LIMITER
The KT series software includes a compressor/limiter
for each the high, mid and low-frequency audio. A
compressor essentially reduces excessive levels by
a pre-determined ratio. Once the output signal sur-
passes a user-set level, the signal over this level will
be ‘compressed’ at the user-determined ratio. Once
the signal then reaches the “limiter” threshold set by
the user, it will be cut off at that level. Essentially, the
signal level will not surpass the limiter’s threshold.
The first page of the LIMITER section of the KT
software simply has display graphs for each the low-
frequency, mid-frequency and high-frequency. Users
can simply select these on screen to enter the limiter
for that particular frequency range.
In addition to the graph displaying the compressor/
limiter curve, these windows also include input and
output meters and a gain reduction meter. The gain
reduction meter will display the level that the signal
is reduced when the compressor and limiter are
activated.
LIMITER LF / MF / HF
ON BUTTON: The on button will simply activate and
deactivate the corresponding limiter.
DISPLAY GRAPH: This plots the input/output lev-
els of the compressor and limiter. The individual
threshold (T) and ratio (R) for the compressor can be
adjusted on screen by simply clicking and dragging
the points with your mouse.
LEVEL METER: Directly beside the display graph
is an input and output meter. If output levels are
excessive, the limiter can actually be utilized to help
combat this.
GAIN REDUCTION:
This meter will display the level
in which the limiter reduces the output signal.
COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD: This adjusts the
threshold of the compressor. Once your signal level
passes the selected threshold, the compressor will
kick-in at the set ratio.
RATIO: This can be used to adjust the compressor
input/output signal ratio. This essentially determines
the level at which the signal will be cut after the
threshold is surpassed.
