{"product_id":"manley-voxbox","title":"Manley Voxbox","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManley Voxbox\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 3U all-valve channel strip combining a microphone preamplifier, an ELOP optical compressor, a passive Pultec style equaliser, a de-esser and a limiter. The whole path is valve based, with no op-amps in the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA vocal that is finished on the way in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracking a vocal through an ordinary preamp leaves you with a take that has to be rescued later with plugins: sibilance, level jumps, no bottom end. The Voxbox does all of that on the way to the converter, while the signal still has full headroom. The de-esser and compressor sit ahead of the equaliser, so lifting the top does not sharpen the sibilance you have just tamed. Compression runs at 3:1 with up to 16 dB of reduction, and switching to limiting turns that into 10:1 and 32 dB when a level jump has to be caught without riding a fader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePassive equalisation with valve make-up gain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe equaliser section uses genuine inductors and the passive Pultec topology, with gain recovered by a Class-A valve stage. The trick that defines this circuit, boosting and cutting the same low band at once, produces a curve you cannot build on a parametric equaliser. The inputs handle microphone, line and instrument at 2000, 4000 and 100,000 Ohms respectively, so an electric guitar or a synth enters the same path as the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3U all-valve channel strip with no op-amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone preamplifier with up to 60 dB of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine and instrument inputs with their own impedances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELOP optical compressor at 3:1 with up to 16 dB of reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimiting mode at 10:1 with up to 32 dB of reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Pultec style equaliser on genuine inductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe-esser placed ahead of the equaliser section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression attack 4 to 70 ms, release 0.3 to 5 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimiting attack 2 ms, release 0.5 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12AX7, 12BH7 and 6414 or 5965 valves matched in pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal supply, 90 to 254 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum gain: 60 dB mic, 23.2 dB line, 23.4 dB instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 2000 Ohm mic, 4000 Ohm line, 100 kOhm instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz to 60 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEqualiser section response: 10 Hz to 68 kHz (±1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum preamp output: +30 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum equaliser output: +33 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: 0.008% at 1 kHz, A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise floor: -83 dBu, A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 113 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 x 5.25 x 10 inches, 3U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 14.5 lbs; power consumption 31 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Manley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58444338200908,"sku":"28293","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9854\/1644\/files\/ManleyVoxbox1.jpg?v=1786977907","url":"https:\/\/noiseroom.lt\/lt\/products\/manley-voxbox","provider":"Noise Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
