De-Esser Plugin
Tame Sibilance Without Losing Clarity
The X902 De-Esser is a precision tool for controlling harsh consonants, excessive top-end, and piercing transients - while preserving the natural tone of the voice or instrument.
With intuitive controls, surgical targeting, and real-time auditioning, it delivers clean, clear results with minimal setup.
Whether you're treating sung vocals, voiceovers, or cymbal-heavy tracks, X902 offers refined de-essing that simply works.
Realtime & Native
Runs natively in your DAW on macOS or Windows, or in real-time on a Synergy Core-equipped interface.
Transparent Sibilance Control
Reduce harsh "S", "T", and "F" sounds without dulling the overall tone.
The X902 keeps your vocals bright, clear, and natural while eliminating distracting high-frequency spikes.
Precise Frequency Targeting
Quickly select the offending sibilant range using intuitive frequency and threshold controls.
Focus only on what needs taming - no need for heavy-handed EQ cuts.

Ideal for preserving vocal warmth and low-end body.
Audition Function for Fine-Tuning
Solo the exact frequencies being attenuated with a single click.
Hear exactly what you're removing, for confident mix decisions and pinpoint accuracy.
Versatile for Vocals, Speech, and Cymbals
