No Overshoot Peak Limiter

Definition:

The no overshoot peak limiter has the ratio fixed at infinity to one (∞:1), uses fast

time constants and inserts 1 millisecond signal path delay, allowing the gain reduction to act

instantaneously, without audible clipping artifacts, once the input level goes above the threshold.

With the no overshoot peak limiter, no peaks will pass through the system, yet the harshness of

clipping is avoided.

Application:

A peak limiter is often used to protect against sudden bursts which could

potentially damage loudspeakers, such as a dropped microphone or a mixer switched on after the

power amplifiers.

For the peak limiter, the parameters and controls function as follows:

PEAK Select Button. Click on this button to select the peak limiter. Click a second time to

bypass.

THRESHOLD. The threshold sets the dynamic level above which the processing begins. To

adjust the threshold, click and drag the “T” box at the top of the graph, or click on the ↑ and ↓

buttons of the THRESHOLD field.

NOTE: Since Peak Limiter is intended to protect equipment from the loudest

dynamic bursts, which could potentially damage equipment, the attack is always

instant, the ratio always infinite (

∞), and the decay fast, so Threshold is the only

parameter necessary to adjust.

Snapshots

A snapshot allows you to view a trace of the original input/output curve. This is an effective setup

tool because it allows you to see how the changes are affecting the curve.

In order to use a snapshot:

1. Click on the TAKE button.

2. Click on the SHOW button.

3. Adjust any dynamics parameters necessary.

NOTE: If there have been no changes to the curve since the snapshot was

originally taken, you may not see the snap shot. Once you make changes, the

current curve will change and you will be able to see the snapshot underneath.
