Threshold
Range: -12 dB to Off
-6 to 0 dB in 0.1 dB increments
-12 to -6 in 0.5 dB increments
Brickwall limiter for the five channels. Threshold
is always relative to 0 dBFS. LED on each Output
meter indicates when Limiter is active.
Release
Range: 0.01 to 1.00 seconds
Release time for the Limiter.
Ceiling
Range: -0.10 dB to 0 dB
Fine-tuning parameter setting the Ceiling for the
Limiter.
The Ceiling parameter prevents the Output sig-
nal from exceeding the adjusted Limiter Thresh-
old. It can be used to “hide” overloads to down-
stream equipment, but it does not remove the
distortion associated with an overload.
LFE Limiter
Threshold
Range:
-12 to +3 dB
-6 to + 3 in 0.1 dB increments
-12 to -6 in 0.5 dB increments
Brickwall limiter for the LFE channel. Threshold
is always relative to 0 dBFS. LED on each Output
meter indicates when the Limiter is active.
Release
Range: 0.01 to 1.00 seconds
Release time for the Limiter.
Ceiling
Range: 0 to -0.10 dB in 0.01 dB steps.
Fine-tuning parameter setting the Ceiling for the
Limiter.
The Ceiling parameter prevents the Output sig-
nal from exceeding the adjusted Limiter Thresh-
old. It can be used to “hide” overloads to down-
stream equipment, but it does not remove the
distortion associated with an overload.
