The core of the limiter is its extremely versatile set of modes. You will find the right limiting for every application and every genre:
The Transparent mode is designed for relaxed limiting. Distortion is avoided by restricting the possible loudness. This way, it is very easy to use and extremely versatile.
The Hard mode takes action more intensely for maximum loudness. Especially when dealing with strong transients, this provides a punchy sound.
The Electronic mode is ideal for electronic and bass-driven music. It produces maximum impact without interfering artefacts.
In addition, you will find the award-winning V1 modes Fast, Med & Slow. This makes the IQ-Series Limiter V2 fully downward compatible.
Innovative user interface
Shape the limiter’s sound by simply using the XY pad, without worrying about countless technical parameters.
Moving on one axis, you can change the sound more towards clipping. Adding more harmonics results in a squarer visualization.
The other axis softens the sound and modifies it towards “musical pumping”. Here, too, the visualization in the background provides you with visual control.
By combining the two parameters in the XY pad, you can quickly achieve the optimal setting for your production – from perfectly transparent to extremely heavy or somewhere in between.
