Elevate your mastering game with the Brainworx bx_XL V2, the pioneering Mid/Side mastering limiter that empowers you to achieve clean, competitively loud masters without sacrificing dynamics. Designed with Brainworx's cutting-edge M/S technology, this plugin allows you to deftly handle mid and side channels separately. Unlike conventional limiters, the bx_XL V2 splits the Mid channel into high and low bands, offering unparalleled control over three distinct channels—side, mid-high, and mid-low. This enables you to boost loudness while maintaining exceptional clarity and punch in your mixes.

With four stages of limiting, including a powerful brick wall limiter, the bx_XL V2 provides maximum control over your sound. The Crossover Frequency slider lets you isolate and process bass-heavy elements like kick drums differently, making it a go-to tool for genres such as dance, rock, and techno. Enhance your mixes with the XL saturation feature, introducing third and fifth-order harmonics to add warmth and depth while keeping your audio free from artifacts.

Complemented by sophisticated metering tools and a three-band psychoacoustic loudness maximizer, the bx_XL V2 is more than just a limiter—it's a comprehensive dynamics and loudness control system. Whether you're auditioning your mid/side signals individually or applying Phase-X crossover filters for phase correction, this plugin ensures you hear every detail with pristine clarity.
