The Limiter
Select LIM by pressing the BLOCK keys
Basic operation
- Press the PARAMETER keys to select parameter.
- Turn the ADJUST wheel to change values.
- Press the BAND keys to select between the three bands.
- Press the MENU keys to select User/Xpert/Xover.
User Menu
Threshold
Use the ADJUST wheel to change the Thresholds of the three
bands. When the Input level exceeds the Threshold, the Limiter.
will be activated.
On/Off
Use these parameters to enable/disable the three Limiter bands.
Clip
The clip function smoothly kills any overshoot that might occur
after heavy compression or limiting. The higher the percentage,
the softer the clip.
Expert Menu
Press MENU keys to enter the expert page.
Attack
The Attack time is the response time that the Limiter uses to
reach the gain reduction level.
Release
Release sets the fall-back time of the Limiter, after the signal
drops below the Threshold.
Side Chain / Delay
This parameter adjusts the Look-Ahead delay. This means that
your audio signal is delayed, e.g. 10ms.
By slightly delaying the audio signal, you enable the processor to
look ahead at the present signal, and it will, therefore, react more
accurately than a standard Compressor/Limiter/Expander.
The actual look-ahead delay time is scaled automatically with the
Attack time, individually on all three bands.
Note: This delay time parameter is common for the Compressor,
Limiter and Expander.
Digital Ceiling
With the Digital ceiling you can adjust the Digital maximum
Output, e.g., if you receive an overload indication on the device
connected to the DI/OUT of the Finalizer, you are able to reduce
the Output level down by 0.01dB increments.
Cross-over Menu
Press MENU keys to enter the Cross-over frequency
page (Xovr)
L-Xovr/H-Xovr
With the L-Xovr and H-Xovr you set the Cross-over points of the
three bands in the dynamics section.
Note: The Cross-over points are common for the Compressor,
Limiter and Expander.
