Standard Audio Level-Or MK2 Dual Limiter

The Standard Audio Level-Or MK2 Dual Limiter combines a two channel limited with harmonic distortion generator to create a unique studio device that not only provides clean and quiet - accurate leveling control, but also add tone shaping that enhances your audio (whether on buss or total mix).

The Standard Audio Level-Or MK2 Dual Limiter at it's core, is a JFET transistor-based limiter, originally inspired by the Level-Loc PA limiter. In Level mode, this section acts as an extremely high ratio limiter. In Crunch mode, this section uses (and abuses) a series of Class A discrete transistor stages to provide anything from subtle harmonic enhancement to complete destruction of the audio signal. The Level-Or Mk2 Dual includes all the features and improvements of the Mk2 500-series module (lower noise, bypass switch, instrument DI) PLUS a mix knob, stereo linking, and a unique Cascade Mode. The unit includes an over-designed internal power supply and a rugged, corrosion- resistant steel chassis along with an aluminum front panel.

Recommended Uses:

Smash drum room mics to pull out room sound and add excitement (in stereo!)
Add grit and drive to bass guitar or synth
Blend in crunch mode with Mix knob to add extra character to vocals
Add weight and attitude to close drum mics and acoustic instruments
Process stereo busses directly using mix knob to dial in just the right amount of character
Use in cascade mode on mono sources to unlock unique serial processing
