3 Massive passive incarnation ins software
one from NI, one for Focusrite Liquid-Mix and one for UAD-2. Liquid-mix doesn't take into account band interaction.I prefer this, when using more than one band of EQ'ing. The UAD-2 is the only one endorsed by Manley. Must be doing something right !

The best of the best
I don't have word to define the quality of this plugin. Just pass the sound across of the plugin and enjoy as you never did.

Manley Massive Passive EQ - 5 stars
I think it is the best for mastering,

UAD are drug dealers...
I'd heard fantastic things about the Massive Passive plugin so I thought to try the 14 day demo... My demo has expired and I genuinely cannot live without it now. A must have on a master buss and just gives that expensive top end sizzle without any harshness at all.
UAD are drug dealers in the sense they give you a taste of the best stuff around - to the point where you can do without it! Fantastic plugin, great company and a must have for the mix bus.J. Gallo
Sounds good for a Plugin
The Plug-in is ok. Sounds like an intense EQ. It does the job enhancing significantly the original recorded sounds, if you know how to use it properly. More often than you would think, it wouldn't be the option to bring dead sounds back to life to cut trough your mix. Is great to cut down unwanted frequencies and sounds, it does it in a clean millimetric way. Uses a lot of dsp. I suggest Universal Audio to enhance the sound of this one, as it still has a long way to go to sound close to the original hardware!

어느정도 편곡이 완성될즈음
마스터단에 얘를 건다. 시원한 하이와 뚱뚱한 로우를 얻을 수 있다. 덕분에 작업하는 기분이 배로 난다. 물론 기분때문에 돈쓴건 속쓰리지만 치킨사먹을돈 아껴서 샀다 치고 다이어트에도 도움이 된다 치고 ....그래도 속은 쓰리지만 샤방샤방한 하이와 단단한 킥소리를 들으면 기분이 매우매우 좋다 ^^

Mastering Musical EQ
I use Massive Passive every time I have to restore a ruined sound by excessive handlings
j. elliott
when it works it's a killer...
...but it doesn't work for everything, just the nature of the hardware it emulates, but well worthwhile for that gooey mid range, if that is what you're after.

Best EQ I have used so far
This is by far the cleanest and warmest sounding EQ I have used so far. Thanks to the Satellite the DSP load is not too bad and I can use it on a few tracks in my DAW. Excellent product from UA!
