Let&#8217;s decide in this SSL Native X-EQ 2 review.<\/p>\n<h2>SSL Native X-EQ 2 Review<\/h2>\n<p>SSL calls the <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/EaPLEe\">Native X-EQ 2<\/a> a mastering grade plugin that&#8217;s powerful and light enough on CPU to become every engineer&#8217;s &#8220;go-to.&#8221; It certainly boasts the features to make that a reality, with 24 bands, more filter types than you know what to do with, band solo to weed out trouble areas, spectrum analysis, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n<p>From a GUI and workflow standpoint, it looks like a lot of competitors out there (ahem, FabFilter Pro-Q). So anyone familiar with modern digital EQs should have no trouble diving in and getting comfortable with the SSL Native X-EQ 2.<\/p>\n<p>The sound is arguably more open and transparent than other similar plugins, thanks to what SSL calls their proprietary &#8220;anti-clamping&#8221; algorithm. We&#8217;re going to spend some time investigating this, because it&#8217;s probably the most unfamiliar and vague feature of the SSL Native X-EQ 2.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially with digital EQs, there&#8217;s an issue of cramping that occurs when you try to boost the upper end of the frequency spectrum \u2014 namely with bell-shaped boosts. The problem is that you&#8217;re quickly approaching the Nyquist frequency, or the very upper limit of what&#8217;s recordable\/translatable in digital audio. In this case, 22.05 kHz and 24 kHz when working in common sample rates 44.1 and 48 kHz.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54319 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2.png\" alt=\"SSL Native X-EQ 2 Review (Still the Best?)_2\" width=\"500\" height=\"359\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2.png 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-150x108.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-80x57.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-320x230.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-313x225.png 313w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-237x170.png 237w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-209x150.png 209w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-40x29.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-160x115.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-20x14.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-474x340.png 474w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-14x10.png 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-418x300.png 418w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-13x9.png 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_2-385x276.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In practical usage, boosting for air somewhere between 15 and 20 kHz can result in cramping; it isn&#8217;t always obvious, but carefully trained ears may detect distortion, harshness, or other artifacts in the very top end. Now here&#8217;s the thing: plugins already have a workaround for cramping called oversampling. What the plugin does is upsample the audio, pushing the upper frequency boundary farther away and thus avoiding cramping. And then it downsamples the audio back to the session sample rate.<\/p>\n<p>Oversampling works, but it&#8217;s often CPU-heavy. SSL developers came up with their own formula for oversampling which doesn&#8217;t cost any additional CPU; the &#8220;how&#8221; isn&#8217;t something SSL software engineers want to reveal, as it&#8217;s a unique feature of the plugin.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting feature is parallel mode. In a standard serial EQ, each band is fed the output of the one prior to it; they form a chain, or &#8220;series,&#8221; arriving at the main output. In parallel, each band receives its own separate input from the main source and sums them together at the output of the EQ. Parallel mode has the potential to alter the interactions between bands and change the feel of the plugin.<\/p>\n<h3>SSL EQ Features:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>24-band fully parametric digital EQ<\/li>\n<li>Unique SSL anti-cramping algorithms (preserves high-end)<\/li>\n<li>Efficient and easy on CPU<\/li>\n<li>17 filter types: 5 cut filters, 9 bells, shelving filters, a parallel mode, and custom filters<\/li>\n<li>Draggable EQ graph nodes, mouse wheel adjustment, and numerical data entry<\/li>\n<li>M\/S as well as Left\/Right processing<\/li>\n<li>Individual band solo and bypass<\/li>\n<li>Real-time frequency spectrum analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>SSL Native X-EQ 2 vs FabFilter<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabfilter.com\/products\/pro-q-3-equalizer-plug-in\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54318 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3.jpg\" alt=\"SSL Native X-EQ 2 Review (Still the Best?)_3\" width=\"500\" height=\"311\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-80x50.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-320x199.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-273x170.jpg 273w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-241x150.jpg 241w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-40x25.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-160x100.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-20x12.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-16x10.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-482x300.jpg 482w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SSL-Native-X-EQ-2-Review-Still-the-Best_3-385x239.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabfilter.com\/products\/pro-q-3-equalizer-plug-in\">FabFilter Pro-Q 3<\/a> is widely considered the industry-standard digital EQ. In many ways it&#8217;s similar to SSL Native X-EQ 2, and in many ways its features are far more extensive. Take something obvious like the dynamic mode in <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/DYePj\">FabFilter Pro-Q 3<\/a>, which turns any band into a volume-specific boost\/cut. The idea is the same as a multiband compressor; the plugin applies a boost or a cut only after it surpasses a set threshold. So you can achieve things like de-essing \u2014 alongside surgical EQ, tonal EQ, and more \u2014 all inside FabFilter.<\/p>\n<p>You can even open up Pro-Q 3 on one track and monitor the frequency spectrum of an instance on a completely different track and see if there are any colliding\/competing frequencies. This is barely scratching the surface of how deep Pro-Q 3 goes. At full price, FabFilter ($179) is superior to SSL ($299) as well. Most people would probably purchase Pro-Q 3 before SSL X-EQ.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/ssl-big-six-review\/\">SSL Big Six Review: Upgrade Your Studio with This Powerful Mixer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion: SSL Native X-EQ 2<\/h2>\n<p>SSL Native X-EQ 2 is a cool plugin.
