Oxford EQ

Versatility & quality in one EQ plugin

A powerful EQ is essential to any mix. If you mix music, film sound or live shows, you need an EQ plugin that's up to the task.

Enter our flagship Oxford EQ.

This versatile parametric EQ plugin traces its heritage back to the revered, million-dollar Sony OXF-R3 digital console. Now, you can unleash the power of the Sony OXF-R3 from your DAW.

The Oxford EQ features an easy-to-use interface and four distinct EQ types. Whether you’re using it for deep, surgical cuts or broad, gentle mastering curves, the results are always musical and always transparent.

  • 5-band parametric EQ with variable-slope HP/LP filters
  • Four completely different sounding EQ types

         1. Clinical EQ similar to the SSL4000 E series
         2. Tighter ‘cut’ for removing problem frequencies
         3. Classic EQ similar to Neve and SSL G series curves
         4. Wide and gentle curves perfect for mastering

  • Automatable A/B compare button toggles EQ settings
  • Ultra low noise and distortion

An optional 5th EQ type, an exact emulation of the highly regarded GML-8200 EQ hardware unit, is available as a £150 paid upgrade to owners of the HDX EQ version.

Originally designed in collaboration with George Massenburg for the OXF-R3 console, the GML Option faithfully reproduces all the control ranges and responses of the classic analogue original – even delivering centre frequencies up to 26KHz to provide a smooth airy top-end to your tracks.

Imagine your Pro Tools HD session loaded with fully endorsed GML-8200 EQ emulations, with that sound, multiple instantiations, recall and complete automation.
