Key specs

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)
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
100% analog signal path
intelligent and manual release
variable mix between limiting and clipping
possibility to turn off the clipping section, so you can clip with you favourite AD or other.
Two colour modules introducing different saturation that can be used simultaneously
Colour 1 with Majority of odd harmonics
Colour 2 with Majority of even harmonics
Both colour sections can be internally EQed so for example you can present more odd harmonics in the low end to give the mix more bite and sweeten the highs with the even harmonics at the top end.
Input, output and reduction
Analog style meters (VU, PPM, RMS, Peak with peak hold functionality)
LUFS (Short term, Integral, Loudness Range, view in time)
K metering
30 Band FFT analyser
Goniometer
Correlation meter
Two points of measurement, the output of the Limiter or the plugin

DARTHLIMITER

Whats New?

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:

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.

The front panel of the Bettermaker Darthlimiter is build around big LCD touchscreen, that allows you to control almost all functions available in the device. Apart from that, you can also monitor input/output levels, amount of gain reduction (and clipping) applied by the limiter, perform advanced measurements (FFT, LUFS, K-metering), use on-screen QWERTY keyboard for naming your presets and more. You can even display fully configurable, analog style VU meters!

Main Features

Bettermaker Darthlimiter has 3 functionalities that are essential to make a perfect master. All of them are recallable by the internal memory and a plugin that also handles automation.

Colour, for giving that special flavour to your mix:
