.2 Graph Display and Controls Section

This section consists of the main display and controls for Separation, Xover, Solo, Gain, Priority,
Release, and Master Release.
Gain and Priority can be adjusted independently, or together, using the Link control. All parameter
settings can be controlled by direct numerical entry into value windows, or by using the graphic display
band markers.

To use these controls effectively, you need some understanding of the L3-LL’s internal logic. Like a
wideband limiter, the L3-LL applies attenuation only when the threshold is exceeded; unlike a wideband
limiter, it does not apply the same amount of attenuation over the whole spectrum. Rather, it applies
more attenuation to bands that contain signals with higher peaks. This creates less inter-modulation
distortion, and retains more detail from the input signal.
Raising a band’s Gain against the limiter’s threshold results in more limiting being applied to that band.
Priority allows you to control the amount of limiting applied to each band. Higher Priority results in less
limiting (in relation to other bands), while lower Priority results in more limiting. Typically, Gain and
Priority controls are adjusted together using the Link control, so that the Priority creates the necessary
headroom for Gain to take place. However, it’s important to note that controlling the Gain and Priority
separately can actually lead to very interesting and widely diverse sonic results.
