About the Snapper

The Manley Snapper is a pair of high-end monoblock amplifiers known for their robust performance and precise audio delivery. Each amplifier is capable of producing 100 watts of power, with a frequency response spanning from about 15 Hz to 40 kHz into a 5-ohm load. They utilize an EL-34 output stage in a partial triode (ultralinear) configuration, ensuring a balanced signal path from input to output. The amplifiers support both single-ended and balanced inputs, with switch-selectable RCA unbalanced inputs and XLR balanced inputs. The input sensitivity for RCA is 800 mV RMS, while for XLR it is 1.6 V RMS. The overall voltage gain from the RCA jack to output is about 32 dBu. The signal-to-A-weighted noise ratio is approximately 110 dB, indicating a very low noise floor. The amplifiers are physically substantial, measuring 13.5 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 9 inches high, with each unit weighing about 40 pounds.
