Preamps
Item number:11001749
Launched in 2002 and armed with with a fully differential circuit topology, SNAPPER remains one of Manley’s tastiest 100W monoblock power amplifiers to date.
Features
- Sold/priced in pairs
- 1x 12AX7 input tube
- 1x 7044 driver tube
- 4x Tungsol EL34B output tubes
- Custom Manley output transformer
- Fully balanced circuit topology
- XLR/RCA inputs
Thanks to the fully differential design, SNAPPER can can be driven either via its balanced XLR inputs or unbalanced RCAs with equally impressive results and without sacrificing any performance or detail along the way. SNAPPER’s XLR inputs may be particularly desirable for users with balanced preamps, since taking full advantage of the preamp’s balanced outputs requires no balancing input circuitry or input transformers.
