With an infinite compression ratio, hard limiting results,
an effect that can sometimes be harsh to the ear, because right
at the threshold level, any more input increase yields no more
output level. See Figure 3.

In between 2 e r o compression and infinite compression is a
continuously variable compression ratio with typical response
patterns as shown in Figure 4.
