Description
Manley Labs OASIS is an all-tube stereo MM/MC phono stage derived from the Chinook design and built around four 6922 dual triodes. It uses cascaded 6922 gain stages, passive RIAA equalization, a 6922 White Follower output driver and Manley Power switch-mode supply technology. Rear-panel DIP switches provide cartridge matching with selectable gain of 45, 50, 60 or 65 dB, 31 resistive load options from 26 ohms to 800 ohms plus 47 kohms, and seven capacitive loading settings from 50 pF to 350 pF. Manley specifies RIAA deviation under +/-0.5 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 82 dB crosstalk, 102 dB typical A-weighted dynamic range and 104 ohm output impedance. Retailer listings cite RCA/unbalanced input and output connections and dimensions around 17 x 14 x 3.5 in; accessible pages did not expose GTIN.
