Record and Mix with the Ultimate All-Tube Vocal Processor
Manley’s VOXBOX channel strip is a beautiful system of tube-driven preamp, dynamics and EQ circuits, designed for your all-important vocal sources. The Manley VOXBOX plug-in gives you the same smooth sonics of this premium hardware.
Get the Sound of Manley's Flagship Channel Strip
By thoroughly emulating the hardware's high-fidelity tube mic preamp, vactrol optical compressor, Pultec-style passive EQ, and de-esser/limiter, the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip gives you hit-making vocals that are clear, detailed, and full of life.
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 — even with extreme boosts and cuts.
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 smooth-sounding tracks every time.
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 and overly bright overheads. You can also turn off the de-esser frequency control and use this section as a colorful limiter.
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
UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in using your Apollo, giving you the original boutique hardware’s line/mic preamp impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and exact circuit behaviors.
What They Say
The UAD Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in is the most authentic analog emulation I’ve ever heard. It behaves and sounds exactly like the hardware.
Chuck Zwicky
Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts
The Manley VOXBOX exhibits some of the best tube circuitry in a mic preamp. It can get warm and super clean but can also be driven hard for effect. Now available as a UAD plug-in, it’s quite a gift.
Joe Chiccarelli
Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey
We have all worked hard to make the Manley VOXBOX plug-in the most accurate ever. No mean feat when you consider that it is a complex, multi-function unit.
I like the voxbox , I have a friend who is producing and engineering my music , sending clean mixes to him at the moment- therefore not using too much just now.

Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip
Outstanding! UAD plugins are my mainstream go to! I am currently using this plugin on a dobro track! The Manley Vox Box is certainly useful for much more than vocals!

This plugin is incredible! It was a bit overwhelming at first, but after I experimented with a bunch of settings and found the perfect balance, it sounds absolutely amazing!
