The Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer
The Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer is a parametric linear phase equalizer in SAWStudio format. The plugin is suitable for mixing and especially mastering and features 7 bands, including lowpass, highpass, peaking and shelving filters.
Transparancy
The plugin can be used to enhance or correct difficult material like vocal or instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes, without introducing any unwanted coloring. The linear phase implementation of the Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer ensures a transparent character and just boosts or cuts a frequency range without adding a “sound”. It doesn’t smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. This way it is possible to boost or cut more than with a conventional equalizer without any of these negative side effects.
Backward-forward filtering
The linear phase algorithm of the Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer is based on a technique called ‘backward-forward filtering’, until now only implemented in some expensive high end equalizers. The main advantage of this technique is that IIR filters can be used instead of FIR filters, the latter is commonly found in linear phase implementations. IIR filters are known for their more analog kind of filtering and are also more efficient than FIR filters. The filters used in the Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer are actually the same as in the Sonoris Equalizer and also have correct gain up to Nyquist.
Processing channels
Every band can be set up to process stereo, L , R or (M)id and (S)ide channels. Processing the mid or side information can be very useful in certain situations. In mastering for example, it allows you to enhance a centered vocal while leaving the other instruments untouched. Or to center a bass without losing the stereo imaging of the rest. Adjustment of is made easy because the SLPQ allows for monitoring the LR or MS channels.

The plugin has a large graphical display that shows exactly what you get.
Upsampling mode
The plugin has a HQ switch that enables an upsampling mode. In this mode, the SLPQ has an even more accurate response, especially at the higher frequencies.

Mit den beiden Equalizern sind Sonoris äußerst leistungsfähige und transparent klingende Präzisionswerkzeuge gelungen.
This is going to be my “go to” Eq. The sound quality is absolutely stellar! I just did an acoustic folk album using mostly this Eq and it is as like a veil being lifted from off the speakers, the definition and clarity is definitely on par with any other High-End digital Eq on the market.
I want to tell you I love the Eq and Linear Phase Eq plugins. They are the best sounding digital eq’s I have heard.
