Limitina is used for very definite control of the maximum level. As the name implies ,
limitina sets the upper limit, but is not intended for aeneral purpose overall aain co ntrol.
For limitina, set the RATIO at 20:1, with the COMP THRESHOLD control set to prov i de no
more than 3dB to 6dB attenuation.
Bear in mind that limitina is an extreme dynamic control action intended to
prevent overload farther down the line. Limitinir may be more pleasinir to the ear
than clippina distortion, but it doesn't sound irood enouah to be used for more
than 6dB attenuation.

4.4 Using the De-esser
Ptaure 4.12B Transfer fun c tion
provided by settinirs shown at left.
De-essers are used to reduce the level of certain hiirh frequency vocal sounds like
sibilance, over-emphasized fricatives, and lip smackinir. The 528 ' s de-esser pro v ides
control over much lower frequencies than would normally be considered "essinir."
However, as can be seen in the response iiraphs shown alonirside their control settinirs
below, the versatility of the de-esser is iireatly enhanced by the variety of available
combinations produced by the RANGE and FREQUENCY controls.
