  2. 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 ...

  3. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    A limiter is a compressor with a high ratio and, generally, a short attack time. Compression is used to improve performance and clarity in public address systems, as an effect and to improve consistency in mixing and mastering. It is used on voice to reduce sibilance and in broadcasting and advertising to make an audio program stand out.

  4. 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.

  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.

  9. Effects unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_unit

    A compressor is often used to stabilize volume and alter the sound of a note's attack. With extreme settings of its controls, a compressor can function as a limiter. [68] Compressor effects: Keeley Compressor, MXR Dyna Comp, Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer.
