Nice + useful
Pro: really small DSP consumtion , good to use , does no harm (if used right) , versatile and usefull
Con: analizer missing , maybe 6 band would be an enhancement , not really better than Logic own EQ
This is one of the oldest UAD Plugins and that can be seen. Still good and the huge ammouth of filtering types especially for lowpas and highpass filters is up to date. The only problem is, time do not stand still and so do competors. There is nothing special in it.
If you get it by an offer it´s ok, for 149.- it´s far to expensive nowadays.

Cambridge EQ vs oxford
Hola a todos. Tengo los dos. Sony oxford suena limpio y genial, pero Cambridge EQ es una maquina y el complemento perfecto para oxford. Empleo los dos y estoy muy contentos con ellos. Para siempre...

Simple et efficace
Beau design, simple d'utilisation et d'une efficacitée extrêmement précise. Utilise peu de CPU.

Could have saved the cash
Using so many plugins I actually liked the fabfilter better. I was forced to get this plugin considering my budget and a coupon expiring... Along the buss compressor which is highly over dramatic.

Can't beat it to make a crossover split
For removing nasty frequencies other EQs do the job just as well. However I have to say it's the best EQ around to split frequencies for different processing in my opinion. So clean and the different filter responses are fab.
An analyser would make it even better.

Sounds clean, but NEEDS an updated GUI.
Ok, I have some minor vision problems that are exaggerated when working with computer screens. This plugin needs a visual overhaul for me to give 5 stars. I need to be able to expand (maximize) the plugin window and have a cleaner look to the EQ to really work faster. As an EQ though, I am happy with it. I must say that I don't hear a ton of difference between it and the minimum phase eq in Logic. The Cambridge has some nice LPF and HPF options that go beyond the Logic one. Look, for the price, I cannot complain, but please give a clean GUI update. Some of us serious users do need it and it is not only about aesthetics of the look of the plugin.

Solid Eq
Accurate, transparent, versatile!

Needs a Frequency Analyser
Most similar plugins (ReaEQ, etc) have a real time frequency analyser. This one really should. It doesn't sound particularly great, but if it had the right features it might be useful. Another disappointment from UAD.

Really Nice: easy to use, sounds great!

Carving
I'm not very weathered in audio production as most people that use this plugin are (or any of UA's for that matter), but as a post guy, I can say that this plug makes it very easy to carve out the frequency of the VO. Super intuitive w/ great results. Just wish this plug would default to "no settings" but it doesn't, it's 2 clicks away.
All in all, happy for this guy.

Favorite Filters
Hands down my new favorite filters. The elliptic curve really cuts at a super steep slope with no side effects.
The absence of a spectrum analyzer forces you to use your ears, which I like.
Clean and quick.

Great on the 2-bus
Great-sounding eq for cleaning and tweaking on the master bus without any unwanted colouring at this final stage. Great for mastering too.

Very Flexable EQ
Using the Cambrigde EQ and having the flexablities needed to dial in frequency bands is a must in Sound design. This is an excellent EQ for the tool box and UAD powered systems.

Highly recommended!
Highly recommended!! i would like to see a Spectrum analyzer included.
But i'm pleased with the purchase

Exceptional EQ
I love this EQ. It allows me to tailor a sound specifically to how I like it. It's easy to use and it sounds great. A must have for all engineers.

Great Go-To for EQ, but...
When I first bought the Cambridge, I was a little skeptical about how much I would actually use it. After the first few tracks I used it on however, I was sold. It's clean, intuitive, and the documentation is solid.
My favorite feature is the versatility of the selectable curves for the cuts. My biggest complaint is the lack of a built in spectrum analyzer which I've found to be pretty standard on most other EQ plugins.
My biggest piece of advice to anyone not liking the sound they're getting is to actually read the documentation and learn how to use the 3 types to your advantage, as well as the various types of shelving if you're not getting the results you desire from the EQ shelves.

Great! BUT...
This is my To-Go EQ for mixing single tracks! BUT I really miss a spectrum analyzer in the background of the EQ curve!!!
This is really steep and neutral if wanted and there is NO other EQ out there which can do this! (yes melda is steep but frequencies stay and much own sound)

The "everything" EQ
I was on the fence about purchasing this plugin. I desperately needed a solid parametric EQ as my "go-to's" were leaving something to be desired - especially in the higher frequencies (5k and up). After reading the reviews and demoing the plugin extensively, I decided to bite the bullet. I'm so glad I did. The Cambridge puts every other parametric EQ in my plugin folder to shame. It can do everything from surgical EQ work to broad stroke boosts and cuts, all handled with ease. The high and low pass filter options are UNREAL! I have never heard a filter set with so few phasing issues. Add to it that the plugin only consumes 1% DSP power per instance and it's no wonder this little gem has risen above the rest of my EQ's. A must have!

Great EQ - Low DSP
A very nifty little eq with great sound and nice filter options. I find myself using many instances of it - and its low DSP hit - for adjusting tracks, groups and effect returns in the beginning of a mix for which I might end up using the bigger (massive passive) or more colorful (eg Pultec and Trident) guns. But often the trusty Cambridge stays, at least for hi/lo passes and more surgical cuts. It gets a lot of use and I'm very happy with this eq.
