Now we've extended it to 33 frequencies in 3 bands with 6 new frequencies from 20 Hz to 150 Hz, and 6 more in the highs from 6.4 KHz to 20 KHz. Lots of folks requested that we include the Pultec Mid Frequency Equalizer in the VOXBOX®, but they wanted MORE. Of course, you'll be needing two VOXBOXes linked in stereo. Also rare for an opto-based dynamic processor, this compressor works great on mixes. It is transparent and liquid-smooth on vocals, easy to use and accurate. This extended range and method of timing delivers fresh sounds from powerhouse punching drums to super-solid bass yet can also emulate the way good engineers delicately ride a fader while recording. We developed optimum settings or presets based our favorite Vactrols that we use in our own fast ELOP® Limiter, the quick LA-2A's T-4 module, the slower LA-3A and then created more complex special settings. We call the approach "Parametric Compression". This cuts the typical path of mic to tape in half! We also pioneered new thinking in the sidechain by using up to four different time constants simultaneously and controlling them with familiar simple attack, release and threshold controls. This way, it can prevent mic-pre clipping and eliminate whole stages of electronics. What is clever is how the signal is compressed before it hits the tubes with no detrimental effect on distortion or frequency response. We adjusted the Ratio down to 3:1 to turn our ELOP into a compressor and added ATTACK and RELEASE controls for more versatility. This cool compressor design takes our opto-isolator approach of the Manley ELOP® Limiter to the max. There are obvious advantages to our purist approach and foremost is the un-electronic final sound that carries emotion into the digital realm. The music passes through only our super-clean pure Class A vacuum tube circuitry.

This is 5 to 10 dB better than almost all other pro gear. Headroom is a strong point in this circuit, +31dBu capable. See "Notes on Variable Feedback" for more info. With it you can choose how laid back and mellow or how up-front and aggressive you want it to get. The Gain switch is actually a clever variable feedback control that changes not only the gain but the slew rate and flavor of the circuit. We provide both transformer balanced XLR output as well as a transformerless "audiophile" 1/4" phone jack output. These inputs are selected in the middle position of the dual-function phase invert switch. The INPUT ATTENUATOR is a variable pad control situated before the first tube stage allowing the preamplifier to accommodate +4 line level signals via the balanced LINE INPUT and instruments via the front panel 1/4" DIRECT INPUT. A simple and effective passive BASS CUT switch kills rumble and reduces popping. High current 48V Phantom power is switchable from the front panel. The preamplifier is a clone of a highly regarded and popular mic pre: the Manley Mono Microphone Preamplifier! The mic input transformer is our own design wound in-house at the Manley Labs factory. The name "VOXBOX®" represents only the beginning. There are Stereo Links for both the compressor and the De-Ess/Limiter sections, special compression settings and super-sweet EQ frequencies for your mix or pre-mastering.
Stereo using two VOXBOXes? You know we couldn't resist planning for that as well. There are some great settings for drums, bass, guitar, and keys and the two separate sections can be used together or independently.
While we were designing the VOXBOX® we couldn't help but notice how well it works on other instruments besides voice.

Full of features, timeless style, robust build quality, and that world-famous "Manley Sound", we present to you the MANLEY VOXBOX®. One that, plain and simple, sounded unquestionably better than the rest, provided flexibility, simplicity, and well thought-out ergonomics. One whose all-tube signal path could bring every instrument and overdub to life. One that covered the needs of the project songwriters and big-time major studios alike.

Primarily, it is a voice processor which in itself is not a novel idea, but the time had come to pull out all the stops and make a truly professional high-end statement.
