Manley designede VOXBOX® og kunne ikke lade være med at lægge mærke til, hvor godt den fungerer på andre instrumenter udover vokaler. Der er nogle gode indstillinger til trommer, bas, guitar og keys, og de to separate sektioner kan bruges sammen eller uafhængigt. Stereo ved hjælp af to VOXBOXer?
Man kunne mistænke Manley, at de heller ikke kunne modstå planlægningen af ​​det. Der er stereolinks til både compressor og De-Esser/Limiter-sektionerne, så du kan få specielle kompressionsindstillinger og supersød EQ-frekvenser til dit mix eller pre-mastering. Så brug den ikke KUN til vokaler. Navnet “VOXBOX®” repræsenterer kun begyndelsen

  REVIEWS

  A big question on forums is, “Is it better to have a tube mic or tube mic pre to add warmth to your signal?” If the mic pre is the Voxbox, I can confidently say it would be no contest for me…It gives you a clear sound, and with the variable gain control, you can control how much smoothness you want.”

  – Glenn Bucci, Pro Studio Reviews, November 2007

  “The Manley VoxBox might be the finest mic preamp / multiprocessor combo ever built…Run, don’t walk, to a Manley dealer or the Manley website and get one of these suckers pronto.”

  – Rip Rowan, ProRec, June 1998

  “I looked hard to find something I didn’t like on this unit, but I’ve come up empty.”

  – Steve Cunningham, Radio and Production, August 1999

  “The compressor section, in particular, is very useful for signals other than vocals. Considering the amount of thought and care put into the Voxbox, the admittedly high price looks reasonable for such a truly high-class unit.”

  – George Shilling, Studio Sound, April 1998
