Broadcast Plugin Bundle - HDX

Important Note: This is an HDX plugin bundle that is intended for use with the DSPs of an Avid HDX system to prevent the software from taxing your host processor. There is no difference in sound quality between the Standard and HDX versions. If you do not own an Avid HDX system, you can purchase the native version of the Broadcast Plugin Bundle.

Broadcast Production Collection

High quality processing and loudness control are critical for broadcast production. Whether it's taming harsh frequencies of an outside broadcast, controlling the dynamics of an unruly interviewee or simply maximising the overall loudness of an entire programme, the Sonnox Broadcast Collection has you covered - dramatically improving the quality of your broadcast production.

The precision of the Oxford EQ combined with SuprEsser's natural de-essing guarantee the perfect spectral balance of your audio. The Oxford Dynamics, a powerhouse of dynamic control, will take care of balancing levels; and finally, to maximise the overall loudness of the programme, the Inflator and Limiter pack the punch, warmth and presence to finish off the job.

Oxford Limiter

A one-of-a-kind limiter plugin

Having crafted and refined your mix, join the growing number of professionals who’ve chosen the Oxford Limiter to deliver maximum loudness, density and presence - whilst retaining the kind of clarity and transient detail that conventional brick-wall limiting can’t.

Whether you’re after the Oxford Limiter's hallmark transparency or heavier creative effects, its advanced look-ahead processing and unique Enhance function provide the sample-value limiting and musical boost needed to reliably avoid clipping and confidently increase apparent loudness.

Features

• Peak limiting with attack, release & variable soft-knee
• Enhance section to increase perceived loudness 
• Recon meter shows actual rather than sampled signal 
• Auto Comp fixes recon errors without losing overall loudness: conforming to the industry's true peak measurement standard (ITU-R BS.1770-4)
