Nu Mu Stereo Compressor/Limiter

With the all-tube front end of the “T-Bar Modded” Manley Variable MU (a compressor/limiter that has reached legendary status in the pro audio world), followed by a new solid-state audio chain, the Manley Labs Nu Mu delivers seriously smooth and punchy dynamics for exceptional performance – at a great price! The Nu Mu also features the new HIP function, which helps bring up lower-level details with out negatively affecting the more “exciting” transients. This dual-channel tube/solid state compressor/limiter also has a Stereo Link for Left-Master dynamic control.
