The Sonnox Broadcast Bundle is a comprehensive collection of powerful Oxford plug-ins, including the renowned Oxford EQ, Dynamics, Inflator, Limiter, and SuprEsser, designed to provide high-quality processing and precision control for broadcast production.

Oxford EQ

The renowned Oxford EQ, based on the original EQ section of the Sony OXF-R3 large-format digital mixing console, is a 5-band EQ with selectable shelf settings on LF and HF sections. It includes separate variable slope low-pass and high-pass filters, featuring four different EQ curves that cater to various styles, offering unparalleled performance and artistic freedom. The Oxford EQ combines novel coefficient generation and intelligent processing design to surpass analogue EQ in sound quality and flexibility.

Features:

• Fully 64-bit Compliant
• 5 Band Fully Parametric EQ
• Variable HF & LF Filters Up to 36dB/Octave
• Algorithm from the Sony OXF-R3
• Four Different EQ Types in One Plug-in
• Fully De-Cramped HF Response
• A / B switches (Automatable)
• Ultra Low Noise and Distortion

Oxford Dynamics

The Oxford Dynamics plug-in, modelled on the versatile unit used in the OXF-R3 professional mixing console, offers separate Compress, Limit, Expand, Gate, and side chain EQ functions with full independent control of all parameters. Features like selectable time constant curves and variable soft compress functions allow users to tackle all common uses of compression, from subtle level control to artistic effects. It uses a feed-forward architecture with logarithmic side chain processing for exemplary sonic characteristics and dynamic accuracy.

Features:

• 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
• Dynamics Section from Sony OXF-R3 Console
• Separate sections for Compressor, Gate, Expander, Limiter
• 2-Band side chain EQ with audition function
• Warmth control for extra presence and tube-like warmth
• Three Compressor types (Linear and Exponential Curves)
• Variable soft knee Compressor
• Separate 5.1 Bus Compressor (where supported)
• Ultra Low Noise and Distortion

Oxford Inflator

The Inflator increases the apparent loudness of any programme without loss of quality or dynamic range reduction, avoiding damaging peak level increases. It adds power, presence, and warmth to programme material, providing a headroom overload margin above digital maximum with a musical character reminiscent of tube systems. Use the Inflator to produce louder mixes without overloads or to add natural warmth and character to acoustic or jazz mixes.

Features:

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• Adds presence and tube-like warmth
• Increases perceived loudness of any material
• Provides virtual headroom above digital maximum
• Direct and band-split modes

Oxford Limiter

Developed from decades of professional audio experience, the Oxford Limiter offers high-quality programme loudness control and limiting functions. Using highly accurate logarithmic side chain processing and adaptive timing functionality with look-ahead signal acquisition, the limiter provides exemplary performance for transparent level control, programme loudness maximisation, or heavily applied artistic sound effects.

Features:

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• Enhance Section to increase perceived loudness
• Reconstruction Meter shows 'actual' signal rather than sampled signal
• Auto compensate feature corrects recon errors without losing overall programme loudness
• Attack, release, and variable soft knee controls
• Comprehensive dither and noise shaping
• Complete with many factory presets

Oxford SuprEsser

The Oxford SuprEsser is a professional De-Esser and Dynamic EQ with a simple mode for quick fixes and an advanced mode for fine-tuning. Its intuitive FFT display and three listen modes allow users to see and hear problematic frequencies, enabling rapid reduction or removal of offending audio. The SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, removing 'plosives' and other annoyances, with features like Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering, and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing.

Features:

• 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
• Highly featured professional De-Esser
• Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
• Transparently controls aggressive frequencies
• Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels
• Large intuitive graphic display for easy frequency identification
• Full Spectrum Operation (20Hz - 20KHz)
• Three different 'Listen' modes
• Advanced Mode for ultimate control of the Dynamic EQ
• Many creative as well as corrective uses
• Presets giving good starting points
