LIMITER
A limiter can be added to the analog input signal chain that adds about 12dB dynamic headroom to
avoid clipping on signal spikes. While it is best practice to use an external audio mixer to control the
signal strength the limiter can be used in more dynamic environments where an external mixer is not
practical to reduce the risk of clipped audio samples.
Note: The limiter is not available on non-upgraded Epic-M’s and early Epic-X. Please contact your
Bomb Squad representative for details how to upgrade your camera.
Channel 1/2 and channel 3/4 gain control can be linked together for easier use with external mixers and
stereo-microphones.
