Get the Sound of Manley's Flagship Hardware

The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug‑in thoroughly emulates the modern boutique hardware, including its high‑fidelity tube mic preamp, vactrol optical compressor, Pultec‑style passive EQ, and de‑esser/limiter, giving you hit‑making vocals that are clear, detailed, and full of life.

Add Magical EQ Sculpting

Add Magical EQ Sculpting

The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug‑in’s three‑band, passive EQ is based on the classic Pultec MEQ‑5 but extended, giving you a broad‑stroke EQ that keeps the top end sweet, and the lows defined, yet natural sounding — even with extreme boosts and cuts.

Compress Sources Before the Preamp

Compress Sources Before the Preamp

Just like the hardware, the Manley VOXBOX plug‑in lets you tame transients before the preamp with its perfectly tuned, flexible optical compressor. This, along with a ton of interactive Attack and Release combinations, you'll get exceptionally smooth‑sounding tracks every time.

Get Ultra Transparent De‑Essing and Limiting

Get Ultra Transparent De‑Essing and Limiting

At the center of the Manley VOXBOX is its sublime, natural sounding de‑esser. With two knobs, you get complete control of not only vocals, but shrill electric guitars, or overly bright overheads. You can also turn off the de‑esser frequency control and use this section as an aggressive and colorful‑limiter.

Use on Any Source for Pro Results

Use on Any Source for Pro Results

For years, the Manley VOXBOX has been a secret weapon for bassists looking to harness its high‑end tube signal path and slick EQ and compression features. The Manley VOXBOX is also perfect for clean electric guitars, strings, and drums as its always‑musical results can lift any source way beyond the ordinary.

Record “Through” a Boutique Tube Preamp With Apollo

Great addition to my tool set

The standard for a reason

Even in it's plug-in form, the time and care put into crafting a Manley VoxBox (and all Manley products) is evident. The sound has a real creamy, warm taste (like butter) that you just can't get in other channel strips without a ton of futzing. UA did a great job in getting that buttery sound to flow forth from your DAW's sound holes. Great job!

Great all around recording channel strip

It excels at recording vocals for sure, great for voice over as well. But the thing I love even more is how easy it is to get great recordings of plucked and bowed acoustic instruments.
