A symbol, such as + or -, used to include or exclude search items For example, if you search for ham +eggs, you would look for documents which have both words or just eggs (the + in front of eggs means eggs must be included); ham eggs-seuss would look for documents with both words, but no mention of Dr Seuss (the - in front of seuss means exclude Dr Seuss)
Gan's limiter was the only one shown A small device visible at the crown of the head and linked into the brain to cause intense pain whenever the victim becomes angry enough to kill
(electronics) an nonlinear electronic circuit whose output is limited in amplitude; used to limit the instantaneous amplitude of a waveform (to clip off the peaks of a waveform); "a limiter introduces amplitude distortion"
A device that electronically controls or "limits" the peak levels of program material Line Level: A signal whose voltage is between approximately 0 310 volts and 10 volts across a load of 600 ohms or greater Load: Any device to which power is delivered Low Pass Filter: A circuit that discriminates between high and low frequencies and allows only the low frequencies to pass
An effect that sets a maximum output level If a signal is limited, once the limiter's threshold level is reached, increased input won't result in increased output See Gadgets & Gizmos, July/Aug '93
A compressor set to a ratio of 10: 1 or greater This has the effect of preventing all but the fastest signals from exceeding the threshold volume, thus forcing them into the desired level range
A limiter is a dynamics processor very similar to a compressor In fact, many compressors are capable of acting as limiters when set up properly The primary difference is the ratio used in reducing gain In a limiter, this ratio is set up to be as close to infinity: 1 as possible (no matter how much the input signal changes, the output level should remain pretty much constant) The idea is that a limiter establishes a maximum gain setting, and prevents signals from getting any louder than that setting
A dynamics processor that limits or prevents signals from peaking above a specified amplitude level A limiter works by compressing all sounds that peak above a specified threshold point The average levels of your sound files can be raised several dB beyond the regular normalization level by using a limiter to compress the highest volume peaks Using simple normalization alone to maximize the dynamic range has limitations Because the normalization process simply calculates the available headroom, you are limited by the proximity of the loudest peak to the maximum cut-off point
In wireless microphones, a transmitter audio circuit that acts to limit the maximum modulation (deviation) of the transmitter in order to meet government regulations In audio, a device that limits the maximum voltage or power to some preset value to protect speakers or other equipment
