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.

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.

What They Say

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

    YES!!!

    UA plugins are spot on for me and my ears! I love them, every one of them that's I've downloaded and the Manley Tube Preamp is right on par. Giving me warmth and attitude when I need it and it's also subtle as well. Very nicely done guys!!
