Antelope X902

Runs natively in your DAW on macOS or Windows.

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.

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.

HF Only Mode

Engage HF Only mode to attenuate just the high-frequency content, leaving the rest of the signal untouched. 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 & Cymbals

Use X902 to clean up sung vocals, voiceovers, podcasts, and even harsh cymbal transients. It’s a mix-ready utility for any high-frequency trouble spot.

X902 is part of the Antelope Cosmos plugin collection.
