Waves

The L3-16 Multimaximizer is a 16-band auto-summing peak limiter featuring a patent-pending Peak Limiting Mixer engine that intelligently distributes attenuation across frequency bands to minimize inter-modulation distortion while maximizing loudness. It combines linear phase paragraphic EQ controls with multiband limiting, offering a wide range of sonic characters through its Release Character system and enhanced audio resolution via IDR processing.
