Also known as

L3-16 Multimaximizer

What it does

  • A 16-band maximizer that joins paragraphic EQ and dynamics, with linear-phase crossovers.
  • The display shows three curves per band: attenuation, EQ and priority.
  • 21 release characters, auto-release and 3 band slopes.
  • Each band uses a bell or shelf stage, and a priority option keeps key elements from being masked.
  • Includes dithering, noise shaping and 38 presets, plus the L3 Multi, Ultra and L3-LL plugins.
