The new MXneo limiter is a significant upgrade to Orban’s MX Limiting technology in its Optimod 5950 and 5950 HD processors, according to the company.
“The upgrade retains the punch and loudness performance of MX with substantial improvements in distortion behavior,” it said.
For contemporary material such as pop, rock and similar formats, it significantly reduces audible midrange distortion that could occur with harder-driven processing.
“It also improves HF distortion performance, particularly on material with a high amount of high-frequency harmonic content relative to its upper-midrange energy.”
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 advantage of the new capabilities.
For users requiring clarity and transparency, MXneo includes a dedicated Classical Music Mode. This deliberately bypasses processing elements related to punch and density, further minimizing the possibility of audible distortion for formats with highly dynamic material.
MXneo is offered as a complimentary upgrade to Optimod 5950 and 5950 HD users, available via download from Orban.
