270 New Headphone EQ Correction Profiles Added to All Nx Plugins

Sep 22, 2022

We are glad to announce that over 270 new EQ correction profiles have been added to Waves Nx headphone mixing plugins, covering every major headphone model by AKG, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Sony, Focal, Audeze, and dozens more brands.

270 New Headphone EQ Correction Profiles Added to All Nx Plugins

Waves Nx plugins are now the world’s only plugins to combine 3D acoustic simulations of the world’s finest studios and speaker systems—from Abbey Road and Ocean Way, to Chris Lord-Alge’s Mix LA and Germano Studios New York—together with high-precision EQ correction for hundreds of headphone models. Now you can create better mixes on headphones, with reliable acoustic response and state-of-the-art headphone EQ calibration, all in the same suite of plugins.

The new headphone profiles are now added to all Waves Nx plugins:

All these plugins (except Abbey Road Studio 3) are also available in the Nx Virtual Studio Collection.

Already Own Nx Plugins? Here’s How to Update

If you own any of the above plugins with current Waves Update Plan coverage, update them for free here.
If you need to renew your Waves Update Plan coverage for any of these products, first renew it here, and then update.

Over 270 Headphone Models: The Complete List

Please note: For all the models listed below, unless otherwise noted, Nx plugins utilize the Harman Headphone Target Curve method for EQ correction (watch this video for info about this method). For several models (noted below), Nx plugins utilize both the Harman Target Curve method and the non-Harman method utilized in Nx plugins prior to September 2022, allowing you to choose between the two. For three models (noted below), Nx plugins utilize only the non-Harman method.
