Configuration
Reference Level
Reference Level defines the standard operating level, and scales the Threshold and Target Level parameters of the Loudness control and Multiband section. The Threshold of the Limiter is not influenced by this setting, but is always relative to 0dBFS.
Typical Reference Level settings would be
If you wish to relate all levels to 0 dBFS, leave the Reference Level setting at 0 dBFS.
Analog vs. Digital level
If you use analog interfacing, remember always to set the relationship between absolute analog and digital level before adjusting parameters in the Engines.
Typical analog I/O level scaling would be +24dBu in the Americas and some parts of Asia, and +18dBu in Europe, Japan and some parts of Asia. The figure denotes the analog level required or produced for a 0dBFS signal.
Note 1: Be careful when changing between configurations. Moving from Dual Mono to Stereo will result from parameter settings of the left (or “A”) channel being copied into the right (or “B”) channel. Going from Dual Mono to Stereo and back to Dual Mono will therefore overwrite original right (or “B”) channel settings.
Note 2: In all configuration modes, linking of the Brickwall Limiter is set separately on the Limiter page. Some broadcasters like the sound of operating left and right limiting without stereo coupling because they feel that it maximizes loudness and widens the stereo image.
On dual mono sources, of course you should always choose
