The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in, developed in collaboration with Manley Labs, brings the distinctive character of the classic hardware EQ to digital audio workstations. This two-channel, four-band tube EQ combines the design principles of console, graphic, parametric, and Pultec equalizers to create a unique tonal shaping tool. Its natural and organic sound is well-suited for both bold tonal transformations and subtle enhancements in vocal and mastering applications.

Engineered to provide smooth and musical EQ curves, the Massive Passive plug-in adds punch, clarity, and air to tracks without introducing harshness. It effectively enhances presence and sizzle on drums and vocals while maintaining clarity and weight in the low end of full mixes. The interaction of its complex bands along with tube amplifier distortion contributes to rich, warm textures that elevate the overall audio quality.

The plug-in is available in two versions: a Standard edition featuring continuous bandwidth adjustment and a Mastering edition with 16 steps for quick recall. This flexibility makes it ideal for precise adjustments on individual instruments or broad tonal polishing across entire mixes. Whether adding subtle sheen or impactful depth, the Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in delivers the sought-after sonic qualities of its hardware counterpart with exceptional clarity and dynamic headroom.
