Output
The Output knob controls the signal level that is output
from the plug-in. The available range is –12 dB to 0 dB.
Note that when Limit is not engaged, it is possible for the
output level to exceed 0 dB. In this case, Output can be
lowered to eliminate any associated clipping.
When Precision Maximizer is used for CD mastering and
it is the last processor in the signal chain, the recom-
mended Output value is –0.10 dB
Output Meter
The stereo peak Output Meter displays the signal level at the out-
put of the plug-in. The displayed range is from –40 dB to 0 dB.
The very top segment of the Output Meter is a clip LED (one each
for the left and right channels) which illuminates when the signal
exceeds 0 dB. The clip segments are held for three seconds be-
fore resetting.
Note:
The Limit function prevents the output signal from exceeding
0 dB. Therefore, the clip LED’s will only illuminate if Limit is off.
Power

This is useful for comparing the processed settings to the
original signal or bypassing the plug-in to reduce the
UAD DSP load (load is not reduced if
Toggle the switch to change the Power state; the UA logo

Note:
You can click-hold the power switch then drag it like a slider to quickly
compare the enabled/disabled state.
