Sonnox® Oxford Limiter v2
-
A dramatic update to one of the world’s favorite professional limiter plug-ins.
The Sonnox Oxford Limiter v2 plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces lets you increase the volume, density, and presence of your tracks without losing all-important transients or dynamics.
Featuring the latest generation of Oxford Limiter's inter-sample peak (ISP) detection — introduced for the first time on the UA platform — this powerful plug-in is an essential tool for engineers looking for an uncolored, precise limiter for their masters.Get maximum loudness without losing essential transients and dynamic impact
Increase density, presence, and clarity on group buses and masters
Audition and apply TPDF dither for 24-bit and 16-bit output word lengths, with four types of variable noise shaping
Prevent distortion during post-master processing stages such as MP3/AAC encoding
A World-Class Mastering Limiter
Conventional limiting in mastering applications has a number of benefits. However, there are less helpful consequences, such as a loss of clarity and detail of transients. The Sonnox Oxford v2 plug-in delivers the hottest levels possible while keeping your dynamics intact.
Goodbye Inter-Sample Peaks
Inter-sample peaks are introduced by post-master lossy compression, like mp3 conversion, and sub-optimal listening devices The Oxford Limiter v2 is the only UAD plug-in for loudness enhancement that incorporates the most modern standards for inter-sample peak detection and correction, going way beyond standard brick wall limiters.
Final Fit and Finish
A final stage processor must provide a comprehensive set of dithering options so that the engineer can monitor in real-time the effects of dithering, and then apply it to their final mixdown. The Oxford Limiter v2 provides both 24 bit and 16 bit output word length selections, using high pass TPDF (Triangular Probability Density Function) dithering, plus four types of variable-depth noise shaping.

Oxford scholars!
Every Sonnox/Oxford plug-in I've tried has delivered uncompromising sound quality and makes what I do better. The Inflator and SuprEsser rank as best-in-class plug-ins for their applications. The Limiter v2 is just the same. There's so much flexibility and sonic richness built into it! The best way to describe it is that it "breathes" with the audio. Less than 48 hours after purchase, I used it on an editing project--bullseye. It's also wonderful that when you hover over the various buttons and controls (a feature on all its plug-ins), Oxford tells you exactly what they do and how they work. No more having to act like I know all things audio -- I'm here to learn! Great work Team Sonnox.

Exceptional Limiter
I used many other limiters from other high profile companys, but this is my favourite so far. It's extremely transparent and loud. It has superb clarity. A must have for sure.
K. Dobracki
Loud as storm!
Oh yes. This limiter pushes up the limits. You can make your mix very loud with it!
Y. Akai
Limiter with the highest transparency.
I have used the previous version on other systems and found this UAD version to be even more transparent and articulate than the previous version.
That's wonderful.S. Cesur

Sounds way better than the native one
This UAD version of this plug-in sounds way better than the native one , gives me the punch, loudness & clarity that i need
Q. Phùng
Plugin tuyệt vời!
Bộ giới hạn thực sự tuyệt vời, chính xác những gì tôi cần.

That last 10%
Any professional in the box engineer knows the pain of acquiring that last 10-20% that brings you closer to the sonic depth, saturation and clarity of analog gear and we are almost there. This was the last piece of the jigsaw for me!

Sonnox Oxford Limiter v2
By comparison with others limiters the Sonnox Oxford Limiter v2 seems to work inaudible in the background - if wanted. The parameters also allow the use of the limiter like an effect, manipulating the material with profound consequence. Great plugin!!
J. Marley
A powerful limiter
More than enough for any producer, I like pro L2 but this takes the cake. Bought on half price sale and I think worth the money

Sonno oxford limiter v2
Veramente indispensabile,dopo averlo usato non puoi farne a meno, si deve smanettare un pochino per arrivare a un risultato desiderato, il suono non distorce mai anche se lo tiri al massimo,è un plug in superiore a tanti un pò blasonati.

Killer
The "Enhance" function is highly useful, depending on style of music.
C. Knight
You need this plugin.
Buy it, you need it for that "pro-level" sound, It Enhances everything.
B. Hamann
Perfect
No "Mix-Sumbus" without this Limiter while mixing. Of course a must have - for me - for mastering too.
It's time that uad adds the Sonnox Oxford Dynamics and the Reverb to the product range, I think. Would be great;).N. Miller
Instant Gratification
Couldn’t ask for more in a limiter. Easy to use, effective limiting, and great tonal options when needed. Very smooth and balanced even at aggressive settings. Checks all the boxes.
