Pristine Peaks IE

Ultra-Low Distortion Peak Limiter - Immersive Edition

Pristine Peaks IE is a specialized version of the stereo Pristine Peaks limiter, designed for multi-channel surround and immersive audio applications. It serves as an ultra-low distortion peak limiter for both mixing and mastering, supporting up to 12 channels of audio ranging from mono to 7.1.4 channel-based tracks and buses. Not limited to peak control, Pristine Peaks IE functions as a multi-channel editing tool, allowing level trimming, muting, and individual channel extraction within a multi-channel audio stream. It employs a unique dynamics control approach that ensures a clean sound without distortion even at high gain reduction levels, avoiding saturation or clipping by applying gain changes to the entire waveform.

Pristine Peaks IE stands out as the preferred limiter for video and multi-channel music production applications demanding pristine, high-quality limiting without the risk of saturation or clipping in the source material. It's essential to note that Pristine Peaks IE necessitates a substantial amount of latency to perform optimally, making it unsuitable for live or tracking applications.
