The Limiter

The CEDAR Cambridge Limiter is designed and coded to the highest 64-bit standards and is suitable for the most exacting mastering requirements. The Limiter is far more than simply a severe form of compressor with a very high ratio; it utilises a different signal path to achieve the desired results without unwanted side-effects. When compared to a compressor with a high ratio, you will find it to be much more musical in the way that it limits.

Protection from audio overloads

The Limiter prevents audio signals from exceeding a threshold, thus avoiding problems such as digital clipping and overloads elsewhere in the signal chain. When set up correctly, this will give protection from clipping with no audible degradation.

Multi-channel

It offers up to eight simultaneous audio channels that you can process independently, or with linked gains, as desired.

Linking

You can select which channels are included in a link. Once you have done so, the maximum attenuation in the linked side-chain determines a single gain change for all the linked channels, preserving the soundfield. Unlinked channels are limted individually.
