  Hi R.I.K.
  

  Hello, Just wondering what the \"Brick wall\" plus version is all about ?

  Not sure what information you are needing.
  Here are some quotes from wikipedia about limiting, brickwall.
  
  

  A limiter is a compressor with a higher ratio, and generally a fast attack time.

  
  

  Brick wall limiting has a very high ratio and a very fast attack time. Ideally, this ensures that an audio signal never exceeds the amplitude of the threshold. Ratios of 20:1 all the way up to ∞:1 are considered to be 'brick wall'.[6] The sonic results of more than momentary and infrequent hard/brick-wall limiting are usually characterized as harsh and unpleasant; thus it is more appropriate as a safety device in live sound and broadcast applications than as a sound-sculpting tool.

  Therefore no matter how \"loud\" you turn up your inputs, nothing gets though the \"set level\" or \"audio signal never exceeds the amplitude of the threshold.\" thus it is a \"brickwall\"
