MH Precision DeEsser
The deal
$99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $179, 44% off). Deal runs through August 21, 2026.
What it is
MH Precision DeEsser is a surgical de-essing plugin from Metric Halo built around a high-precision linear-phase filter paired with a dedicated compression stage for sibilance control. It combines filter shaping (center frequency, bandwidth, sharpness) with an ess-compressor (threshold, ratio, attack, release) and a built-in SpectraFoo spectrum analyzer, so you can see exactly what frequency range you're taming instead of guessing. The linear-phase design keeps the rest of the signal free of phase smearing while it works.
Who it's for
Mixing engineers and vocal producers who need precise control over harsh esses, sibilants, and other narrow-band problem frequencies without coloring the rest of the track. It suits anyone who mixes vocals regularly and wants a more surgical alternative to broad-stroke de-essers, plus sound designers dealing with harsh transient content.
Key features
- A high-precision linear-phase filter with independent center, bandwidth, and sharpness controls isolates only the problem frequencies
- A dedicated ess-compressor with full threshold, ratio, attack, and release parameters handles the dynamics once the target band is isolated
- Five listening points across the signal chain let you audition exactly what's being processed at each stage
- Built-in SpectraFoo spectrum analysis and a scalable gain reduction meter give visual confirmation of what the plugin is doing in real time
