Kjaerhus tell us that their new
MPL-1 is a limiter plug-in made for mastering and other
purposes where the highest accuracy and quality are demanded.
The MPL-1
uses an over-sampled peak detecting algorithm to ensure that even high
frequency peaks are accurately detected. Kjaerhus say that this results in better
high-frequency performance and it ensures that no overshoot or clipping
occurs in the final D/A conversion.
Look-ahead and release-smoothing (soft
release-hold) assist in keeping the compression smooth and transparent,
even at high compression levels.
The MPL-1 uses a new stereo linking
technique that allows peaks to be limited individually on each channel,
while longer lasting gain reductions are linked. This technique ensures
that peaks in one channel do not produce artifacts in the other channel,
while the average compression still remains the same in each channel to
avoid disturbances in the stereo balance.
A PDR (Program Dependent Release)
function is available to minimize pumping effect and increase loudness.
The
MPL-1 also offers TPDF-Dithering for 8, 16 and 24 bit output resolution.
Four stereo meters show the peak input- and output levels as well as
compression and RMS-output.
The MPL-1 is available in a standard edition
and professional edition. The pro-edition allows the user to make
adjustments to input levels, PDR, look-ahead, smoothing and stereo-link,
plus offering MIDI-Learn for remote parameter control.
