The Manley mastering EQ that never existed. Until now.
Manley's first original EQ plugin. Built on decades of analog expertise.
Developed with Manley's hardware designers, ecliptic combines analog transformer models, filters, and EQs for intuitive Mid/Side mixing and mastering. Shape the center and sides with a single set of controls – all “in the box”.
Parallel EQ bands and interacting curves add depth, air, warmth, and analog character. From subtle mastering polish to bold mix-bus shaping, ecliptic makes your sound bigger, wider, and more alive.
From plugin to hardware? Help shape what comes next.
For nearly two decades, Brainworx has brought legendary analog hardware into your DAW. With ecliptic, we're exploring the reverse. Try it, tell us what you love and let us know what you'd like us to refine.
Our goal is to refine ecliptic together with you and explore its potential beyond the plugin. Your feedback will help shape its future – and if enough users share our vision, ecliptic will become the next Manley hardware product. Manley's next classic starts here.
