 Limiter
This compresses signals exceeding the threshold at :1, preventing signals higher than the threshold level from
being output.
• If a Speaker Processor component library created by the DME Designer application software is recalled,
the limiter’s threshold value will be raised +6 dB overall relative to the original setting in order to convert
the settings optimally for the TXn amplifier.
• The limiter within the Speaker Processor is applied before the attenuator. This means that if the attenua-
tor is lowered, the limiter will be applied at a lower output level.
Limiters that are unaffected by the attenuator include the Voltage Limiter and Power Limiter found in the
“Limiter” tab (page 133) of the “Device Property” window.
(These limiters are applied at the last stage of the amplifier, later than the attenuator.)
Parameter Range Function
q Limiter curve —
Displays the limiter response as a graph. The horizontal axis is the
input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output level.
w GR meter — Displays the amount of gain reduction.
e OUT meter — Displays the output signal level.
r Threshold -54dB–±0dB Specifies the threshold value.
t Attack
FAST, MID, SLOW,
MANUAL (0–120ms)
Specifies the attack time. If the MANUAL setting is selected, use
the knob shown below to specify the attack time.
If you select [FAST], [MID] or [SLOW], the time values will be set
automatically according to the HPF cutoff frequency of the
Speaker Processor crossover band.
Fast : One-quarter wavelength of cutoff frequency
Mid : One-half wavelength of cutoff frequency
Slow : One wavelength of cutoff frequency
y Release
FAST, MID, SLOW,
MANUAL
(44.1kHz: 6ms–46s,
48kHz: 5ms–42.3s,
88.2kHz: 3ms–23s,
96kHz: 3ms–21.1s)
Specifies the release time.
For [FAST], [MID], and [SLOW], the optimal values will be set auto-
matically according to the maximum wavelength of the audio being
input to the limiter. If the MANUAL setting is selected, use the knob
shown below to specify the release time.
If you select [FAST], [MID] or [SLOW], the time values will be set
automatically according to the HPF cutoff frequency of the
Speaker Processor crossover band.
Fast : Four wavelengths of cutoff frequency
Mid : Eight wavelengths of cutoff frequency
Slow : Sixteen wavelengths of cutoff frequency
u ON On/Off Turns the limiter on/off.
