  2. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    One compressor generally stabilizes the dynamic range while the other aggressively compresses stronger peaks. This is the normal internal signal routing in common combination devices marketed as compressor-limiters, where an RMS compressor (for general gain control) is followed by a fast peak-sensing limiter (for overload protection). Done ...

  3. Limit switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_switch

    A limit switch with a roller-lever operator; this is installed on a gate on a canal lock, and indicates the position of a gate to a control system A limit switch mounted on a moving part of a bridge. In electrical engineering, a limit switch is a switch operated by the motion of a machine part or the presence of an object.

  4. Limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiter

    Limiting can refer to a range of treatments designed to limit the maximum level of a signal. Treatments in order of decreasing severity range from clipping, in which a signal is passed through normally but sheared off when it would normally exceed a certain threshold; soft clipping which squashes peaks instead of shearing them; a hard limiter, a type of variable-gain audio level compression ...

  5. 1176 Peak Limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1176_Peak_Limiter

    The way the 1176 sounds, and specifically, the way all-button mode sounds, is partially due to its being a program dependent compressor. The attack and release are program dependent, as is the ratio. The 1176 will faithfully compress or limit at the selected ratio for transients, but the ratio will always increase a bit after the transient.

  6. Governor (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_(device)

    A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven by the machine output shaft to regulate its speed by altering the input flow ...

  7. Flow limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_limiter

    A flow limiter or flow restrictor is a device to restrict the flow of a fluid, in general a gas or a liquid. [1] Some designs use single stage or multi-stage orifice plates to handle high and low flow rates. Flow limiters are often used in manufacturing plants as well as households. Safety is usually the main purpose of using a flow limiter.

  8. Compressor station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_station

    Mobile compressor station produced by the Ufa Compressor Factory on a KamAZ-63501 chassis. There are three commonly used types of engines that drive the compressors and are known as "prime movers": [3] Gas turbine / Centrifugal Compressor uses a natural gas-fired turbine to turn a centrifugal compressor. The centrifugal compressor is similar to ...

  9. Solid State Logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_State_Logic

    Most notably, the E Series introduced the ability to save and recall mixer settings, and was the first mixer to feature a compressor/gate on every channel as well as the master bus compressor. [6] SSL introduced the SL 4000 G Series at the AES New York Convention in 1987, which again offered a redesigned EQ, among other improvements.
