The Manultec MT-E.8012 Orca Bay Mastering Equalizer is the new flagship analog hardware and stands out with unique sonic character only met by its exquisite beauty. This is the Mastering Version where all switches are stepped for "total recall" in the unit!

It takes the knowledge and research we cultivated in the last years to the next level, by re-examining every detail to enhance sound and feel. Manultec´s sophisticated circuit provides ultra tight low end and vibrant dynamic projection to highlight the distinct sound of the Orca. The minimal, yet beautiful design offers a timeless appearance and makes this equalizer an absolute joy to use.
