L2 can significantly increase the average signal level of typical audio signals without introducing audible side effects. It's superb for mastering, mixing, and recording, but equally capable of extreme limiting, intentional pumping, and vintage dynamic processing effects.
L2's Increased Digital Resolution wordlength reduction system features ninth-order noise shaping which can increase the perceived sound by as much as 18dB. For example, when you start with original sources of 20 bits or more,16 and 20 bit masters may have the perceived sound quality of 19 and 23 bit signals.
