UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 285 - Precision Maximizer
Output The Output knob controls the signal level that is output
from the plug-in. The available range is –12dB to 0dB.
Note that when Limit is not engaged, it is possible for the
output level to exceed 0dB. In this case, Output can be
lowered to eliminate any associated clipping.
When Precision Maximizer is used for CD mastering and
it is the last processor in the signal chain, the recom-
mended Output value is –0.10dB
Output Meter The stereo peak Output Meter displays the signal level at the out-
put of the plug-in. The displayed range is from –40dB to 0dB.
The very top segment of the Output Meter is a clip LED (one each
for the left and right channels) which illuminates when the signal
exceeds 0dB. The clip segment are held for three seconds before
resetting.
Note: The Limit function prevents the output signal from exceeding
0dB. Therefore, the clip LED’s will only illuminate if Limit is off.
Power The Power switch determines whether the plug-in is active.
This is useful for comparing the processed settings to the
original signal or bypassing the plugin to reduce the UAD
DSP load.
Toggle the switch to change the Power state; the UA logo
is illuminated in blue when the plug-in is active.
Note: You can click-hold the power switch then drag it like a slider to quickly
compare the enabled/disabled state.
