Orban has released an upgrade to the MX Limiting feature in its Optimod 5950 and 5950 HD processors.
“The upgrade retains the ‘punch’ and loudness performance of MX with substantial improvements in distortion behavior,” it said in the release.
The upgrade is called MXneo. It will be offered as a free upgrade to 5950 and 5950 HD users, available soon via download from Orban.
“For contemporary material such as pop, rock and similar formats, MXneo significantly reduces audible midrange distortion that could occur with harder-driven processing,” Orban states.
“It also improves HF distortion performance, particularly on material with a high amount of high-frequency harmonic content relative to its upper-midrange energy.”
It said users can shape the trade-off between distortion, loudness, punch and HF energy, parameters that were previously fixed within the MX algorithm.
“Factory presets for MX limiting have also been recalibrated to take full advantage of the new capabilities.”
MXneo includes a dedicated Classical Music Mode that bypasses processing elements related to punch and density.
