Waves L2 Ultramaximizer Mastering Limiter - (PROFESSIONALLY REFURBISHED)

Description

Waves L2 UltraMaximizer in very good condition.  Simply put, this unit has the amazing ability to limit only the frequencies that overshoot the threshold, while offering excellent A/D & D/A plus bitrate conversion and IDR.  I/O is stereo analog on 1/4" and XLR, plus S/Pdif and AES/EBU. Works perfectly. This is a 2 space rack unit.
The Waves L2 Ultramaximizer provides high-quality 24-bit A-D/D-A conversion at sample rates from 44.1 to 96k and bit depths of 16-24, dither and noise shaping called IDR, and digital look-ahead limiting. The front panel has a series of switches on the left which allow selection between analog, S/P-DIF, or AES input sources, sync source (external, internal, or digital), 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 sample rates, and the various quantization, dither and noise shaping options.
To the right of the selection switches are the L/R trim knobs, allowing adjustment of input gain for each channel independently from -10 to +10dB. Next comes the Threshold dials, which are detented, as are the Out Ceiling controls and the Attenuation Release controls. Each of those controls has a bright LED next to it that shows the current parameter status. Further to the right is the ARC Auto Release switch. The Left and Right channels can be linked by pressing a switch, and there is also a bypass switch and a peak reset switch. The only thing missing on the front panel is a power switch, which is located on the back panel. I would have preferred the power switch on the front, but that is a minor quibble.
The back panel sports XLR and TRS analog in/out, as well as AES and S/P-DIF digital in/out, a word clock input on BNC connector, and the power switch.
