Audio Engineering Society (AES) 141 AES Convention
Los Angeles, CA      September 29th through October 2, 2008
Report By Ray Chowkwanyun And Bob Duchan

Manley Labs

   There she is, Queen of All Audio, EveAnna Manley herself. When Her Majesty enters AES, it's a Royal Progress, sometimes taking a half hour to get from the front door to the Manley booth such is the press of the great unwashed to touch the hem of Herself.

All seriousness aside, EveAnna makes some bitchin' pro audio gear with a sideline in hifi. All tube all the time. I myself own the Wave, the 440, the 500, the Skipjack, the Chinook and the Tape Head Pre-amp. The System That Time Forgot is a Manley Lab showcase. Oh, speaking of forgetting, I forgot I got the very last Manley Stereo Mic ev-ah. (Manley will continue to make the mono version, but alas, the stereo mic died of lack of interest. I mean what kind of maniac would record with just a Blumlein pattern these daze?)
