2. Therefore, in addition, you should also use the ULTRAMIZER function. It is recommended that the com-

pression is limited to the first 6 dB of the dynamic range only. You can monitor the gain reduction with the

help of the GR LO and GR HI gain reduction meters.

The cut signal peaks cause a reduced recording level of about 6 dB, which is visible on the level indicators of

the DAT recorder. Now increase the recording level of the recorder back to normal. The result is a louder

recording without any loss of sound.

3.3 The ULTRAMIZER PRO as a protective device

Sound system distortion is usually a result of amplifiers and loudspeakers being driven beyond their

limitations, whereby signals are hard limited by so-called clipping of the amplifiers. The signal peaks are

thereby clipped because the maximum output voltage is reached, which leads to unpleasant and dangerous

distortions.
Apart from the danger of long term overload a loudspeaker can also be damaged by an occasional high level

overload, e.g. the sound of a microphone falling onto a hard floor. In order to protect a system or the loudspeak-

ers, the application of the BEHRINGER ULTRAMIZER PRO is recommended. Conventional limiters must

restrict the maximum output level far below the clip-point of the amplifier, in order to limit the height and

duration of overloading transients. This has the disadvantage that the power reserve of the system cannot be

fully exploited.
