Limiter
Limiter is designed to ensure that the output level never
exceeds a certain set output level, to avoid clipping in fol-
lowing devices. Limiter can adjust and optimize the Re-
lease parameter automatically according to the audio
material, or it can be set manually. Limiter also features
separate meters for the input, output and the amount of
limiting (middle meters).
The available parameters are the following:
Maximizer
Maximizer can be used to raise the loudness of audio ma-
terial without the risk of clipping. Optionally, there is a soft
clip function that removes short peaks in the input signal
and introduces a warm tubelike distortion to the signal.
The available parameters are the following:
Parameter Description
Input
(-24–+24dB)
Allows you to adjust the input gain.
Output
(-24–+6dB)
This setting determines the maximum output level.
Release
(0.1–1000ms
or
Auto mode)
This parameter sets the amount of time it takes for the gain
to return to its original level. If the “Auto” button is activated,
Limiter will automatically find an optimal release setting that
varies depending on the audio material.
Parameter Description
Output
(-24–+6dB)
This setting determines the maximum output level. Should
normally be set to 0 (to avoid clipping).
Optimize
(0–100)
This setting determines the loudness of the signal.
Soft Clip
(On/Off)
Soft Clipper starts limiting (or clipping) the signal “softly”,
at the same time generating harmonics which add a warm,
tubelike characteristic to the audio material.
