Questions about PAS
Are PAS limiters true stereo?
Yes, all PAS limiters are designed for true stereo operation, maintaining precise channel balance and phase coherence.
What makes PAS limiters different from other brands?
PAS prioritizes absolute transparency above all else; their algorithms are engineered to be virtually undetectable when engaged, unlike limiters that impart a noticeable sonic signature.
Do PAS limiters offer sidechain capabilities?
Currently, PAS limiters do not include external sidechain input functionality, focusing instead on straightforward, transparent limiting.
