Loudness Maximizer Eight
Loudness Maximizer Eight is an eight-channel surround version of the stereo VPI.
It can be linked on all eight channels for maintaining a perfect balance. Up to four linkable groups can be created. For example, you can build separate groups to control the front and surround speakers, while maintaining independent control of the LFE.
As in the stereo version, a unique audition function provides a "unity gain" structure through the VPI - facilitating parameter settings for the most transparent sound possible. This feature allows the processed and un-processed signals to be A/B'd with out the loudness increase associated with using the Loudness Maximizer. As a result, focusing on the differences in the spectral, timbral and dynamics components of the processed sound is greatly simplified.
The Loudness Maximizer is simple to use, versatile and extremely effective in the transparent gain control of surround program material at 24 bit / 96 kHz.
