Enabling the Limiters
When enabled, the limiters are globally activated for inputs 1-6 and all outputs.
Limiters are present on both mic and line-level inputs as well as the master
L/R and X1/X2 tracks. On the 664, when direct outputs are used as line inputs
(7-12) there is no pre-fade limiter but there is a post-fade limiter on those
channels.
To enable or disable limiters:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to select LIMITERS > Limiters.
3. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to activate or deactivate the limiter.
Options include: On and Off.
Adjusting the Threshold
The default threshold of all output limiters is 18 dBu; however, that may be
adjusted from 4 dBu to 20 dBu in 1 dBu increments.
To adjust the threshold:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to select LIMITERS.
3. Define the threshold parameters based on the following table:
