Audio Limiter
for DVD
Published in issue 312, July 2002
Those of you who are lucky enough to possess a DVD player and have watched a movie with lots of special effects, will certainly have noticed that the dynamic range of the audio can be very extreme. So much so that during normal use it is desirable to take steps in the form of an automatic volume limiter. If the DVD player is connected to an audio installation, then it is, in principle, not difficult to install such a limiter between the player and the audio system. It is important, of course, that the limiter does not introduce any distortion.
