LM-2Z is a limiter inspired by the design and sound characteristics of classic hardware analog limiters that utilize Zener diodes. It functions by controlling signal peaks and overloads, effectively increasing loudness without compromising audio quality. Unlike traditional digital brickwall limiters, LM-2Z delivers a smoother, more transparent sound with a liquid and airy character, minimizing distortion and unwanted artifacts commonly found in digital counterparts.

While analog limiters may sometimes allow peaks to pass or cause output clipping due to their less precise nature, LM-2Z incorporates a refined algorithm that strictly prevents the signal from exceeding the set output level. This fusion of analog-style warmth with digital precision ensures reliable peak control and preserves the integrity of your audio. The plugin is designed to maintain the desirable sonic traits of analog limiters while offering the accuracy needed in modern mixing environments.

LM-2Z is well suited for use as a mixing limiter on individual channels. It includes controls such as a limiter amount knob for adjusting the overall limiting effect, a bass cut knob to remove deep sub-bass frequencies that might cause distortion, a time constant knob to set the limiter's attack and release timing, and an output volume knob to manage final signal level. These features provide flexibility, allowing users to tailor the limiting process to their specific mix needs.
