6.8Adjusting the Limiter

A limiter is a compressor with a high slope that is used to prevent a signal exceeding a set decibel level. Limiters are used as safeguards against signal clipping. Limiter parameters are set per channel.


To adjust the limiter settings for a channel:

Step 1On the appliance Web UI’s main page, select DSP.

Step 2Select the Menu button for the channel or select the Menu button for the Output.

Step 3From the drop-down menu, select Limiter.

Note: If you want to return to the factory settings, select the Reset icon that appears in the right corner.

Step 4Adjust the following settings as needed:

RMSTC

Sets how fast the limiter reacts to the above threshold signal. RMSTC range is 50 to 10000.
