The L2 Ultramaximizer plug-in is built around a proprietary brick wall look-ahead peak limiter algorithm designed to deliver precise and transparent limiting. This core technology ensures that audio peaks are controlled effectively without compromising the original sound's clarity and dynamics. Enhanced with Waves IDR dithering technology featuring ninth-order noise shaping, the plug-in maintains audio fidelity even when reducing bit depth.

With 48-bit internal processing, the L2 Ultramaximizer offers exceptional headroom and precision during audio handling. It supports high-quality re-quantization to multiple bit depths including 24, 22, 20, 18, and 16-bit outputs, making it suitable for a wide range of mastering and final output needs. The plug-in also incorporates Waves ARC (Auto Release Control) technology, which optimizes the release time automatically to produce smooth and natural sound transitions.

Designed exclusively for stereo use, the L2 Ultramaximizer balances powerful peak limiting with meticulous dithering and noise shaping to ensure a polished final sound. Its dual precision 48-bit fixed-point processing guarantees true 24-bit dithered output with minimal artifacts, making it an essential tool for mastering engineers seeking clarity and loudness without distortion.
