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

Amazing plugin

I was working with a vocal that was in need of serious help. I had a signal chain of 7 other plugins and still couldn't get a warm full sound and was planning on re-recording the vocal track. As a last ditch option, I purchased this plugin as the hardware was out of reach. It is now the ONLY plugin on the signal chain and made an exponential difference on the vocal and took 5 minutes to get there! My sanity check person said the vocal was "....10 times better." I would love to have the hardware, but this is an amazing substitute at 1% of the cost! Its my go to vocal plugin from now on.

Picked this up on sale

An insane value! I've been using this on my vocals, very easy to dial in and the de-esser is a nice bonus to have in addition to the usual suspects. Very smooth sound, even when you drive the preamp. The EQ is nice too, for my voice I basically just pull a bit of the (low) mids down and I'm there. All the Manley plugs are awesome and highly recommended.

Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip

It works incredibly well with vocals. I was surprised at how gently it boosts the vocal treble and very delicately controls it with the built-in de-esser.

It deserves to be on every vocal track in a project, as well as in the final group of all vocals. A well-designed compressor will hold your group together perfectly.

Voxbox is top notch!

Voxbox is not just great on vocals but great on drums and great for adding fatness to your bass!

Extremely Happy with this product

I had the chance to work with the hardware version of it in a studio and since then wanted to try the plugin version, it really helps to get the best out of any mic you put through it and the extra de-ess and comp features are a big plus (even tho I tend to use it very little).

I want to give more preamps a chance to try different colors but this one is my go-to at the moment, currently pairing it with a TLM 103

I have tried the demo but....

after I bought the full paid version the s$*t hit the fan. It didn't work at all. I did everything the troubleshooting videos told me to do. Install/uninstall etc. but unfortunately nothing worked for me. So, I was really satisfied for 14 days

It may sound gound

It sounds pretty good but I can’t use it. You can’t download it if you have windows 8.1 like me because it starts with windows 10. In a few years, I will complete my review.

Very useful tool

I downloaded the Manley VOXBOX a few weeks ago and it has proven extremely useful in a range of applications, certainly not limited to vocal tracks. We're currently mixing the new Big Green album, and it's finding its way into pretty much every song. Nice finishing treatment for sequenced drum parts, too. Like it.
