Ultra high-end tube EQ for mixing and mastering.

Dial in punch, air, sizzle, and clarity without adding harshness
Select between standard and mastering version with stepped bandwidth controls

Featuring the Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in
Massive Reputation
The two-channel, four-band Manley Massive Passive tube EQ utilizes design strengths from choice console, parametric, graphic, and Pultec EQs — delivering sweet, musical curves with unparalleled clarity and headroom. The “Passive” in the Manley Massive Passive refers specifically to the tone shaping elements of the equalizer, which use only resistors, inductors, and capacitors to create all frequency changes. Its Frequency controls intentionally interact with one another, as do the Gain and Bandwidth controls, allowing for the Massive Passive’s natural and organic sound.
The Only Authentic Massive Passive Emulation
Painstakingly modeled by Universal Audio and rigorously scrutinized by Manley Labs for authenticity, the Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in captures the hardware’s unique filter curves and musical distortion.
Mix or Master
The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in offers a Standard version that offers continuous Bandwidth adjustment, and a Mastering version that includes 16 steps of easily recallable Bandwidth selections. Perfect for subtle or broad strokes to individual instruments or whole mixes, you can add presence and sizzle without harshness to drums and vocals, or add weight and heft to an entire mix without muddying the bottom end.
“I can't hear any difference between my hardware Manley Massive Passive and the UAD plug-in on any instrument I've A/B'd. It's that good.”
– Michael Brauer (Rolling Stones, Coldplay)
“The bottom-line to me is, the UAD Massive Passive sounds @#$%ing great! This is my new buss EQ.”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“It's amazing how accurately the UAD Manley Massive Passive EQ captures the subtle EQ sweeps of the hardware. ”
– Jason Schweitzer (Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Ciara)レビュー

Idk I have a hardware massenberg parametric that is totally hi-fi it’s like comparing a hardware version of an 1176, that being said the plugin it’s not as organically sweet compared to a hardware inductor based eq. However you’re dsp models ng programmers are among the best bar none. I also have two Brent Averill original 1073’s and I have the 1084 plug in. Spot on! How about modeling a flickenger??

CPU Crazyness
I used to love this plug in and it was always on my master, but today when I put it on a master the CPU exploded and the audio started crackling. I have not updated to the new Mac OS , I am still using Mojave. I don't understand this and I am very sad
M. Kerlin
Great

The creative EQ
This is a tone shaper for the creative process that music recording actually is. With one movement you can make your life instruments shine without the harshness often associated with EQ’s.
Shaping a kick drum is easy as a summer’s day thanks to the shape of the shelve. This is a professional tool and a beautiful palette in one plugin. Thank you Manley.
