Abstract
A method of instantaneous automatic compression of large signals, called "soft limiting", generates much less harmonic distortion than uncontrolled clipping. If the audible effect of finite-power output (clipping) is prevented, the effect should be the illusion of greater power reserve while reducing manufacturing costs.
