UADx Manley Voxbox Channel Strip

Manley's VOXBOX Channel Strip presents a comprehensive system comprising tube-driven preamp, dynamics, and EQ circuits, meticulously designed to enhance the quality of your vocal recordings. The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in faithfully captures the refined and smooth sonic characteristics of the premium vocal channel strip.

Enhanced EQ Control

The plug-in version of the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip offers a three-band passive EQ modeled after the classic Pultec MEQ-5, with expanded capabilities. This versatile EQ allows for broad adjustments, maintaining the pleasant high-end tones while preserving distinct low frequencies. The EQ is effective even with substantial boosts and cuts, providing a natural and well-defined sound.

Precise Compression Ahead of Preamp

Similar to its hardware counterpart, the Manley VOXBOX plug-in enables you to control transient peaks before they reach the preamp, thanks to its precisely tuned optical compressor. This compressor offers a wide range of interactive Attack and Release settings, contributing to exceptionally polished and seamless audio tracks.

Seamless De-Essing and Limiting

At the core of the Manley VOXBOX lies its exceptional de-esser, delivering a natural and pleasing sound. This de-esser is equipped with intuitive controls, allowing you to manage not only vocals but also other potentially harsh sources like electric guitars and bright overheads. Additionally, the de-esser's frequency control can be disabled, transforming this section into a dynamic and vibrant limiter.

Versatile Application Across Sources

The Manley VOXBOX has long been favored by bassists for its premium tube signal path and versatile EQ and compression functions. Its musical qualities extend beyond vocals, making it a great choice for clean electric guitars, strings, and drums. The Manley VOXBOX can elevate any source to extraordinary levels of quality and character.

Through UA's Unison technology, you can seamlessly track with the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in in real time using your Apollo interface.
