The Aphex Dominator II is a unique, two-channel, high-performance peak limiter that utilizes a patented multiband processing design. Unlike traditional full-band limiters which can introduce pumping artifacts or distortion, the Dominator II splits the audio signal into two frequency bands before processing them separately. This allows the unit to apply aggressive limiting to loud peaks within a specific frequency range (e.g., strong bass hits) without affecting the dynamics of the rest of the audio spectrum. The result is a loud, dynamic signal without unwanted side effects. The unit features comprehensive controls for input drive, output level, and linking, making it a critical tool for maintaining consistent, high-impact audio levels while protecting downstream equipment from excessive peaks. Housed in a robust 1U rackmount chassis, it is engineered for reliable professional use. Read more
