Description
The Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ is an advanced equalization tool that provides unparalleled control over audio dynamics across specific frequency bands, making it a powerful asset for both mixing and mastering. With its intuitive interface and precision controls, Dynamic EQ allows users to address problematic frequencies, enhance clarity, and shape audio with exceptional flexibility. Unlike traditional EQs, it adapts in real-time to the dynamics of your audio, enabling you to manage excessive sibilance, smooth harsh frequencies, or add punch to elements that need more presence without over-compressing.
Built with Sonnox’s cutting-edge DSP technology, this plugin offers a transparent, high-quality processing experience that preserves the natural character of your audio. Ideal for music producers, engineers, and sound designers working on diverse audio projects, the Oxford Dynamic EQ integrates seamlessly with popular DAWs, providing efficient workflow and low CPU usage. From taming resonant peaks to enhancing vocal detail, this plugin is a versatile solution for achieving balanced, professional-sounding mixes and polished masters.
Clean, Transparent Control at Your Fingertips
Oxford Dynamic EQ gives you total control over your sound, offering unmatched flexibility without ever compromising clarity. Whether you’re smoothing vocal peaks, tightening drums, taming a boomy bassline, or controlling reverb tails, this plugin delivers clean, precise shaping every time—without muddying your mix.
With flexible detection modes like peak and onset detection, Oxford Dynamic EQ responds to everything from sharp percussive hits to sustained tones, giving you the creative freedom to make precision adjustments. Paired with upward/downward compression, it keeps your sound intact while the intuitive interface ensures you can dial in the perfect settings quickly and efficiently.

Key Features
Advanced Detection Modes
Peak detection for broad control or onset detection to target fast attacks and transients. Perfect for both subtle tweaks and sharp dynamic changes.
Upward and Downward Compression/Expansion
Go beyond standard Dynamic EQs with both upward compression to lift quieter details and downward compression to control louder peaks. You can also expand the dynamics for even greater flexibility.
Internal and External Sidechaining
Use external sidechaining to react to other signals in your mix or dynamically trigger EQ adjustments based on internal frequency bands.

Real-World Applications
-
Vocal Precision
Boost vocal presence around 2–4 kHz when clarity is lacking, or tame harsh sibilance in the 5–8 kHz range only when it gets too aggressive. Use upward compression on the high frequencies to lift subtle breathiness and quiet nuances, ensuring even the softest details shine through without squashing the overall dynamic range.
-
Control Boomy Bass
Target specific low-end resonances with a tight, bell-shaped EQ while also adding a dynamic low-shelf triggered by the kick drum. This approach keeps your bass solid and focused, preventing it from overwhelming the mix or muddying the kick.
-
Shape Your Snare
Use onset detection to rein in sharp snare transients and use upward expansion on a high shelf to eliminate high-frequency bleed (like cymbal bleed) between hits. To add punch, boost the low end of the snare’s transient with fast attack and release settings or use slower upward compression to let the overtones ring out and increase sustain.
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. TapeOp Magazine
