Waves L2 Ultramaximizer
RACKMOUNT DIGITAL LIMITERCertain new digital products have become 'must-haves' for the modern digital studio. A good candidate for this list is the L2 Ultramaximizer, a digital look-ahead peak limiter with Waves' proprietary IDR(tm) wordlength reduction system. Designed to be the last process in the mixing chain or in the mastering studio, the L2 is a stand-alone, 48-bit/96kHz two-rackspace hardware unit, based on Waves' second-generation technology from its L1 Ultramaximizer mastering software plug-in.
Like the L1 process, the L2 increases the average audio level and maintains absolute maximum peak levels without clip and without adverse side effects. Its IDR (Increased Digital Resolution) function is a requantization process that increases the perceived digital resolution by as much as three bits or 18 dB. Metal Slug Anthology Iso Wii there. WHAT'S INSIDEAnalog audio enters and leaves the unit as either balanced signals via the XLR connectors or as unbalanced through 11/44-inch jacks. Digital I/O includes both AES/EBU XLRs and S/PDIF RCA jacks.
This allows for fast safe access to your new software. For mixing, mastering, and more, the L2’s legendary combination of look-ahead brickwall peak limiting, level.
The L2 outputs audio as simultaneous analog and digital signals, making it ideal for mixing to both analog master tape recorders and digital media at the same time. The A/D converters are AKM AK5393 chips with two Burr-Brown INA103 chips per channel for balanced input and output amplifiers. The rest of the analog 'front end' was co-designed by Hutch of Manley Labs and Evegeny Klukin at Waves. Separate left/right 10dB input level trim controls let users tweak analog input operating levels, and six 16-segment LED meters display input level, output level and attenuation (gain reduction) for the left and right channels. These range from 0 to -96 dB and have an automatic peak hold function that's resettable from the front panel. L2 AS LIMITERAfter the inputs (analog or digital) are set, there are three main controls to adjust: Threshold, Output Ceiling and Release.
