limiter
This term describes a hard ceiling or a restrictive boundary, whether mechanical or electronic. It carries a connotation of safety, control, and prevention, implying that once a specific threshold is reached, the system actively stops further increase to prevent damage or illegality.
In audio engineering, the term is highly technical and refers to a specific type of compressor with a very high ratio. It is used to shave off the highest peaks of a waveform, ensuring the signal remains within a safe range without clipping or distorting the output.
