Disable up-conversion when transmitting 5.1 feature films, leaving only loudness control and limiting in the signal path. The 48 bit processing capability of the DB-4 DB-8 ensures pristine audio quality under all conditions..
Loudness Control Inconsistent audio levels are the number one source of viewer irritations. The true loudness leveling tools provided with the DB-4 and DB-8 take care of these complaints. No more loud commercials, but a consistent audio level true to the viewers perception will satisfy the high demands of today’s viewer.
Peak Control Intersample accurate limiting allows very tight peak control and maximum audio quality from lossy compression codecs. Distortion canceling and limiting techniques keep distortion to an absolute minimum allowing the DB-4 and DB-8 to deliver clean crisp audio.
