The Bettermaker Darthlimiter is rated as one of the best limiters available with many rating it over the newer Limiter V2 (see audio Animals)

Mine has been racked and kept in a smoke free studio. Comes with original Box and power.

If you’re here you probably already know about the quality of this gear and its ability to help you get louder out of the box. Extra info below

What's NEW?

- limited front panel with black frame and knobs

- new capacitive touchscreen with improved contrast and viewing angle 

- improved audio path for lower noise and better dynamic range (Burr-Brown(TM) OPA1656 in audio path)

​

The sound of the limiter is of course based on the quality of its hardware design. But all the control and user interactions are performed in the digital domain. This allows us to incorporate options and possibilities not found in any standard analog limiter:
– Save and recall presets
– Instant reset of all parameters
– Rapid, precise and repeatable adjustments
– Precisely linked stereo operation with the ease of a single control
– DAW automation

– Comprehensive metering operations based on high quality A/D conversion and DSP

​

Great care and thought went into the development and implementation of the analog section of the Bettermaker Darthlimiter. High quality capacitors and low noise op-amps are used in the analog path. Relays were used, whenever creating the shortest path for the audio signal was necessary.

All these modules are controlled by the digital section of the Bettermaker Darthlimiter, so no mechanical switches or knobs are required to adjust any of the parameters.

Digital Section

The digital section of the Bettermaker Darthlimiter is based around two high speed, 32- bit micro-controllers, with dedicated firmware programmed into their memory (with the possibility of updating the firmware via USB connection). One of them is responsible for controlling the VCA limiter, when the other watches over the user interface, presets management, audio measurement, USB connectivity and other Bettermaker Darthlimiter functions.

The use of separate ground planes for analog and digital section results in perfect noise isolation between these two worlds. The linear power supply was used instead the switching one to improve the sonic qualities even further
