This ultra-transparent inter-sample peak limiter ensures your mixes hit the perfect loudness without sacrificing their dynamic essence, making it a stealth weapon in any producer's arsenal.

Moreover, its unity gain monitoring function allows you to compare processed and raw audio seamlessly, ensuring that the "louder is better" trap is a non-issue.

In addition, the Stealth Limiter features a 22Hz infrasonic filter to eliminate unwanted sub-bass frequencies, optimizing your final mix. This makes it an invaluable tool for modern music production, where tracks often traverse various playback systems and compressed formats.
