What is Soft Limit
Soft Limit™ is a superior analog design preventing the digital clipping that causes distortion by instantaneously rounding off transient peaks before they hit the analog-to-digital converter. This technology allows several more decibels of apparent level to be recorded while subtly providing an analog-like warmth to the sound. With Symphony I/O and Maestro 2, there are 4 available settings: -2 dB. -4 dBfs, Soft Saturate and Soft Crush. Each setting possesses its own characteristics for a wide range of versatility in the analog-to-digital conversion process.
