Manley VoxBox Tube Mic Pre/Compressor/Pultec EQ/De-Esser

Full Description

High Fidelity Audio with Exceptional Headroom

The Manley VoxBox Tube Mic Pre/Compressor/Pultec EQ/De-Esser feature a Tube Preamplifier, an exact clone of the famous Manley Mono Microphone Preamplifier to provide you with the most admired, high fidelity audio. A bass cut switch makes a great addition to the preamp, allowing you to reduce rumble and popping. The Manley VoxBox offers exceptional headroom at +31dBu, which is 5 to 10 dB more than almost all other pro audio equipment has to offer.

Convenient Control

The Manley VoxBox also includes a de-esser & peak limiter to enable you to record audio without having to worry about clipping or harsh, unwanted noise from instruments and voices. The ability to insert this de-esser silently and smoothly as the music plays allows for seamless audio editing whilst recording or during playback. An added passive LC network is also built in to handle the de-essing frequencies. The Manley VoxBox sports a full size illuminated Sifam VU meter and five position switch to show the line input, preamp output, and final output. Compressor gain reduction and limiter action can also be shown for added convenience.
