    Features Features The limiter is ideal to protect sensitive amplifier inputs against overloading. The digital signal processors reduce the dynamics of the input signal by an adjustable value. Both stereo chan‐ nels are processed interdependently and compressed by the same ratio. The channel with the higher dynamic controls both channels.
