have two levels of dynamic protection on its outputs – a traditional program limiter, and a newly
introduced “D-Max” limiter.
Program Limiter
High performance digital limiters are provided for each output with control over attack time, release time and threshold
parameters - see page 44 for details. This level of control allows the user to balance the required subjective quality of the
limiter against the driver protection requirements. It does also mean that an incorrectly set limiter may sound awful! In
particular, as with all limiters, using too fast an attack or release time will result in excessive low frequency distortion. In
the Design a Crossover

Design a Crossover sub-menu there is an option for automatic limiter time constants. Use this option if you
are unsure how to set the time constants manually. XTA recommend the use of the automatic setting.
In this mode the time constants will be automatically set from the High-Pass filter frequency according to the table below.
The time constants are set by the high pass filter frequency for that channel.
