Purpose

The limiter provides a means of limiting the dynamics in an audio signal. Limiters are often used as a last line of defense to prevent clipping and protect speaker drivers.

The main difference between the Limiter and the Compressor is that the Limiter uses a peak level detector on at the Side Chain input whereas the Compressor uses an RMS level detector.
