Waves Announces L2 For Digidesign TDM Systems
January 23, 2001WAVES LTD. announced the L2-Ultramaximizer software Audio Processor, for Digidesign's
Pro Tools 24/Mix TDM MacOS systems.
Precisely equivalent to the L2 hardware algorithms, the L2 software provides
TDM users with the convenience of a software PlugIn version. The heart of the
L2 PlugIn is the proprietary brick wall look-ahead peak limiter algorithms and
IDR? (Increased Digital Resolution) dithering technology.
The L2 Ultramaximizer features 48-bit internal processing. The L2 Ultramaximizer
performs high quality re-quantization to 24, 22, 20, 18, and 16-bit outputs, plus
the Waves ARC (Auto Release Control) technology continuously controls the optimal
release time for maximizing levels and minimizing audible distortions. Full 48-bit
fixed point processing (dual-precision) is carried throughout all internal processes
for true 24-bit dithered output. Additional wordlengths include 22, 20, 18, and
16-bit. Current sample rate support is the same as Pro Tools (44.1, 48kHz).
The Waves L2 Ultramaximizer Processor is now available exclusively for Pro
Tools 24|Mix Mac-based systems for a MSRP of $US1200, with no support for Native
based system. Current sample rate support is the same as Pro Tools (44.1, 48kHz). For more information, visit their web site at www.waves.com. |
