LAAL (Look Ahead Analog Limiter)

The Hum Audio LAAL Look Ahead Analogue Limiter is a dual-channel, 100% analogue limiter with a unique lookahead detection system, dynamic transient function and Stereo width control.

The Hum Audio LAAL works by adding a 200 microseconds delay line into the analogue audio circuitry to create a unique lookahead ability. This delay line enables the detection circuit to react to the fastest peaks, providing effective peak limiting in the analogue domain.

The Look Ahead Analogue Limiter also includes a dynamic transient function that restores transients proportionally to the limiting level. This allows for great RMS levels with minimum side effects.

Finally, the LAAL includes a variable Stereo width circuit that lets you widen the mix in a more musical manner than traditional designs.
