This product offers a wide range of tools for sound system design
and setup. These tools can make your system more efficient and
better sounding, but to get the best possible sound it is important to
use these tools properly. The following section explains how to
maximize system gain and how to use the limiters to protect your
amplifiers from clipping. In traditional system design, the output of
your console would be routed to a system EQ, a compressor, and a
crossover with output level control. From the crossover, there may
be additional filters that are employed to improve the response of
your speakers. There may also be limiters set up to keep your
amplifiers from going into clipping and protect your speakers from
the hazards of a clipped signal. Your amplifiers play a vital role in
system setup, because they are last item in the chain before your
speakers and offer the greatest amount of gain (that is their job
after all). If your limiters and amplifiers are incorrectly setup you
will not be using your system to its fullest potential and could be
harming your speakers.
