The Essential Plugin Bundle Black Friday deal takes 80% off Sonnox's four-plugin effects bundle, bringing it to $150 until Dec 17, 2026.
The bundle pairs Oxford EQ, Oxford Dynamics, Oxford Reverb and Oxford SuprEsser. That covers EQ, compression, gating, reverb and de-essing in one signal chain.
Oxford EQ is built on the algorithm from the EQ section of the Sony OXF-R3 digital console. The maker describes it as four equalisers in one plugin.
The LF and HF sections have selectable shelf settings. Variable filters go up to 36dB/octave, and the HF response is de-cramped.
Oxford Dynamics comes from the OXF-R3 dynamics section too. Compressor, limiter, expander and gate each have their own controls, plus a 2-band side chain EQ with an audition function.
Three compressor types use linear and exponential curves, and the compressor has a variable soft knee. A warmth control adds presence and tube-like warmth.
Oxford Reverb is a stereo reverb you can shape from dry ambience through rooms and halls to wide open spaces. Early reflections and the reverb tail are controlled independently.
An integrated 5-band EQ sits inside the plugin, so you can trim the tail without adding another insert on the bus.
Oxford SuprEsser works as a de-esser and as a linear phase dynamic EQ. A simple mode handles quick fixes, and an advanced mode gives finer control.
An FFT display and three Listen modes show and let you hear the problem frequencies. It runs across 20Hz to 20kHz, so plosives and other harsh spots can be treated as well as sibilance.
Automatic Level Tracking follows the energy of the signal, so you don't need to automate the threshold. A Wet/Dry control handles the final balance.
On macOS, the bundle needs 10.13 High Sierra or later, supports Intel and M1 Apple Silicon, and is 64-bit only. Formats are AAX, AU and VST3.
On Windows, it needs Windows 10 or later, with AAX, VST2 and VST3 formats.
Authorisation runs through iLok. Licensing works through a physical iLok 2 or iLok 3 dongle, or through iLok Cloud, which ties the license to your iLok account and needs you to be online.
