Was gonna go with a different brand but this new power supply and revised Manley ref c it’s taking my money for sure. Can’t wait to try it but currently sold out in Canada
Thanks for your vote of confidence. We'll be shipping out many microphones next week! Demand is definitely outstripping supply and we are working super hard trying to keep up!
God I would legitimately blow my life savings on Manley gear I love it that much. Already have the ref c and plan on getting the other two models as well as some outboard gear😍
I am about to buy a Massive Passive in like the next hours but I would like the new power supply included. I live in Europe. Is it available? The Manley Power is sooo good, the Elop+ just ROCKS! Best Opto ever.
When you see the black knob rotary power switch, that's the linear supply version. When you see the red push button power switch int he top center of the Massive Passives, that's the MANLEY POWER® SMPS version of the Massivo.
Would you guys consider making a rack mountable power conditioner with this Manley power module powering the whole thing? For other gear, guitar amps, keys, older outboard gear.
HI guys so does that mean all NuMu's feature the new power supply including the NuMu I purchased near enough upon release a few years ago? Great vid btw 👍
Awesome! Will the Chinook be available for an upgrade with the new power supply? I own one and would like to know if it is or will be an option and the cost. Thanks...
No older units will be upgraded or updated. Too much work and re-work to any unit to make it viable. We are working on some new preamplifiers designs driven by MANLEY POWER®! Read more on our web page: www.manley.com/manley-power
I had two bought two pairs of Manley and powder supply. Because my power supply just one day from nothing stop to work. And I hit the button and the light red even doesn’t turn on. 😭😭
Sorry we are moving forward... since we no longer produce the linear PSU version there is no point to make a comparison video at this point. Everything about the SMPS MANLEY POWER® version is superior and we are all marching forward with that.
i understand the choice for SMPP , but for the noise part , when u designing a amplifier , you know how much power it's had to deliver and how big the power supply capacitors need to be, to prevent noise (hum) , the only thing you can't control is the aging of the capacitors but if it are good ones they should last for years, the pro's of smpp is that they are light weight and can produce a lot of power and the noise that it induces is above the hearing spectrum so that's good, , it;s the logical way to go , bulky transformers are loaded with copperwire which is expensive and weighs a lot which makes shipping costly also.
My experience with switching Power Supplies. Yes it is more efficient and the higher frequency you go the smaller size of the transformer. The negative is how hard the switching drivers have to work. The oscillator and driver circuitry has a tendency to stop working.
We have not had that same experience as you have. I attribute our success to having the world's greatest audio power supply engineer, Bruno Putzeys, design this PSU for us. It has proven to be extremely reliable proven by over thousands deployed around the world since 2014.
We have not yet gotten to engineering the VOXBOX to run from MANLEY POWER® yet, although it is next on the list, and no older units can be retrofitted or upgraded to the new system. Too much work and re-work to make it viable.
should that be woman's power lol how much does it cost to buy the power supply and can I change the voltage?? what's its signal to noise ratio and maximum amp draw cheers!! how is this better say than medical switching mode power supplies.
@@manleylabs there's no explanation on current draw or voltage output on that link is this automatically set, I mean will a device pull what it needs in voltage and current automatically there is quite a big head pin plug is there a pinout
@@johnsweda2999 We have designed these MANLEY POWER® PSUs for use in our MANLEY products. We know what the pinouts and the voltages and current draws are in order to make this system work in our vacuum tube designs.

@@manleylabs ok! but why not sell the power supplies for everybody to use in the own products like valve amplifiers maybe with a voltage selector from 5 to 48 volts just saying make life easy! Maybe you might consider it. Don't get me wrong but if you claim they are good as you claim they are surely they would sell like hotcakes make you nice little profit, at the moment there's only really Chinese stuff out there and I think it's bad to buy Chinese for the world economy another story for another day. Thanks for the reply
@@johnsweda2999 our first priority for our engineering team is to engineer them into MANLEY products.

Yes! We have been shipping the new MANLEY POWER® version of the Massive Passive units worldwide since 12/2019!

Can you show us the sonic difference of the original Manley Passive and the new Manley. passive with the new supply?

ok sold! I am going to try SMPS on my next build. To get more bang for your buck you should sell your PSU's to us DIY'ers!

is this included with manley pultec eq purchased in 2020?
very informative video
Nope sorry haven’t gotten to that one yet.
EveAnna Manley thank you. i think they are shipping the unit i had ordered. any idea if this will be included as a free upgrade for registered users?
@@bisibela no, there will be no upgrades for any units from Linear to SMPS PSUs as there are too many mods and changes to the circuits.
EveAnna!!!
U rule !!

Actually, that's just my normal hair.
Hello
should that be woman's power lol
how much does it cost to buy the power supply and can I change the voltage??
what's its signal to noise ratio and maximum amp draw cheers!!

Just because something measures better doesn't necessarily mean it sounds better
Agreed which is why we did extensive listening tests to make sure that the new power supply really did sound better. And miles better.
Fantastic, I think you guys may be onto something and I wonder what a switch mode power supply tube amp would sound like?
@@Audiorevue The Manley Absolute Headphone Amplifier is a little baby tube amplifier that uses our new SMPS Manley Power®!
If you don't want noise - run away from tubes
Run away from gain. Run away from resistors. Run away from analog electronics that amplify... 🙄🙄🙄
