• Precise gain reduction without distortion or coloration
• Dedicated HF limiter for high frequency management
• Ideal for increasing loudness while maintaining high audio quality

Maselec MPL-2 is a high-end stereo limiter designed for professional mastering applications with a sophisticated built-in de-esser function. With an advanced design and automatic transient management system, this processor delivers extremely precise and musical dynamic reduction without introducing unwanted distortion or artifacts.

Transparent and precise mastering limiter

The MPL-2 allows you to effectively control signal peaks by increasing the perceived level without compromising sonic integrity. Unlike traditional limiters or soft clippers, it keeps the sound natural and free of coloration even at high levels.

Automatic transient control

The internal system automatically adjusts behavior on transients, eliminating the need for complex adjustments. This ensures consistent performance even with varying dynamic signals, making the workflow faster and more reliable.

De-esser function and built-in HF limiter

The high-frequency limiter is designed to act as a de-esser, reducing sibilance and unwanted content in the high frequencies. It also helps minimize any distortion generated by the wideband limiter.

Advanced gain and dynamics management

The input level control does not reduce dynamic range and can be set to maximum without risk of distortion. Output level is independent of gain, allowing precise signal management without unwanted clipping in audio chains.

Ideal for mastering and professional studios

Thanks to its precision and transparency, the MPL-2 is an essential tool for mastering, broadcast and professional audio production studios, delivering top-notch results on any type of material.
