The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in delivers a premium vocal processing experience by faithfully replicating the smooth, tube-driven characteristics of the original hardware. It combines a high-quality Class-A tube preamp with advanced dynamics and EQ sections, designed to enhance vocal recordings with warmth and clarity. This channel strip plug-in maintains the elegant tonal balance that has made the hardware a favorite in professional studios, providing rich, polished vocals with ease.

At the heart of the VOXBOX lies a three-band passive EQ inspired by the classic Pultec MEQ-5, allowing for broad tonal shaping that preserves natural highs and well-defined lows even under extreme boosts or cuts. Its optical compressor sits ahead of the preamp, offering precise control over transient peaks through adjustable Attack and Release settings. An integrated de-esser ensures smooth sibilance reduction with intuitive controls and can also function as a dynamic limiter, making it effective not only for vocals but also for bright guitars and overheads.

Beyond vocals, the Manley VOXBOX excels on a variety of sources such as bass, acoustic guitars, strings, and drums, adding musical character and clarity thanks to its Class A EQ and compression. Through UA's Unison technology and Apollo interfaces, users can track in real time with the plug-in, experiencing authentic preamp impedance and gain stage behavior that closely mirrors the boutique hardware. This combination ensures recordings retain the signature Manley warmth and precision from tracking through mixing.
