Final Stage
This final section of the processor is where the final look-ahead peak limiter
and bass soft clipper are adjusted. The look-ahead limiters are wideband,
limited to 6dB of gain reduction, are extremely fast, and due to their
look-ahead nature are virtually transparent even at full gain reduction. Their
purpose is to control any peaks that make it through the multiband section.
Adjustable parameters are:
• Final Limiter Drive: -6 dB to +6 dB (default: -5 dB)
Sets the level at which the wideband sum of all bands is fed to the final
limiter.
• Output Level: -36 dB to 0 dB (default: -11 dB)
Sets the output level for the current preset. Can be used to match the
measured loudness of one preset to another. This is useful as more
aggressive presets will measure differently from less aggressive versions.
Note: With TV 5B Gen selected and normal dialog-based programming applied,
loudness will measure approximately -24 LKFS.
