Manley’s VOXBOX is a go to for many songwriters and studio engineers alike. Its ease of use and great sound make tracking ideas and full songs a breeze. Now it’s available as a part of UAD’s plugin platform.
Universal Audio is proud to announce the release of UAD Software v8.7, featuring the Manley® VOXBOX Channel Strip Plug-In — exclusively for Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 DSP accelerator hardware.
Designed specifically for vocal production, the Manley VOXBOX stands alone with its unrivaled tube-based sonics and specialized feature set. Introduced in 1997, the Manley VOXBOX combines the best of Manley’s audio designs, including their high-fidelity tube mic preamp, vactrol optical compressor, Pultec-style passive EQ, and de-esser/limiter into a formidable 3U package.
Developed under Manley Labs’ rigorous scrutiny, the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip Plug-In captures every section of this modern classic channel strip for vocal production.
Owners of UA’s acclaimed Apollo audio interfaces can track in real time with this ultimate all-tube vocal channel strip, like having the original hardware. The Manley VOXBOX plug-in also supports Universal Audio’s Unison™ technology, giving Apollo users the VOXBOX’s all-important impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that have contributed to making it the most distinctive channel strip available today.
For users of UAD-2 Satellite and PCIe DSP Accelerators, the VOXBOX plug-in is the go-to channel strip for processing during mixing and mastering, giving vocal recordings that final sheen and polish heard on professional recordings around the world.
“I am impressed by the high level of authenticity and diligence the UA team embodies to make the Manley plug-ins as faithful to the original hardware as possible,” says EveAnna Manley, President of Manley Labs. “We have all worked hard to make the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in the most accurate ever. No mean feat when you remember that it is a complex, multi-function unit — that is a lot of work!”
The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in is also available as part of the new Manley Complete Plug-In Bundle ($699), which includes the Manley Massive Passive EQ and Variable Mu Compressor Limiter plug-ins.
