Manley VOXBOX Tube Channel Strip

Manley VOXBOX – The Ultimate All-Tube Channel Strip

The Manley VOXBOX is a world-class, all-tube channel strip designed to bring warmth, clarity, and character to any source — not just vocals. Built entirely in the USA, the VOXBOX combines a pristine Class A vacuum tube preamp, smooth opto-compression, musical Pultec-style EQ, and a powerful de-esser/limiter section into one beautifully crafted unit.

Drawing from Manley’s legendary studio designs, the VOXBOX delivers the unmistakable tone that has defined countless hit records. Its mic preamp section, derived from the acclaimed Manley Mono Mic Pre, offers generous headroom and dynamic range. With adjustable gain, selectable high-pass filters, and flexible input options, it provides the perfect foundation for tracking vocals, instruments, and line-level sources alike.

The opto-compressor borrows elements from both the Variable MU and ELOP limiters, delivering transparent control with signature tube smoothness. Its innovative design allows compression before the tube stage — preserving frequency response while preventing overload — making it equally effective on vocals, bass, guitars, or full mixes.

The Pultec-style mid-frequency EQ features 33 selectable frequencies with genuine inductors, offering silky, musical tone shaping from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Completing the signal chain, the de-esser/limiter section tames harsh sibilance or acts as an LA-2A–style limiter, offering four de-essing frequencies and effortless real-time control.

Other refinements include a large illuminated Sifam VU meter, stereo linking for dual VOXBOX setups, silent switching, and magnetic field containment for the cleanest possible signal path. Hand-built with five of Manley’s proprietary transformers, the VOXBOX delivers the unmistakable depth, punch, and harmonic richness that make Manley gear a studio essential.

If you’re looking for the ultimate all-in-one channel strip to elevate your recordings, the Manley VOXBOX from Marshall Music is your go-to choice for pure tube tone and timeless sonic excellence.
