The Metric Halo MH Sonic EQ plugin provides musicians and audio engineers with a powerful yet intuitive equalizer for shaping tone. Originally developed in the '90s for mastering studios, the MH Sonic EQ has been recreated with modern features while retaining its renowned sound quality and precision. With six fully parametric bands, including a specialized filter for vinyl and digital formats, the MH Sonic EQ gives you unparalleled control over your mix.

Craft Your Tone With Musicality

The MH Sonic EQ's filters allow you to craft EQ curves that would look broken on other equalizers yet still sound perfectly natural. Each band provides 2nd to 8th order filters for managing specific frequency content with minimal effect on surrounding frequencies. The result is a full, sweet tone with enhanced clarity and presence. Whether you're recording, mixing, mastering or restoring audio, the MH Sonic EQ helps you achieve your ideal sound faster.

Harness Precision Control

With its high-order filters and minimized ripple, the MH Sonic EQ gives you a high degree of control over the equalization process. Easily target problem frequencies or create broad, musical changes to your tone. The MH Sonic EQ's versatility suits any audio task, from subtle tweaks to bold sound design choices. When you need surgical precision, the MH Sonic EQ delivers.

Access Specialized Filters

In addition to its parametric bands, the MH Sonic EQ provides laboratory-grade filters for transferring vinyl and digital recordings. Encode or decode RIAA curves for vinyl with accurate frequency response. Remove DC offset and apply the correct de-emphasis for early CDs and DATs. These specialized filters save time when restoring and archiving legacy media.

Analyze and Monitor Your Sound

The MH Sonic EQ includes built-in metering and spectrum analysis using Metric Halo's SpectraFoo technology. View your equalization curve and levels on a detailed spectrum analyzer to see how the MH Sonic EQ is impacting your frequency balance. Check gain reduction at a glance with the MH Sonic EQ's scalable meters. Analyzing and monitoring your changes helps ensure an optimal mix.
