Limit
The limiting parameters set in RS Products are engineered to provide a high level of protection for the drivers
while maximizing sonic performance and output. The
Limit indicator in the rear input panel illuminates when
limiting is occurring. If this is flashing occasionally, meaning no more than once every 3 seconds or so, then
levels are probably OK, but at maximum if this indicator is flashing more than once every 3 seconds or so,
reduce the input signal level.
CAUTION :
Electronic limiters cannot provide absolute protection against driver failure. Thus, if limiting is occurring,
it is a warning that excessive signal levels are being approached. EAW is not responsible for damaged or broken
speaker components due to user error.
Operating Limits
The RS products have a Limiter indicator. The speaker is designed to maximize performance and clarity at
limit – if the limit light is blinking every few seconds, no action is needed. If the limit light is flashing more
frequently, or is continuously on, reduce the volume to avoid distortion.
