DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
The Output Limiter function provides a means of directly
monitoring and controlling peak output level. It is especially
valuable for the protection of amplifiers, loudspeakers and other
audio equipment. The Output Limiter operates similar to a
compressor with an infinite compression ratio, preventing the
output level from exceeding the specified Threshold.
Four parameters control this feature:
On/Off
Turns this feature on or off
Threshold
Used to set the peak signal level above which compression
occurs.
Control range is from -80 to +20dB in 0.5dB steps
Attack Time
Sets the time required for the Limiter to decrease its gain by
20dB.
Control range is from 1 to 100 milliseconds in 1 millisecond
steps
Release Time
Determines how long it takes for the gain to return to normal
when the level drops below the Threshold.
Control range is from 10 milliseconds to 10 seconds in 10
millisecond steps
