With its legendary combination of look-ahead brickwall peak limiting, level maximization, and ultra-high resolution, the L2 has become a mainstay in mastering and mixing chains in studios everywhere. And for delivering mastered audio, the advanced output dithering algorithms and noise shaping make it easier than ever to convert audio to lower bit depths.
Engineered for mastering, with a stereo-only format, the L2’s ease of use, sonic clarity, optimized release times, effective peak limiting, and streamlined user interface are in a class by themselves.
Effortless Workflow
Optimization for bus applications simplifies the control set to Threshold, Output Ceiling, Release, and dither settings. Control the peaks with Ceiling, and raise the output level with Threshold. Simple—and it gets the job done.
The Secret of Shaping
The L2’s superior noise shaping comes from 48-bit, double-precision, ninth-order noise-shaping algorithms. Choose Moderate, Normal, or Ultra to suit program material from delicate acoustic sounds to hard rock.
High-Resolution Ready
With more studios using 32-bit and higher file resolutions, conversion to standard 24-bit files is now as important as 16-bit conversion was to CDs. For older digital formats, the L2 also converts to 20- and 22-bit files.
