dont have this thing but my converters have this kind of thing built in and I can say if you record rock onto digital its a GREAT feature to have soft limiting on the input of converters..

thanks, i followed the link. 4 pages of people talking about something they have never heard. hypothesizing on one person's account.
beard- you seem to like the idea? what gear are you using that does this?

i'm summing from the folcrom to 2 really old api 312s (6 packed by brent) to the masterlink. i'm not into the limiter on the masterlink and want to send higher levels to it. i thought this would prevent clipping. i love the sound i'm getting, i just want some more.
any thoughts?
thanks

looks like it's worth domo-ing for your purposes. what i should have said is it looks to be easy to reverse engineer if it's any good.

i see what you mean, scott.
good point.

I mean I never heard the prism thingies..but it sounds like they might help you get your levels louder..

On my Lavry ADs there is a soft limiting fuction, analog saturation and digital saturation, and flat..it compresses and soft limits going in and makes the dynamic rage compressed like 3 or 6db or something like that and then limits too..it just kind of even things out but doesnt sound coloured or over done..just nice and strong and evens out playing and stuff..I like it a lot on the input of the converters there..not realy the same thing your doing but sort of..

I'm sure merc will let you return them if your not 100% happy with the prism contraption..make sure they are cool with that first though..worth a try imho..

thanks b-o-b my next question was coloration, you touched on that. i would have to hear it for myself, but based on what we know about the circuitry do you (or scott or anyone) think much of a sonic stamp would be imposed. that would not be something i would be looking for, although if it's a cool sounding stamp i'd buy it.
again, my ears would do the talking.
good idea about double checking about the return policy.
thanks,

on the prism thingie I would guess it to be uncoloured..but i dunno for sure..
