Developed by Sonnox, the Oxford EQ plug-in for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces is based on the EQ section of the iconic Sony OXF-R3 console. Introduced in the early ’90s, this console is regarded as the pinnacle of modern digital mixing console design. The Oxford quickly found favor with a range of “A-list” audio professionals — including George Massenburg, Peter Gabriel, and Mick Guzauski — as well as in professional post-production, sound design, and audio restoration rooms.
Sony Oxford Inflator Review
Like the original hardware, the the Sonnox Oxford EQ plug-in features four EQ types give you myriad flavors of precise tone sculpting and fixative power that any mixer can harness.

Its intuitive interface and ability to provide strokes of broad, musical EQ just as easily as precise ones, have made it an important tool for mixers like RIch Chycki ( Rush, Dream Theatre) and Joe Zook ( Katy Perry, The Hives). Key Features 5-band fully parametric EQ incorporating exact algorithms from the legendary Sony OXF-R3 digital mixing console Variable HF & LF filters up to 36 dB/Octave Four different EQ types — from modern to “legacy” styles — in a single plug-in Fully de-cramped HF response Intuitive editable graphic display of all EQ/filter settings and adjustments A / B switches (automatable) Ultra low noise and distortion Requires a UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Card or Apollo Interface available from authorized dealers worldwide. A true Desert Island Plug-in This is a truly great plug-in! It is always #1 or #2 on those 'Desert Island' EQ plug-in lists. I don't understand the less than perfect reviews some has given it, which are not based on the sound and performance of the plug-in itself but because Sonnox sells the exact same plug-in.

Since I don't own any Sonnox bundles, it does not get much better than this. The UAD version is a few dollars cheaper than the stand-alone Sonnox Native instance, I had a small discount coupon which lowered the price even more, it takes advantage of my UAD DSP power, & I have been told the interface feels a tad better. I was very partial to the UAD Cambridge EQ graphical display, This has all that with famous Sonnox sound. Great a addition! Oxford EQ The Oxford EQ is the EXACT algorithm as the Sonnox version. After speaking with the East Coast regional manager of UA, I learned that UA didn't market this plugin to people that already own the Sonnox version. This is for people that don't already have the plugin but prefer to have the UAD card handle the DSP processing.
It's all a matter of personal preference. And for those of you who think the Cambridge EQ is the same thing, you are mistaken.

The Cambridge EQ was UA's best crack at the Oxford type EQ before they had license to sell the real version. The Oxford EQ is the EXACT sonnox authorized version which also comes with 4 different EQ types which the Cambridge doesn't offer. Amazing EQ but. This is an absolutely amazing EQ.
I own the native version and use it all the time, however I really don't see how the $299 cost for the UA version can be justified. Being a Logic user, I would almost be tempted to buy it anyway if this version included the GML option but it does not. One point I think is worth mentioning - other users have posted that they don't see why UAD have released this.
The reason is this is a third party plugin developed by Sonnox with probably little to no input from UAD. I totally get the point of it, but not at this price and definitely not without GML. Very good Oxford Native $200 Oxford TDM - AAX $350 Oxford Ua $299 The price is HIGH, i agree, but shoulndt be a surprise to anyone. I think in the future there will be an Oxford bundle at a better price. Upgrade from cambridge would be cool also, but i dont think they can do this, once sonnox must agree with something like that, and they wont. This is exactly the same code as native version.
It might be a stupid idea in the first place ^^ Haha, it actually worked! Sometimes the solution is far simpler than you'd think. Thanks for sharing the idea, so matter how stupid it initially felt. Suikoden 1 review. I was skeptical for a bit because it felt a bit too straightforward a solution, but then again, I guess it did make logical sense.
A very good eq! Much like cambridge, but not the same, they are different.
Why GML is not an option? This is where I would usually get all excited about the latest addition to the UAD-2 Plug-In family. Universal Audio has been incredibly consistent with mesmerizing my mixing ears, and I would have to say that I am very proud to have quite a nice and hefty collection of UAD-2 Plug-Ins cozily nestled in my Meter & Control Panel. This time however, I did not feel tempted to hit the 'BUY' button after downloading V6.3 and giving the Sonnox Oxford EQ Plug-In the 14-Day Trial. It's been 7 days and I would have to sadly report that I cannot share that same excitement I once experienced. I am aware of the number of new features on board, however at the end of the day, it's just another EQ. How about an old valve mic preamp plug-in next time?
A unique and powerful Plug-In to increase loudness, without sacrificing sonic quality or dynamic range. Add power and presence to your mix without the pumping of compression, or use on individual channels to bring them forward and add weight. Perfect to help vocals cut through the mix. When driven harder, Inflator delivers tube-like musical warmth and provides the ‘sonic glue’ you need to gel your mix together!
