Limiting
Description This display allows you to adjust limiting parameters that allow for loudspeaker driver protection for each output channel.
Available Controls To access Limiting, use the rotary encoder dial from the DSP menu to highlight, then press to select.
Navigation Soft Key: Back to DSP menu.
Menu Soft Key #5: Enables the selection of the output channel (or output groupings) using the rotary encoder dial.
Menu Soft Key #1: Enables the selection of a peak voltage value, which corresponds to the maximum voltage that may be applied to the driver
without causing over-excursion. Use the rotary encoder to adjust the selected parameter.
Menu Soft Key #2: Enables the selection of an RMS voltage threshold value, which works in conjunction with the subsequent attack and release
values. The RMS voltage setting corresponds to the long-term power handling capability of the loudspeaker. Use the rotary encoder to adjust the
selected parameter.
Menu Soft Key #3: Enables the selection of attack time, in milliseconds, related to the RMS limiter. Use the rotary encoder to adjust the selected
parameter.
Menu Soft Key #4: Enables the selection of release time, in milliseconds, related to the RMS limiter. Use the rotary encoder to adjust the selected
parameter.
Options PEAK: 0.5 to 200 Volts (dependant on output mode), 0.5 V increments
RMS: 0.5 to 100 Volts (dependant on output mode), 0.5 V increments
ATTACK: From 500 to 10,000 milliseconds
RELEASE: From 500 to 10,000 milliseconds
