This is by far the best Eq I've ever used. I bought this because of the legacy around this eq and how it comes from the Sony console in NY and how big names who used this eq would say it was the best eq they ever got there hands on, I just had to see for myself and for simply the fact that the Sonnox team that created this also created the SSL E series consoles too!! When people say the eq is transparent, they aren't lying! It literally sounds like nothing but with the eq curve applied! It sounds soo beautifully transparent and 3D sounding! Type 1 for mixing, type 3 for mastering. Absolutely worth every dollar!! Get it!!

This Sonnox plug-in is awesome i love how versatile and easy it is to use. Sounds amazing. Looking forward to get ting more from Sonnox.

Don't let its looks or its age fool you. The Sonnox Oxford EQ is still one of the best EQ's on the planet. A crystal clear, beautifully transparent, and highly versatile monster.

This is the one EQ that simply makes the source sound like itself but with the EQ curve applied to it: Like it hasn't been EQed at all. I prefer type 3 for mastering and broad tonal contours. Type 1 is the default for a reason- it just works. I've used a zillion EQ plugins- and some have better and more intuitive interfaces ( making small, but significant changes aren't reflected well in the UI widow, but it just works. It doesn't color the sound to my ears. It genuinely sounds like nothing has been done, but it sounds like I want it to sound.

The API 550a hardware was my go-to for the same reason- I don't hear the EQ, I just hear the source as I want it to sound. It has similar characteristic, but at $9K for 10 channels of it, and with only 3 bands, and without the infinite choice of curves or the flexibility of the filters, I'll stick with the Sonnox.

I've been using it since ~2002 and I have no plans to ditch it. It's the oldest plugin I would call a "classic".

for vocals this is the EQ you are gonna need although it has 4 types my favorite 1 and 3 this eq excels on the hi frequencies for low end material and mid range perfection i go with my trusty duende x eq that this ex actually is better than the oxford eq but both being used for there strong points lets say on you master channel it becomes apparent that the oxford eq is forever in my mixing scheme and dont forget about that duende x eq and another good one is psp master q
