DSP 260
Owner‘s Manual 29
Limiter threshold values are determined by the amplifiers and
loudspeakers that are used in the system. One important
consideration in setting the limiter threshold value is the input
sensitivity and gain of the connected amplifiers. Because
different amplifiers can have different sensitivities, it is common
to need to calculate the limiter offset to a factory preset based
on the amplifier sensitivity. The DSP 260 offers a unique
solution to this problem with the Amp parameter. All DSP 260
Factory Presets include limiter threshold values. You may use
the Amp parameter to select the model of Dynacord amplifier
that you are using and the limiter threshold offset will be
automatically calculated based on the amplifier gain and
sensitivity. When an amplifier is selected from the list, the
actual Threshold parameter will be locked to ensure that
proper settings are maintained. It is very important to ensure that the proper amplifier is selected from the
list, as an improper selection can result in incorrect Limiter settings for your system and may result in
system damage. If a non-Dynacord amplifier is used in the system, selecting “Other” from the amp list will
allow the Threshold setting to be directly edited, however, the amplifier documentation should be consulted
so you can calculate you limiter offset (if any) as needed. The Amp parameter is only available when using
a Factory Preset.
