Can I get a discount on UAD Sonnox plug-ins?

Modified on Wed, 30 Jul at 4:35 PM

Two separate companies sell, license, and support Sonnox Native/HDX plug‑ins and UAD Oxford plugins.


Because of this, there is no cross‑discount available between the two product ranges.


Understanding the Difference

Sonnox Native / HDX Products

  • Purchased from Sonnox or authorised Sonnox dealers.

  • Delivered via iLok licensing.

  • Supported by Sonnox Support.

UAD Oxford Plug‑ins

  • Purchased from Universal Audio.

  • Delivered via UA Connect and authorised to UAD‑2 DSP hardware or Apollo interfaces.

  • Supported by Universal Audio Support.


Why No Cross‑Discount Is Possible

  • The UAD Oxford plug‑ins are developed for and integrated into UA’s exclusive software distribution system.

  • They can only be purchased, downloaded, and authorised via Universal Audio’s platform.

  • Sonnox has no access to UA’s sales, licensing, or customer systems, and UA has no access to Sonnox’s.

  • This means there is no way to link purchase history between the two companies to offer discounts.


List of UAD Oxford Plug‑ins

Currently offered by Universal Audio:

  • Oxford EQ

  • Oxford Inflator

  • Oxford Envolution

  • Oxford Dynamic EQ

  • Oxford Limiter v2

  • Oxford SuprEsser DS

All are exclusive to UA’s ecosystem and are not available for demo, purchase, or upgrade through Sonnox.
