Pristine Peaks offers an innovative peak limiting solution for audio professionals demanding the utmost in sound clarity and quality. Ideal for both mixing and mastering applications, this mono/stereo limiter employs a unique dynamics control approach that maintains an extremely low total harmonic distortion (THD). Unlike traditional limiters, Pristine Peaks adjusts the entire waveform, ensuring clean, distortion-free sound even under significant gain reduction.
Key Features Include:
- Oversampling: Enhances inter-sample peak detection, crucial for accurate limiting.
- Dither Options: Provides 4 choices of dithering (16 and 24-bit) to maintain sound quality when reducing bit depth.
- Linear Phase High Pass Filter: Ensures phase coherency across the frequency spectrum, essential for high fidelity productions.
- Extensive Gain Controls: Offers up to 20dB of limiter drive and a +20dB ceiling range, allowing precise loudness management.
- Monitoring Tools: Features Gain Comp and Attenuation Delta controls for real-time monitoring of gain adjustments and removed peaks.
- Stereo Handling: Allows for stereo linked or independent left/right gain reduction, giving flexibility in stereo image control.
- Post-limiter Control: Includes a post-limiter, pre-dither output fader for final output adjustments.Â
Pristine Peaks is optimized for studio use, providing transparent limiting with no compromise on audio quality. It is not intended for live or tracking applications due to its inherent processing latency.
