Pristine Peaks IE - Ultra-low Distortion Peak Limiter - Immersive Edition

Pristine Peaks IE is a streamlined version of the stereo Pristine Peaks mastering limiter that has been optimized and expanded for multi-channel surround and "immersive audio" applications.

Pristine Peaks IE can support up to 12 channels of audio for use on mono all the way up to 7.1.4 channel-based audio tracks and buses. Each channel can be level-trimmed +/-5dB pre-limiter while their peaks can be trimmed 0 - 10dB below the master Ceiling setting.

Channel Isolate and Bypass controls are also provided to allow channel monitoring and bus separations.

Pristine Peaks IE uses a novel approach to dynamics control that produces a very "clean" sound that does not break up or distort even at high gain reduction amounts. Instead of saturating or clipping waveform peaks, Pristine Peaks IE determines what needs to be done to control the peaks and applies that gain change to the entire waveform. This results in extremely low THD.

Pristine Peaks IE is more than just a limiter! It is a multi-channel editing tool that can be used to trim levels, mute and/or extract individual channels from within a multi-channel audio stream via its Channel Isolate and Drive Trim controls.

Pristine Peaks IE provides the following features:

• Up to 12 channels of independent gain reduction.
• Less than 0.005% THD at any gain reduction amount (20Hz-20kHz)*.
• No aliasing*.
• -10dB to +20dB of pre-limiter global Drive gain.
• +/-5dB channel pre-limiter drive Trims.
• 0 dB to -20dB global Ceiling range.
• 0dB to -10dB channel Ceiling Trims.
• +/-15dB level Output control.
• Choice of two different release slope shapes.
• Peak hold meters that capture the max gain reduction.
• Independent Channel Isolation and Bypass buttons.

*Steady-state measurements.

Pristine Peaks is the ideal limiter of choice for multi-channel video and music production applications where clean, high quality limiting is required without saturation or clipping of the source material.
