5 Series “D-Max” limiter pre-delays the sidechain signal, resulting in a “zero overshoot” limiter, which is able to
catch all peaks and provide a reliable absolute maximum setting for the output of any channel.
The pre-delayed sidechain is shown in green, with the main signal
in red. As the main signal arrives slightly after the sidechain, the
output from the unit does not suffer from the overshoot
problem.
Remember that this delay is only in the order of tens of
microseconds,and is a pre-delay – the sidechain is moved back
in time in relation to the main signal. Inserting a delay into the
main signal path of an analogue dynamics processor will achieve
similar results, but with the penalty of delaying the main signal by
the amount of look ahead delay introduced.
The “D-Max” limiter which appears in output lists just following the traditional limiter, has only two parameters to adjust:
