The Antelope Audio x902 is a de-esser plugin that artfully combines the vintage charm of a legendary 1980s VCA module with modern precision. Designed to tame sibilance and harshness without stripping away the natural tone, the X902 is a must-have for any audio engineer or musician looking to deliver crystal-clear vocal and instrument tracks.

With its transparent and musical de-essing capabilities, the X902 smoothly reduces excessive sibilance and high-frequency spikes, leaving your tracks sounding polished yet organic. Its intuitive interface allows for precise tuning with adjustable threshold, frequency, and range controls—perfect for fine-tuning vocals, instruments, or even cymbal-heavy sections.

One of the standout features is its HF Only Mode, which lets you target just the high-frequency content, preserving the warmth and body of the sound. This, combined with the Audition function, enables you to solo the exact frequencies being attenuated, offering pinpoint accuracy and confidence in your mix decisions.

Run it natively on your DAW, whether on macOS or Windows, and enjoy the ease of real-time auditioning with minimal setup. Whether you're tackling sung vocals, voiceovers, podcasts, or cymbal transients, the X902 delivers refined, reliable de-essing that simply works.
