What it is

The Oxford Inflator is a dynamics plugin from Sonnox that increases perceived loudness while preserving sonic quality and dynamic range. It functions as both a compressor-limiter and enhancer, adding presence and power without the pumping artifacts associated with traditional compression. Available in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX.

Who it's for

Mixing engineers and producers who want to add punch and weight to individual tracks or full mixes without aggressive limiting. It's particularly effective on vocals, drums, bass, and as a final stage in mastering chains.

Key features

• Increases perceived loudness without compression pumping artifacts
• Adds apparent dynamic range even to previously clipped signals
• Offers both Direct and Band-split modes for targeted control
• Delivers tube-like musical warmth when driven harder
