The World.s First Multi Band Auto Summing Limiter

With the L3 Peak Limiter, Waves has once again created an entirely new
category of audio processor.

Like its predecessors, the acclaimed L1 and L2 limiters, the L3 is
destined to become an indispensable tool for professional mixing and
mastering by offering unprecedented control over multi band peak
limiting.

The key to the L3.s power is its patent pending Peak Limiting Mixer.
(PLMixer.) engine. The L3 differs from conventional wide band and
multi band limiters in several ways:

Unlike wide band limiters, the L3 first uses linear phase crossover
filters to divide the audio spectrum into five bands. The PLMixer. then
uses psychoacoustic criteria to intelligently decide how much
attenuation to apply to each band so that all available headroom is
used. The result is that intermodulation is minimized and overall
loudness is maximized, while brick wall limiting is still
maintained.all while retaining the simplicity of a single master
threshold control.

Unlike traditional multi band limiters, the PLMixer. doesn.t require a
wide band peak limiter to catch overshoots generated by individual band
adjustments. Instead, the PLMixer. automatically controls the gain
relationship between the bands.

The L3s Priority control allows the user to control the relative
limiting of each band. This unique control lets users adjust the tonal
character of the L3 over a wide range, while maintaining brick wall
limiting.

The L3 allows a 12dB boost or cut in each band in addition to the
limiting applied to each band. In effect, this feature functions
exactly like a Linear Phase EQ placed before the limiting section of
the L3, making the L3 an all in one final mastering tool.

The L3 features a linear phase crossover which doesnt introduce phase
distortion between the frequency bands. The crossover points are
selectable by the user.


While the technology of the PLMixer. allows the L3 to be
extraordinarily transparent, additional controls allow it to emulate
the color and character of vintage limiters. The Separation control,
for example, adjusts the independence of each band; when set to 0, the
bands do not react separately, and so the L3 functions.and sounds.like
a wide band limiter. The Master Release alters the L3.s Adaptive
Release Control (ARC), offering a Warm, Scaled, Aggressive, and Manual
tonal options in addition to the standard ARC setting.

Rounding out the L3.s feature set is the acclaimed Waves dithering and
noise shaping section, which delivers the highest perceived quality of
sound after quantizing.

The L3 comes in two versions: the Multimaximizer., which includes all
of the features listed above, and the Ultramaximizer. , which uses the
same PLMixer. but offers limited controls. With its transparent
operation, brick wall limiting, extreme tonal range and dithering and
noise shaping control, the L3 can function as a complete mastering
processor.
