6.17 - Limiter Insert
The DriveRack 4800/4820 units offer a Limiter in the Output Insert position. A Limiter operates on the same principles as a compressor (see section 6.14) but it is designed and used more for system protection rather than musical dynamics control.
Limiter On/Off switch
This turns the Limiter module on and off.
OverEasy fader
OverEasy is a characteristic of dbx Compressor/Limiters is essentially a
Threshold fader
The Threshold is the signal level at which the unit begins to limit the signal. If the level is set to
PeakStopPlus On/Off switch
This switch engages PeakStopPlus® and changes the Limiter from an RMS (Root Mean Squared) or aver- aging limiter to a peak limiter. The difference between these two types of limiters is in the signal that is being fed to the detection circuit or algorithm. The detector of an RMS limiter is “looking” at an average signal, while a peak limiter “looks” at the instantaneous signal. An averaging limiter will be less responsive and will not actually limit every peak where a peak limiter will.
PeakStopPlus Overshoot fader
In the DriveRack when PeakStopPlus is engaged the algorithm allows selection of how much a transient signal will be allowed to pass the limiter threshold before it is stopped. This amount is the Overshoot. Overshoot can be adjusted between 2 and 6dB.
Auto On/Off switch
Auto mode dynamically sets the Attack, Hold, and Release parameters in real time based on the incoming signal. This switch turns the Auto mode on and off.
