Manley Nu Mu: Fast, Punchy, and Detailed
The Manley Nu Mu delivers a more modern approach to compression. Combining the linearity of tubes with the speed of solid-state technology, the Nu Mu offers precise and punchy compression that suits contemporary production needs.






Its ability to provide transparent and detailed processing makes it ideal for applications where you need control without compromising the integrity of the original audio. Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or mastering, the Nu Mu ensures your tracks remain dynamic and clear.

Manley ELOP+: Warm, Transparent Compression
On the other hand, the Manley ELOP+ is a classic favourite for engineers seeking smooth, clean, and relaxed compression. This electro-optical limiter provides a warmth that percolates through your mix while preserving high-end clarity and transparency. Unlike many compressors that tend to darken the sound, the ELOP+ maintains brightness and detail, making it a perfect choice for vocals, bass, guitars, and overall mix bus processing.






Its ability to retain sonic clarity while delivering rich compression is why so many professionals reach for the ELOP+ when they want their tracks to sound natural, yet polished.
