DSX
The graphic of the C.R.I. limiter shows a "normal" limiter of +4 dB compared with the C.R.I. limiters with
+4 dB with a knee ± 2, 4, 6 and 8 decibels of action. There you can see that the dynamic control is becoming
more progressive and we still have headroom even when the Limiter acts. In the case of
C.R.I. compressor, the
threshold is set at +4 dB and the ratio is 1:3, 3 decibels increase at the input provide 1 decibel in the output.
It also appreciates the same gradually control effect, noting a much smaller initial attenuation of the input
signal.
The main advantage of using C.R.I. limiters against others, is that their job carries intrinsically a
compressor that evolves to a limiter depending on the input signal level , saving the need to include a
compressor before it to reduce the dynamics. The C.R.I. limiters act like a compressor that evolves from a
1:1 ratio to 1:

dB range that we want with the Knee. The result is a more progressive and transparent way
to maintain headroom even when it has already begun to act. The same occurs in the C.R.I. compressor where
changing the ratio of 1:1 to 1:n where n is the new ratio selected.
4 - EDITING WITH DSX
First select want you want to use; compressor or limiter. Remember that the use of C.R.I. Compresor or
Limiter carries a continuous compressor ending in a limitation. If Limiter is selected, the potentiometer on the
left will appear the Threshold , that will indicate the value of limitation, and the Ratio potentiometer will be
turned off, as being a limiter it will be 1:

. If we select Compressor, Ratio will become active.
By varying the potentiometers you will modify the values of (taking from left to right) Threshold : Level
signal limitation/compressor; Ratio : compressor Relation; Knee : control of C.R.I. indicating the margin of
decibels in which it operates.
In all cases, the present value is shown below each potentiometer.
By varying the Knee , we can move from a Normal limiter or compressor with Knee = 0dB to a C.R.I.
with 10 decibels of acting range.
