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

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