REFERENCE

ii) Introduction  

Thank you for selecting a Manley Reference Series Microphone. This manual covers 
the Reference Cardioid, the Reference Silver and the Reference Gold Microphones.

Our microphones are all hand crafted in the USA for maximum performance and 
reliability. 

Each microphone system has been 

carefully designed to operate in a rugged studio environment. 

These designs are optimized for extremely wide frequency response and 

exceptionally accurate transient response. 

The sensitive gold plated 
capsule and tube 
electronics are housed in a 
machined body which 
requires little maintenance. 
A double suspension 
system is employed in all 
three models, minimizing 
any mechanical interaction 
whilst recording.              

The entire working “guts” 
of the microphone may be 
removed for servicing in 
one piece, no need to 
remove the microphone 
from the suspension. We 
also provide a very useful 
Manley swivel, its T-bar 
handle and locking clutch 
action require no tools.

The Manley Reference Cardioid has a fixed cardioid pattern.
The Manley Reference Silver has two variable patterns, cardioid or omni-directional.
The Manley Reference Gold has three continuously variable polar patterns, from 
omni through cardioid to figure of eight.

All three microphones are supplied with a separate power supply unit. The Ref-
Cardioid and Ref-Gold uses the MICROPHONE REFERENCE PSU1 with a 6 pin XLR 
cable. The Ref-Silver uses the MICROPHONE REFERENCE PSU2 with a 7-pin XLR 
cable.
