The Sonoris Equalizer is a parametric equalizer in VST and SAWStudio format. The plugin is suitable for mastering and mixing and features 7 bands, including lowpass, highpass, peaking and shelving filters. The plugin has a large graphical display that shows exactly what you get. The Sonoris Equalizer has an automatic upsampling mode. In this mode, the Equalizer has an even more accurate response, especially at the higher frequencies.

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 SNEQ allows for monitoring the LR or MS channels.

The aim was to create a minimum phase equalizer with filters that match the response of their analog counterparts over the entire frequency range. Most digital eqs suffer from the so called pre-warping effect. This is an unwanted effect that occurs when translating an analog transfer function (the S-domain) mathematically to the digital domain (=z-domain).

This is mostly done by a process called bi-linear transformation and as a side-effect this process causes the gain to be zero dB at Nyquist ALLWAYS, independent of how you set the controls. This alone is not that bad, BUT the filters start behaving weird far below the Nyquist frequency and the result is a distorted frequency response.
