INTRODUCTION

Welcome

The P2 is a “set and forget” Loudness pilot and Limiter for Post production and Broadcast. It is designed especially for fixed installations where a consistent loudness and spectral balance is required but excels also in peak limiting functions.

Factory loaded with a broad selection of World Standard Presets the P2 can be used right out of the box. However, via the TC Icon PC Editor, suitable presets can be built by the Administrator and various lock functions can be applied to ensure no unintended change of settings by the daily User. Once setup and loaded with presets any person doing video editing, audio production, audio mixing or tape-copying. Simply pick the predefined optimal preset and avoid having to think about audio levels again.
