, you need to equip yourself properly for the task at hand, and that starts with the Backbone from Manley Labs. The Backbone is a toolbox for mastering engineers, giving you control over pretty much everything! No, really, we mean everything. Eight inserts let you run your track through your favorite EQs or compressors (by Manley, perhaps?) to do any final sweetening. Plus, there are handy little necessities like the ability to reverse the left and right channels, absolute polarity reverse, and a quartet of 24 position Grayhill switch attenuators to manage the input and output gain. The Backbone does all of this and more - and you won't know how you ever mastered a record without it. It will change the way you look at the magic of mastering and become the Backbone of your mastering rig!Tubes Rule! That's the sentiment EveAnna Manley and Manley Labs screams from the mountain top. And judging from the way Manley Labs gear sounds, tubes could very well rule! All of Manley's gear is designed and crafted in Chino, CA, and nothing but premium components are used. The end result is some of the finest gear you can put in your rack. If you're serious about your sound, get Manley and hear what you've been missing!
