  "term": "Brick-wall limiter",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An audio processing device or algorithm that prevents any signal peaks from exceeding a predefined maximum amplitude level, effectively creating an absolute ceiling. Unlike a compressor, it does not allow any signal to pass above the threshold, resulting in a very hard clipping effect if the signal is too strong. This is often used in mastering to prevent digital clipping.",
