The L3-16 Multimaximizer is a powerful 16-band peak limiter designed to deliver maximum loudness with precise control. It features a built-in linear phase equalizer and employs linear phase filtering throughout its crossover network, ensuring the audio remains free of phase distortion when bands are recombined. This advanced processing maintains the integrity of the sound while providing clear and punchy results that can range from analog warmth to digital clarity.

At the core of the L3-16 is the innovative PLMixer Peak Limiting Mixer technology, which differs from traditional multi-band limiters by using a single peak limiter to manage all 16 bands simultaneously. This approach uses psychoacoustic principles to intelligently apply attenuation, maximizing headroom and preserving musicality. The system includes a unique 6-band EQ-style interface that controls both gain and priority for each band, allowing for detailed tonal shaping and dynamic adjustment across the spectrum.

Additional features include ARC Automatic Release Control, which automatically adjusts release behavior across the band-split spectrum, and comprehensive metering that visually represents attenuation, gain, and priority envelopes. The L3-16 also incorporates Waves' IDR Increased Digital Resolution technology, offering double-precision processing with advanced noise shaping and dither options to maintain exceptional audio quality at any setting. These capabilities make the L3-16 suitable for mastering and mixing scenarios where clarity, loudness, and transparency are paramount.
