DC-One
Owner‘s Manual 31
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 DC-One offers a unique
solution to this problem with the Amp parameter. All DC-One
Factory Presets include limiter threshold values. You may use
the Amp parameter to select the model of Electro-Voice
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-Electro-Voice 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.
