The Manley VoxBox is a Channel Strip with Class A microphone preamp, Pultec-type equalizer, optical compressor, de-esser / limiter and switchable VU-meter. The VoxBox contains the best of Manley devices: its preamp section is from the brand's famous mono mic preamp, the compression section comes from the Variable MU (Manley's best-selling product) and the limiter / de-esser comes from the ELOP. All these components make it a real exceptional tool to decorate your studio. The VU meters can be switched to 5 positions to move from one level to another: control line input, preamplifier output and final output audio levels, as well as compressor gain reduction and de-esser / limiter.
