Controls

Bypass

When activated, routes the input signal directly to the output channel without passing through the Hard Limiter. The Side Chain input is not bypassed, so the gain reduction meter continues to update.

Threshold

Sets the input level above which the compressor will attenuate the input signal.

If the level of the signal at the Side Chain input is lower than the Threshold setting, the hard limiter routes the signal through the device unaffected.

Attack Time

Sets how quickly the compressor reacts to an increasing input signal level.

Release Time

Sets how long the compressor waits before releasing its attenuation value.

Gain Reduction Meter

Indicates the amount of attenuation currently being produced by the hard limiter.

Note: The hard limiter is capable of unlimited attenuation, however the meter's limit is -35dB.
