Description
The Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser is an advanced de-essing tool tailored for professional audio engineers seeking precise control over sibilance and harshness in vocal and instrument tracks. Unlike traditional de-essers, the SuprEsser offers detailed frequency targeting, allowing users to isolate problematic frequencies with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring natural, transparent results. This dynamic EQ plug-in is equally adept at handling broader tasks, such as removing harshness from cymbals or taming high frequencies in mixes, making it an invaluable asset in both mixing and mastering environments.
Equipped with intelligent detection and a real-time visual feedback interface, the Oxford SuprEsser lets you see exactly where and how sibilant sounds are affecting your audio. The intuitive design and graphical EQ allow for effortless tweaking, making it easy to apply selective compression only where needed, preserving the integrity of your sound. Ideal for music production, podcasting, and post-production, the SuprEsser is trusted by industry professionals worldwide for its versatility and high-quality output, helping users achieve polished, professional results with ease.
With its unique ability to shape, refine, and enhance the clarity of any track, the Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser is the essential tool for anyone looking to elevate their sound and overcome the common challenges of vocal harshness and sibilance control in audio production.
The SuprEsser Difference - More Than Just De-Essing
Whether you’re smoothing sibilant vocals, controlling harsh instrument tones, or tightening the low-end, SuprEsser works dynamically, only reducing problem frequencies when necessary while leaving the rest of your mix untouched.
What sets SuprEsser apart is its flexibility—three distinct plugins for specific tasks, a floating threshold that adapts to performance dynamics, and precise control over the full frequency range, from 20Hz to 20kHz.

Key Features
Floating Threshold for Automatic Level Tracking
Working with a vocalist who moves from soft, breathy whispers to full-throttle screams? A static threshold won’t cut it. That’s why SuprEsser’s floating threshold automatically adapts to your performance’s dynamic range.
Whether your singer is barely whispering or belting out, SuprEsser ensures smooth, transparent de-essing and frequency management; no manual adjustments required. This means consistent control, even with the most extreme dynamic shifts.
Adaptive, Transparent Processing
The look-ahead detection ensures that even fast, transient spikes are caught without distortion, delivering clean, natural results every time.
Side Chain Monitoring
Adjustable attack and release times provide creative flexibility, whether you need lightning-fast suppression for sharp consonants or a slower response to smooth out harsher tones.
Combined with Sonnox’s pristine DSP algorithms, the SuprEsser is equally at home on lead vocals, overheads, string sections, or mastering chains.
