Waves L2 Ultramaximizer
You can use L2 to significantly increase the average signal level of typical audio signals without introducing audible side effects. It’s superb for mastering, mixing, and recording, but equally capable of extreme limiting, intentional pumping, and vintage dynamic processing effects. Take L2 with you to every live sound venue, recording studio, mastering house and DAW for producing the hottest audio wherever and whenever you want. L2’s Increased Digital Resolution wordlength reduction system features ninth-order noise shaping which can increase the perceived sound by as much as 18dB. For example, when you start with original sources of 20 bits or more,16 and 20 bit masters may have the perceived sound quality of 19 and 23-bit signals.
FEATURES:
48-bit processing
Sampling rates up to 96 kHz
The famous brick-wall look ahead peak limiter from the Waves L1 software processor, with some extraordinary refinements
Waves proprietary IDR (Increased Digital Resolution) wordlength-reduction technology (2 types of dither and seventh-order noise shaping)
Waves ARC (Auto Release Control) technology for dynamically controlling release times for maximum level with minimum artifacts
IDR:
IDR is Increased Digital Resolution Requantize, Dither and NoiseShaping System.
It is a proprietary noise shaping dither system developed by Waves. It signifies a major advance in preserving and actually increasing the resolution of the digital signal being processed. IDR is of particular benefit when data is deliberately requantized to a shorter wordlength.
The Waves IDR system in L2 can be implemented with ease and convenience using the following three push button controls:
1. Quantize – You can choose the Quintile level according to your desired output (24, 22, 20, 18 or 16-bit).
2. Dither – there are two types: Type 1 provides no nonlinear distortion. Type 2 exhibits lower dither (hiss) level. L2’s Dither function can also be completely switched out (off).
3. Noise shaping – Select from either Moderate, Normal, Ultra, or non (off).
APPLICATIONS:
L2 performs high quality requantization to 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 bit signals. It can be used to requantize 24 bit input signals to 16 bit, an ideal function for DAT and CDR applications.
Unit is 2 jaar geleden volledig nagelopen incl. voeding door “Helios Haarlem”. Of wel in nieuwstaat.
