The Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ plug-in for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces offers precise control over your audio's frequency content, making it ideal for both mixing and mastering tasks. As the first dynamic EQ available on the UAD platform, it provides a powerful alternative to multiband compression, allowing you to shape your sound with detailed accuracy. Whether you need to tame harsh vocals, smooth out cymbals, or manage boomy guitars, this plug-in offers dynamic tone shaping through up to five overlapping frequency bands, all accessible via an intuitive user interface.

This dynamic EQ combines the accuracy of a static equalizer with the responsiveness of multiband processing, minimizing phase artifacts and latency issues commonly associated with compressors. Its fully overlapping bands give you greater flexibility in both corrective and creative applications, unlike traditional multiband compressors that divide the spectrum with rigid crossovers. Additionally, the onset detection feature allows the EQ to respond precisely to transients, offering enhanced control over percussive elements and vocal sibilance with unprecedented timing accuracy.

Offering extensive customization, the Oxford Dynamic EQ allows you to select stereo, mono, or mid-side operation for each band, with options to trigger processing based on specific frequencies, transient onsets, or both. You can apply upward or downward compression or expansion and independently adjust side chain filters to target your audio with surgical precision. Despite its advanced capabilities, the plug-in remains user-friendly and accessible, ensuring a smooth workflow for professionals and beginners alike.
