The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.

iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration

iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home

iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.

iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.

iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).

Track in Real-time with The Ultimate All‑tube Vocal Processor

The human voice is the first, most natural musical instrument.

It's also the most expressive. Like the voice itself, Manley’s VOXBOX channel strip is a beautiful and evolved system - a high-end blend of tube-driven preamp, dynamics, and EQ circuits, designed specifically for your all-important vocals.

Featuring UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in for Apollo and UAD-2 hardware is a stunningly faithful emulation of this premium vocal channel strip.

One listen and you'll hear why it’s the vocal choice of Beck, Rick Rubin, U2, and more.

Included Versions

  • UAD Native - Runs on your Mac or PC without UA hardware (AAX, AU, VST3)
  • Apollo Realtime & UAD-2 - Runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD‑2 hardware (AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3)

Under the Hood

Introduced in 1997, the Manley VOXBOX combines the best of Manley's audio designs, including their high-fidelity tube mic preamp, vactrol optical compressor, Pultec-style passive EQ, and de-esser/limiter into a formidable 3U package.

Featuring Manley's legendary boutique build quality, including in-house wound transformers, the VOXBOX stands alone as a premium tube-driven toolbox for outstanding vocal tracks.

Track Vocals through a Coveted Mic Preamp with Unison Technology

Chock full of Class A vacuum tube tone, the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in expertly emulates the hardware’s rich, feedback-style mic preamp.

Harnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the VOXBOX plug-in perfectly captures the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that have made the hardware famous.

The secret is Unison's bi-directional control and communication, from the plug-in to the digitally controlled mic preamps in Apollo audio interfaces.

Compress Sources Before the Preamp

Just like the hardware, the Manley VOXBOX plugin lets you tame transients before the preamp with its flexible optical compressor.

This innovative topology, as well as the compressor's 25 interactive Attack and Release combinations, assure exceptionally clean, smooth-sounding tracks.

Unmatched Passive EQ Sculpting

The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in’s three-band, passive EQ is based on the classic Pultec MEQ-5.

With two peak bands, one dip band, and greatly expanded and overlapping frequency selections, this broad-stroke EQ keeps the top end sweet, and the lows defined, yet natural sounding - even with extreme boosts and cuts.

Ultra-Transparent De-Essing and More

At the center of the Manley VOXBOX is its sublime, natural-sounding de-esser.

With two knobs, you’re afforded complete control of not only vocals, but shrill electric guitars, or overly bright overheads.

You can also turn off the de-esser frequency control and use this section as an aggressive and colorful limiter.

Not Just for Vocals

For years, the Manley VOXBOX has been a secret weapon for bassists looking to harness its high-end tube signal path and slick EQ and compression appointments.

Engineers have also called on the Manley VOXBOX for clean electric guitars, strings, and drums as its always-musical results can elevate any source way beyond the ordinary.

Features

  • Track rich, luxurious vocals in real-time through Manley's high-fidelity, Class A tube mic preamp
  • Easily sculpt vocals with Manley's Pultec-style passive EQ with 33 selectable frequencies
  • Expertly dial-in signals with transparent optical compressor with 25 Attack and Release combinations

  • Organically tame sibilance with unmatched de-esser/limiter section
  • Control Apollo interface mic preamp gain staging and impedance directly from the VOXBOX plug-in with Unison technology
