4-Band Limiter (Basic)
The SOUND4 STREAM X has a 4-Band Limiter that uses a powerful predictive algorithm and
is intended to prepare the audio for the final limiter. The VU meters are placed on the left side of
the parameters, and show the gain reduction of each band.
4-Band Limiter (Advanced)
Drive – creates more or less gain at the 3-Band Limiter’s input.
Threshold
– sets the working limits of each limiter band.
Mix – used to define the output level for each band so as to obtain the best sound balance.
Brick Wall Limiter
The final stage of the processing is the Brick Wall Limiter. It takes place right before the output,
and is the only stage in the chain that cannot be entirely bypassed. Although the Drive can be
switched ON and OFF (set to zero) the Brick Wall Limiter will not allow the output of the chain
to exceed 0 dBFS.
Metering – Depicts the amount of gain reduction applied by the final Brick Wall Limiter.
Drive – Is used to trim the amount of drive applied to the Final Brick Wall Limiter.
Release – Is used to adjust the release time of the final limiter section. By default, the option is
set to Medium Fast.
