Manley Tube Preamp
-
Get clear, smooth Manley tube sound for your vocals, bass, and more.
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 Unison™-equipped plug-in, perfect for Apollo audio interface users.
Now You Can:
Give vocals and other instruments the smooth, clear sound of Manley's Class‑A tube mic preamp
Record "through" the iconic Manley preamp in real time using Apollo audio interfaces
Add tube detail and rich complex circuit behaviors to make your tracks come alive
Control Apollo mic preamp gain staging and impedance from the Manley Preamplifier plug‑in via Unison™ technology
Capturing a Modern Classic with Unison
The UAD Manley Tube Preamp plug-in gives you all the clarity and sheen of a Manley hardware preamp, faithfully modeling every stage of its overbuilt circuit with accuracy. Harnessing UA’s Unison technology, this plug-in blurs the lines between analog and digital, giving you all of the hardware’s impedance, gain staging “sweet spots,” and sonic DNA.
Give Your Tracks High‑End Gloss
Like the hardware, the Manley Tube Preamp plug-in adds smooth "hi‑fi" texture. Just drop it into the Unison slot of your Apollo interface’s Console or LUNA software to inject instant life to vocals and bass, punch up acoustic guitars and drums, or add forwardness to synths.
Add Clarity and Weight to Any Source
Of course, the Manley Tube Preamp plug‑in isn’t just for Apollo owners. UAD hardware owners can employ the Manley Preamplifier plug‑in for mixing and tone shaping in their DAW of choice — without ever leaving the box — bathing your tracks in pure Manley tube goodness.
“The UAD Manley Tube Preamp is my new go‑to for adding warmth and gain.”

Great little software preamp
Nice and clean in the midrange and sound great on guitars!! It does a little something different than the VoxBox in the gain stage to my ears so it was worth the purchase....

Sollte für Voxbox-Benutzer kostenlos sein.
Ich besitze bereits VoxBox,Als VoxBox-Besitzer sollte ich dafür nicht bezahlen müssen.

Manley Tube Preamp !
Must have is easy to say for this Plug In but my Records got edge an Air. Now i would like to preset such Chanel Strips with Manley Tube Preamp for all my inputs on Luna, Pro Tools, Logic Pro X. The sound starts from the top on perfect. Kindles Regards

Do not pay twice
Hallo, wie so viele Besitzer und Nutzer von Voxbox sehe ich nicht ein, dass man von UAD doppelt "abkassier"t wird. Hier könnte man den treuen Kunden ruhig einmal entgegenkommen. Besitzer der VoxBox brauchen dieses plugin nicht dringend. Also mein Tipp: Standhaft bleiben und nicht kaufen, auch nicht für 24 €.
K. Delac
Should be free for Voxbox users.
Paying additional 150 USD is ridiculous if you already own a Voxbox IMHO...

I already own VoxBox
As a VoxBox owner, I shouldn't have to pay for this.

Why do VoxBox owners need to pay for this?
Feel a little duped...If I paid for VoxBox, UA should give this one as a free update.

Sounds amazing! Way better than VoxBox IMO
I was reluctant to demo initially since I have the VoxBox plugin and never use it, but this preamp sounds way better to me, especially with the transformer on. The top is smooth but with more detail than the 1084; the mids are foward and very pleasing on my voice; and the bass is thumpy and super full, which can be rolled off if necessary. I also find myself using less plugins in the chain to color the signal, so it's a great DSP saver. Absolutely demo this preamp!

if you have Voxbox you don't need this
I have the Manley Voxbox. This should be free for Manley Voxbox owners.
J. Neves
Excellent!
Smooth and clean, just what you'd expect from a Manley preamp. Highly recommended.
P. Tyurin
я не смог понять за что я заплатил деньги
Ожидал увидеть отдельный плагин для работы но оказалось что это всего маркетинговый ход, пожалуйста дайте возможность поменять плагин на другой.
A. Clark
Simple
Love how this pre shapes the sound. Tight and contained bass, less low mids without sounding thin or shrill.
F. Sparagna
This should be free for the owners of Voxbox
Like Neve and Api, this is absolutely absurd, why should I pay for a portion of a Voxbox? Shouldn't it be free for the already owners? Like the Neve 1084 for the 1073 owners? I don't get it.
