Great, this is exactly the tone I was looking for!

An absolute powerhouse!

What a powerful EQ for mastering! It is smooth and musical, with the ability to do broad strokes or get a little surgical with your EQ moves. You can also gain stage with the gain control, and filter with the high pass / low pass. It lives on my mix buss.

One of the best eqs of uad

It sounds so real… I use it a lot

Fantastic!!!

I’ve had the chance to use the Manley Massive Passive EQ in my productions, and I absolutely love it. Its sound is incredibly musical, with a warmth and depth that few EQs can match. The way it shapes frequencies, especially in the mid and high range, adds a unique richness to mixes without any harshness. Whether on buses, the master, or individual elements, it always brings that analog and organic touch that makes a difference. Definitely an essential tool in my workflow.

WOW

Once again Universal Audio managed to achieve another great rendition of a top quality hardware.

At first I was a bit skeptical but once I compared it to the actual hardware and let me tell you this it was very difficult to tell the difference from hardware to plugin.

Great job to all the software engineers in making this possible.

High quality eq

Have not had this long but works well in many situations. Pre-sets are great but can be tweaked to even clearer result. My go to eq. for best results.

Impressed!

I'm impressed with the results I got with this Manley EQ! I have other mastering EQ plugins, but none of them has given me the clarity (specially in the high's) that I get with the Manley. Now this is a "Must" in my mixes or masters.

Really surprised by this

This came with a bundle I bought. I had no interest in it and would not have bought it separately. Guess what? It's super useful for broad equalization. I haven't tried any surgical stuff with it but I'd bet it can do that too. I'm knocking off a star just because this is one where I wish UA wasn't so dead set on sticking to the hardware interface. It might be easier to use for some if they altered the interface. All in all I'm glad I have this plug despite not wanting it.
