<h1>Manley MicMAID 4x4 Mic/Micpreamp Matrix-Switcher</h1>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">The Manley MicMAID Matrix-Switcher was designed for auditioning combinations of four microphones with four
 microphone preamps through a fast-acting matrix system!
<br /></span><br />The Manley MicMAID Matrix-Switcher features four inputs for both microphones and preamps, while dedicated 
returns and direct outputs are offered for each micpre. The front panel 
has four sections including instrument input, phase control, routing 
matrix, and monitor control.
<p>
The instrument input offers a dedicated DI with thru-output and a ground
 lift, as well as a 1/4" TRS input for inserting a fader for controlling
 the Mon/Rec level output for real-time fader rides while tracking 
vocals or instruments.
</p>
<p>
The phase section offers phase reversal, variable phase control and a 
range button, which switches between low and full-bandwidth frequencies.
 The variable phase knob allows you to fine-tune the phase relationship 
between two of your mic signals, or between your direct signal and your 
mic signals.
</p>
<p>
The routing matrix offers four horizontal buttons for selecting 
microphones, while the four vertical buttons engage the four preamps. 
The microphone selection is routed to the selected preamp, while the 
preamp selection routes signal through the Mon/Rec output. The lock 
button lights up red when selected and prevents any other mic or preamp 
from using the current paired combination. The instrument button 
switches from microphone A input to the DI input.
</p>
<p>
The monitor section features a gain trim for matching levels of 
different combinations, which may be saved to any of 9 user presets for 
instant recall. There is also a pickle remote, which connects via RJ45 
cable and features a momentary switch for cycling through presets. 
Hand-made in the USA, the unit is housed in a 2U chassis with a CNC 
machined 1/4" steel faceplate that is also inlaid with laser engraved 
inserts. The MicMAID ships with an IEC power cable.
