Oxford EQ Black Friday pricing is 75% off, which brings this Sonnox EQ plugin to $67 until Dec 17, 2026.
Oxford EQ is Sonnox's flagship equaliser. It traces back to the EQ section of the Sony OXF-R3 digital console.
The maker says it has been used on big hits, films and live shows. Its pitch is clean sound paired with an interface built for fast, confident decisions.
The core is a 5-band parametric EQ with variable-slope high-pass and low-pass filters. On top of that sit four completely different EQ types, so one plugin can cover surgical work and broad tonal shaping.
An A/B compare button toggles between EQ settings, and everything is automatable.
The maker also lists ultra-low noise and distortion.
Pro Tools HD and HDX users can add an optional fifth EQ type. Sonnox describes it as an exact emulation of the GML-8200 EQ hardware unit.
The maker says that means that sound with multiple instantiations, recall and complete automation inside a session.
On macOS you need macOS 10.12 or later, and both Intel and M1 Apple Silicon are supported. The plugin is 64-bit only, in AAX Native, AU and VST3.
On Windows you need Windows 10 or later, in AAX Native and VST3.
It runs in Pro Tools 11 or above, or in any desktop host that supports AU or VST3 plugins. Windows hosts need VST3 support.
Oxford EQ belongs to the Sonnox Toolbox range, which gives you 2 activations per licence. You need an iLok account.
Each activation authorises the plugin on a machine, on an iLok2 or iLok3 device with the latest drivers, or on iLok Cloud, which needs an active internet connection.
