Manley Tube Preamp
-
Get clear, smooth Manley tube sound for your vocals, bass, and more.
Manley® tube mic preamps are a modern classic, adding unmistakable clarity and detail to any signal that passes through them. Now, you can easily get the harmonically "alive" Class‑A sound in a simple Unison™-equipped plug-in, perfect for Apollo audio interface users.
Give vocals and other instruments the smooth, clear sound of Manley's Class‑A tube mic preamp
Record "through" the iconic Manley preamp in real time using Apollo audio interfaces
Add tube detail and rich complex circuit behaviors to make your tracks come alive
Control Apollo mic preamp gain staging and impedance from the Manley Preamplifier plug‑in via Unison™ technology
Capturing a Modern Classic with Unison
The UAD Manley Tube Preamp plug-in gives you all the clarity and sheen of a Manley hardware preamp, faithfully modeling every stage of its overbuilt circuit with accuracy. Harnessing UA’s Unison technology, this plug-in blurs the lines between analog and digital, giving you all of the hardware’s impedance, gain staging “sweet spots,” and sonic DNA.
Give Your Tracks High‑End Gloss
Like the hardware, the Manley Tube Preamp plug-in adds smooth "hi‑fi" texture. Just drop it into the Unison slot of your Apollo interface’s Console or LUNA software to inject instant life to vocals and bass, punch up acoustic guitars and drums, or add forwardness to synths.
Add Clarity and Weight to Any Source
Of course, the Manley Tube Preamp plug‑in isn’t just for Apollo owners. UAD hardware owners can employ the Manley Preamplifier plug‑in for mixing and tone shaping in their DAW of choice — without ever leaving the box — bathing your tracks in pure Manley tube goodness.
“The UAD Manley Tube Preamp is my new go‑to for adding warmth and gain.”

warm and smooth
My go-to preamp for vocals. Chose this over the extra features (and DSP) of Voxbox and have no regrets.

Manley Tube Pre
I love the idea of Unison. Love it. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I just picked this up right before I had to take a couple months off, so I haven’t used it as much as some of the others. It’s manley though, crisp and clean. So far I love all of the unison stuff I have.

Very nice
Not sure why this doesn't have 5 stars overall at the time I purchased. it is a little heavy on DSP for a Pre but it sounds great on Vocals.

Looks Complicated
I have had this plugin for sometime but have always used other preamps because the front panel of the device seems fairly complicated. After using it for the past week I'm thinking i should have been using this all along. It's pretty simple once you break down the parts and it works like a dream. Have never used the hardware ver so not sure how it compares to that.

My go to uad preamp for vocals
Great preamp , in your face sound , reach harmonics!
S. Shaw
manley
this makes singers sound more manly! .. just kidding. This preamp is serious without the all the complexity of the voxbox. Worth the $25 (for ones who own the voxbox)!

My go to preamp for vox !

MANLEY TUBE PREAMP IS WARM AND JUST RIGHT
Just try a demo of this. I don't even feel like a review is necessary. This and/or the Voxbox on ANY type of vocals, hiphop, pop, countryyyyyy, whatever, So warm and clean. Virtually distortion free if dialed right. I dont wanna say "but its good on," taking away from the facts I just stated, but, I do gotta say: lowkey, play with this joint on some bass... enjoi

AMAZING SOUND!!!
WHAT A COOL UNISON PREAMP! I ACTUALLY HAVE THE MANLEY VOXBOX AS WELL BUT WHEN I JUST WANT TO ADD SOME GREAT COLOR TO THE SIGNAL THIS IS MY GO TO NOW. SOOOOO GOOD! GET IT!
Z. Abresch
Clean, with just the right amount of warmth
This thing sounds beautiful and, from what I can recall of Manleys IRL, is like having a $3000 piece of gear you can use on every recording and every channel. This has become the first piece of my voiceover channel strip and believe me, I tested every single Unison available. Get it, you won't be disappointed. It's like having the heart of a Voxbox without all the unnecessary features.

Incredibile!!!
Da alle voci un suono caldo e ricco di armoniche, conferendo grande spessore.

Wonderfull
I put on all my channel…
