Sonalksis is a UK-based audio plugin developer founded in 2002 in Liverpool, England by Kieran Tyrrell and Gus Miller, both former R&D engineers at AMS-Neve. Drawing on their background in large-format mixing console design and hardware DSP, the pair set out to bring analogue-quality processing to the software domain using proprietary "state-space" physical modelling technology. In 2010, the Sonalksis brand and product line were acquired by Sienda Multimedia Ltd, which continues development from Dorset, England.

Sonalksis offers a range of mixing and mastering plugins built around their physically-modelled analogue circuits. The SV series forms the core of the lineup: the SV-315Mk2 Compressor, SV-517Mk2 Equaliser (a seven-band EQ with multiple classic and contemporary filter styles), and SV-719 Analogue Gate. Beyond the essentials, the CQ1 Multiband Compander and DQ1 Dynamic Equaliser provide frequency-selective dynamics processing, while the Creative Filter — billed as the first "Adaptive Resonance" filter — and the Digital Grimebox cater to more experimental sound design. On the mastering side, the MultiLimit multiband limiter, MaxLimit program maximiser, StereoTools stereo imaging suite, and Ultimate-D dither/resolution processor round out a dedicated Mastering Suite. The free FreeG utility plugin, providing a large-format fader with precision metering, has become one of their most widely adopted tools.

Sonalksis has 14 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Compressor Plugins, Multi-Effect Plugins, and EQ Plugins. Their gear is featured by 27 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic and Rock. Notable users include Aiden Jude, Deniz Koyu, and The Midnight.
