UAD Quick Tips
Learn how to add clarity to a muddy acoustic, give body and weight to a drum bus, and add pro sheen to your entire mix with the tube-driven Manley Massive Passive EQ.
Add Effective, Musical Tone Shaping
The two-channel, four-band Manley Massive Passive tube EQ utilizes design strengths from choice console, parametric, graphic, and Pultec EQs — delivering sweet curves with unparalleled clarity and headroom. The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in expertly emulates these tone-shaping elements, giving you the same natural and organic sound as the hardware.
Experience Finished Pro Productions
The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-in gives you a Standard version with continuous bandwidth adjustment, and a Mastering version with 16 steps of easily recallable selections. Perfect for subtle or broad strokes to individual instruments or whole mixes, now you can add presence and sizzle without harshness to drums and vocals, or add weight and heft to an entire mix with clear, punchy 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. ”

Clean
I was debating if I needed this plugin for eq, and I’m glad I purchased it as it achieves a balance and clean sound that I haven’t been able to achieve with any of my other eq’s.

Cut and Boost
Very Musical. The cut and boost to different frequencies makes this plug-in work great on about anything you put it on. I have found myself bouncing back and forth between it and the Pultec EQ on almost every vocal I have processed lately. Nice tube vibe.
S. Nakajima
Natural,so good
It can naturally improve muffled sounds to clear sounds.

Great EQ
This is an amazing Eq and it takes space on my master bus

Super Flexible and Transparent
I haven’t had this plug-in very long, but so far I have not been able to get a bad sound out of it. Not that I’m trying to get a bad sound but I’ve tweaked the settings from minimum to max and everything sounds good. It’s nice to be able to target certain frequencies to bring those out in the mix and without a lot of trouble doing so. For me I don’t know that needs another equalizer as plug-in seems to meet all my needs.
