Key Features
The Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ (Native) is a powerful multi-band dynamic EQ for your DAW. Employing five overlapping Oxford Type-3 EQ curves, you can dynamically manipulate frequencies in your audio track without introducing unwanted phase or distortion whilst maintaining the original tone and character. Unlike multi-band compressors, Oxford Dynamic EQ lets you adjust boomy or harsh frequencies without altering the dynamic range to preserve the natural tone in an intuitive and sleek interface that makes complicated processes easy.
The combination of static EQ precision and multi-band processor flexibility, the Oxford Dynamic EQ is the ultimate studio tool for mixing and mastering applications. Save time automating EQ moves and let Dynamic EQ take care of that for you with flexible customisation over a wide range of parameters to quickly dial in the adjustments you need to sound your best. Perfect for use in congested mixes, Dynamic EQ features independent side-chain inputs per band as well as stereo, mono and mid-side operation per band to target specific frequency-dependent source material. Create space, balance and definition between two instruments or more for a clear and articulate mix.
Ideal for a wide range of audio sources from boomy bass drums, harsh vocals or transient-heavy percussion and drums, Oxford Dynamic EQ features Onset Detection to engage your EQ processing via transient information. Sit drums back within in a mix without adjusting the tone or dynamic range or focus your low-end to create width within a mix. The ultimate tool for every studio producer, the Oxford Dynamic EQ will quickly become your go-to whenever a traditional EQ won't do the trick.

In the studio, having a versatile collection of tools is key in making quick and accurate decisions that get the best from your projects. Providing you with the best of both worlds, Oxford Dynamic EQ offers the precision parametric EQ functionality of a static EQ with the multi-band responsiveness of a dynamics processor - without the unwanted artefacts or compression.
With this in mind, what can the dynamic EQ do that a traditional EQ can't? Oxford Dynamic EQ allows you to remove undesired frequencies dynamically without altering the character, tone and integrity of the original audio. Ideal for both mixing individual instruments, stereo busses or mastering applications, you can dynamically shape boomy frequencies, harsh peaks or even alter the relationship between two instruments without adjusting volume levels when using side-chaining.
Designed to avoid the pitfalls of other typical multi-band compressors, the Oxford Dynamic EQ employs five fluid overlapping bands. Typically, multi-band compressors utilise rigid crossovers that divide the frequency response, resulting in unwanted compression artefacts and distortion characteristics that alter the character and tonality of your audio. The Oxford Dynamic EQ's overlapping bands ensure that the integrity of your original sound is maintained, preserving the musicality and timbre.
Different sound sources will often have unique transient information. This can mean that using a typical EQ different audio tracks will respond quicker or slower depending on the audio envelope. For this reason, the Oxford Dynamic EQ can be engaged via the onboard Onset Detection setting. Onset Detection lets you set the EQ processing to be triggered by the transient response of your audio track. Ideal when working with percussive instruments such as drums, Dynamic EQ offers a tremendous amount of control over the response of your instrument. Smooth harsh transient peaks to sit snare drums in your mix to avoid them sounding too 'pokey' or even control vocal sibilance for a smooth performance.
Going above and beyond, Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ offers multiple ways to define the EQ processing targets. Spanning virtually every instrument that can be thrown at it, the Dynamic EQ lets you select stereo, mono or mid-side operation per band as well as frequency-specific Onset Detection. Coupled with this, Dynamic EQ offers both downward and upward expansions as well as individually adjustable side-chain filters. Working together, the frequency-specific Onset Detection and independent side-chain input filters allow you to set thresholds based on incoming signals at specific frequency ranges to create the cleanest dynamic EQ adjustment possible.
Although an extremely powerful and customisable plug-in, the Oxford Dynamic EQ is presented in an intuitive and streamlined interface to dial in tones quickly. Musically-labelled terms and a clear graphical interface make it easy to achieve the sounds you need whether you're a seasoned pro or a less-experienced producer.
"I’d expect nothing less from Sonnox but this Dynamic EQ really is a serious working tool that combines ease of operation with exceptional sound quality" - Paul White (Sound on Sound)
"Oxford Dynamic EQ's GUI is the most elegant Sonnox representation ever, with controls that allow novice users to start getting sounds without opening the manual." - Don Gunn, Garett Haines (Tape Op Magazine)
