UAD Manley Tube Preamp

Manley tube mic preamps are a modern classic, adding unmistakable clarity and detail to any signal that passes through them. Now, you can easily get the harmonically "alive" Class‑A sound in a simple plug‑in.

Included Versions:

• UAD Native - Runs on your Mac or PC without UA hardware.
• Apollo Realtime & UAD‑2 - Runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD‑2 hardware.
• UAD Native plug-ins run on both macOS 10.15 Catalina or newer and Windows 10 and 11.
• Give vocals and other instruments the smooth, clear sound of Manley's Class-A tube mic preamp.
• Add tube detail and rich complex circuit behaviors to make your acoustic guitars and keyboards come alive.
• Punch up your percussion tracks with authentic big studio sound.
• Record in realtime "through" a high-end Manley preamp with Apollo and Unison technology.

Add Clarity and Weight to Any Source

The UAD Manley Tube Preamp plug-in gives you all the open sheen of a Manley hardware preamp, faithfully modeling every stage of its overbuilt circuit, so you can inject instant life to vocals and bass, punch up acoustic guitars and drums, or push synths forward.

Record "Through" a Boutique Tube Preamp With Apollo

UA's groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Manley Tube Preamp plug‑in using your Apollo, giving you the original vintage hardware's line/mic preamp impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and exact circuit behaviors.

The UAD Manley Tube Preamp is my new go‑to for adding warmth and gain.
