Output Limiter

The limiter on each output has adjustable attack and threshold, with a release time that is selectable to be a multiplier of
the attack time. For example, as shown below, the attack time is 2mS and release is “x16” so 32mS. The attack and
release times can be automatically linked to the high pass filter frequency, so that they are set to correct values for the
output’s frequency range. If this feature is enabled, the display will show

Automatic T/C in

place of the attack

and release times. Selection of automatic time constants is through the

wizard, in the

Attack Release Threshold

Output “D-Max” (Clip) Limiter

The clip limiter on each output is designed to sit at a threshold just above the standard limiter and has a look ahead attack
so that its threshold can never be exceeded. The release time can be automatically linked to the high pass filter frequency,
so that it is set to a value appropriate for the output’s frequency range. If this feature is enabled, the display will show

Rel. = Auto

in place of the release time. Selection of automatic time constants is through the

wizard, in the

More information about the limiters and their use is given in the section on page 44.
