The heart of this durable microphone is an American-built capsule, meticulously crafted by David Josephson. This feature, coupled with a Manley designed circuit, ensures a warm, rich, and smooth tone that is characteristic of the Manley Reference Silver Microphone.

This versatile microphone is equipped with a mechanical selector located on the rear of the head basket. This allows for seamless switching between cardioid and omni pick-up patterns, catering to a wide range of recording needs.

The Manley Reference Silver Microphone is powered by a mic-grade 5670 vacuum tube and Manley IRON transformers, backed by a low-noise switch mode power supply. This combination makes it a reliable studio workhorse, capable of delivering consistent, high-quality sound recordings.

The Manley Reference Silver Microphone is a testament to over 27 years of audio equipment innovation. It follows in the footsteps of the Manley Reference Gold and Reference Cardioid tube microphones, which have become modern classics in the industry.

The microphone's unique capsule design, reminiscent of the 1950s Sony C-37a microphone, is the secret behind its rich and creamy tone. This, along with its robust voltage output, courtesy of the hand-wound Manley IRON microphone output transformer, ensures a sound quality that is second to none.

The Reference Silver Microphone is designed to handle high sound pressure levels, making it ideal for recording loud instruments like snare drums, guitars, and toms. Its warm and rich sonic character makes it a natural choice for female vocals and saxophones, delivering a round tone that is never sibilant or boxy.

The microphone's power supply is a derivative of the successful SMPS used in the Manley CORE Reference Channel Strip, Manley FORCE 4-channel microphone preamplifier, and Manley Nu Mu and ELOP+ Stereo Limiter Compressors. This ensures efficient operation and superior audio fidelity.

The Manley Reference Silver Microphone comes with a proprietary precision suspension system and a handy swivel for easy adjustments. It also includes a genuine leather capsule protector for safe storage when not in use. All these features are packaged in a rugged carrying-case for added convenience and protection.

Hand-assembled in the USA, the Manley Reference Silver Microphone is a blend of art and technology, offering an organic sound that is both natural and alluring. Experience the difference with this innovative, high-quality microphone.
