The ML8000 Advanced Limiter represents a new standard in limiter technology by employing two distinct processing stages for enhanced peak level control. Its first stage features an 8-band multi-band limiter that offers superior phase response compared to traditional crossover methods. Each band can be independently adjusted with gain and threshold controls, allowing precise shaping of the audio signal. Additional parameters like release time and limiter modes provide flexibility, while a specialized focus mode subtly alters how each band manages the incoming signal.

Following the multi-band processing, the ML8000 applies a master limiter stage that faithfully recreates the patented algorithm from its predecessor, ensuring consistent and reliable limiting performance. This stage includes refined filter designs that help minimize peak distortion, preserving the integrity of the original sound. The combination of these two stages ensures transparent and effective limiting suitable for professional audio production environments.

The interface offers intuitive control with a response plot, large gain faders, and threshold markers aligned with each band's input meter, making adjustments straightforward. Users can link bands, solo individual bands, or monitor key inputs to tailor the limiting process precisely. Visual feedback and comprehensive metering further enhance usability, making the ML8000 an excellent tool for mastering and mixing tasks that demand high-quality peak control with low latency.
