Have a near mint Manley Variable Mu Stereo Compressor Limiter that I'm putting up for sale. Not to be confused by the other model options, where some just have the High-Pass, others with the High-Pass and T-Bar mod... This unit includes all options, the High Pass, Mid/Side and T-Bar options. Current retail price is $6,299.
I purchased this in mid 2024 for use in my climate controlled, smoke/drink free home studio. It has seen very little use due to my busy work schedule, which leaves me only weekends to spend time recording, if that. Other than some minore rack rash (behind) the ears this is in pristine, mint condition. I take great pride and meticulous care of all my gear to the point where it's always clean and covered when not in use in an extremely clean environment.

Manufacture Overview
The renowned Manley Stereo Variable Mu 2-channel limiter/compressor is a favorite of producers and recording engineers.

Anyone who has heard the classic Fairchild 670 limiter in action has an inkling of the Variable Mu’s capabilities, but the sound is even sweeter with the Variable Mu. Its adjustable threshold, attack, and release settings are ideal for tracking, mixing, and mastering; while its highpass sidechain gives you added flexibility. The Manley Variable Mu is a high-end, esoteric piece of kit that delivers miraculous results on individual tracks, stems, and full stereo mixes. It’s also incredibly versatile and rock-solid reliable for daily use. Now fortified with “The Works,” this hot-modded all-American legend infuses your mixes with glue and punch, crystallizing them into professional, radio-ready product that blasts right out of the speakers — while opening up an enticing range of stereo/mono processing capabilities.
