Easily Add Stunning Polish

Enhance Tracks and Glue Mixes
The Manley Vari Mu Limiter Compressor plug-in can be used on single instruments such as bass or a lead vocal, or on subgroups like strings or horns. - but its raison d'être is on the mix bus, where it can unify your mixes with a rich, hi-fi fit and finish.
Polish your Mixes with Powerful Controls
Parameter linking allows simultaneous adjustment of both channels with stereo signals.
When unlinked, the plug-in's Mid/Side processing is improved over the hardware, giving you phase accurate stereo imaging.
Use the High Pass Sidechain filter to reduce low-end pumping - letting you compress, say, overheads, while retaining punchy bottom-end.
Dry/Wet Mix offers easy parallel compression - perfect for polishing vocals and more - while Headroom lets you optimize the Variable Mu's overall level to your playback system.
