GR Limit Envelope

Here, a burst signal is used to demonstrate the eect of the Gain Reduction Limiter. While the

lowest curve represents the maximum amount of gain reduction in this example, the other curves

show the reduction that is inuenced by dierent settings of the now activated limiter. The eect

of this function can also be observed with a look at the gain reduction LED meter: The displayed

value never exceeds the limit which is set with the GR Limit controller – no matter, how high the

input level might become.

GR Limit Characteristic

Finally, a sine wave which increases in level is used in another angle of specifying the eect of the

Gain Reduction Limiter. The lowest curve shows a compressed signal with a high ratio and without

the limiter. The other curves reveal how the output level starts to rise again after the compression

phase, because the maximum amount of gain reduction which is set with the GR Limit controller

has already been utilized completely. This eect can be used to achieve compression within a se-

lective range of level exclusively, whereby loud signals can still keep their original dynamics.
