Introduction
Professional Stereo Brick Wall Audio Limiter
The Newhank Level One is a small size, easy to use, low cost stereo
limiter. The input control for left and right can be adjusted separately
and the limiting levels is adjusted for left and right together.
Level One is the solution for bars , restaurants and small clubs that
have to deal with (low) level restrictions and don't want to loose the
audio quality, or rental companies that want to protect their equipment
Where most limiters compress or change the sound, Level One is
keeping the sound alive, even at low levels and/or operating full in limit.
After adjustments are set
Level One can be sealed or pad locked.
