Aphex Dominator II 720 2 Channel Multiband Limiter Excellent Condition

I used this Aphex Dominator II 720 in a home recording environment which is why it’s in excellent condition. It ships complete with the power cable and original owner’s manual.

The Aphex 720 Dominator II is a stereo multiband brick wall peak limiter with zero overshoot. Once the peak ceiling is set, there is no higher amplitude in the output. As a peak overshoot protection limiter, the Dominator II is undetectable in line while it absolutely prevents peak levels from exceeding a user settable output level. The result is greater audio density and increased punch without the high frequency loss or “dullness” commonly found in other limiters. Awareness to not exceed headroom limitations is critical for most audio applications, especially in the digital realm.

Most limiters use wideband processing which results in one frequency area controlling the level of the entire frequency spectrum. An example is a vocal track being tucked down whenever a kick drum hits. Since most energy is contained in the lower frequencies, these low frequencies tend to control the level of the entire program.

The Aphex Dominator II’s multiband processing solves these problems by splitting the audio into multiple frequency bands and processing each band separately. The Dominator II uses program dependent, intelligent circuits to quickly and easily shape the sound while delivering very effective limiting.

The exceptional performance of the Dominator II makes it at home in the recording studio, sound reinforcement, and broadcast studios worldwide.
