O

LINK COMPRESSOR: This RCA is used for connecting to a second VOXBOX. The signal on this
connector is a changing DC voltage from the compressor section. It is both an input and an output. You
can link the second VOXBOX with any typical hi-fi RCA interconnect as long as it is not longer than
6 feet.

P

LINK DE-ESSER: This RCA is used for connecting to a second VOX BOX. You can link the second
VOXBOX with any typical hi-fi interconnect and a stereo interconnect can be used to do both the
compressor link and de-esser link. The signal on this connector is low level audio from the de-esser
section. It is both an input and output. As an output the signal is after the band-pass filter and threshold
control used to sense the "esses". Audio fed into this jack may drive the de-esser opto but the threshold
control will not be usable and generally it will kill the normal de-esser path.

Q

SERIAL NUMBER: Write this down somewhere - like the warranty registration near the back page of
the manual. You need it if the unit is "lost" and we need it for repairs to happen.

On a light note, the bit on the back panel

"An EveAnna Manley Production". EveAnna spearheaded this project and
invited input from some of our favorite dealers and customers for this unit. She
also fed her parameters to the engineers, supervised all aspects of the design and
created the cool front panel. She produced and directed this one.

"Inspired by David Manley"- David's well proven design philosophies,
techniques and style were used throughout. He wrote the book.

"Engineered by Craig Hutchison".Hutch contributed the new compressor and
de-esser designs, new EQ frequencies and a few other electronic bits. You can
blame him for this crazy manual.

"Mastered by Baltazar Hernandez".Balta handled the mechanical designs,

printed circuit board designs and cleaned up all of our little pieces and

put them neatly together.
