Sonimus has announced a first release candidate of the SonEQ 2 software equalizer effect for Windows and Mac.

Thousands of possibilities in just one plugin. SonEQ 2 is an innovative modular equalizer that offers users the chance to build their custom analog EQ right in your DAW.

Combine up to 16 of its 5 modules in any way you want. Add, delete, and rearrange the EQ bands and find your perfect sound. Each module has been carefully modeled using our Audio Quality Control Process.
