Aphex Systems Dominator II 720 User Manual

™

The Dominator II from Aphex Systems is a stereo multiband peak limiter designed to fit
a wide range of applications. Through the use of multiband techniques along with new
proprietary circuits, the audibility of limiting action has been greatly reduced, especially
when compared to conventional limiters. This means that greater limiting depth is
possible, resulting in higher loudness with maintained audio quality. At virtually any
limiting depth, the Dominator II is free of “hole punching”, “dullness”, and most other
effects normally associated with limiters. As a peak overshoot protection limiter, the
Dominator II is undetectable in line while it absolutely prevents peak levels from
exceeding a user settable output level. In addition, the desired limiting effects of
greater audio density and increased “punch” are readily available with the Dominator II.
