CDi DriveCore Series Operation Manual
Configuring the Amp
Limiter
The CDi DriveCore Series amplifiers include the LevelMAX™ suite of limiters. Limiter
settings can be edited from the Limiter screen (see
). Limiters are used to set
a "ceiling" on the output level to protect drivers from over-excursion. The thermal limiters
in the CDi DriveCore Series amplifiers can also protect against thermal driver failure
(overheating).
To edit limiter settings:
1�
From the Home screen, press the
MENU
button.
2�
Select the "Configure Amplifier" option from the menu using the
ENCODER
.
3�
Select the "Edit DSP"
option from the menu.
4�
Select the "Limit" icon for the channel you wish to edit.
5�
Use the
ENCODER
to navigate, make selections, and edit settings.
6�
When done, select "Done" at the bottom of the screen.
Available options/parameters:
•
Enable (Off, On)
Turns the Limiter on or off.
•
RMS Voltage (1 – 400VRMS)
Sets the RMS voltage limit for the output.
•
Thermal Voltage (1 – 500V)
Sets the long-term output power limit of the amplifier to what the loudspeaker load can handle without overheating and going into thermal
compression. This is based on the AES power/voltage ratings of drivers outlined in the AES2-2012 standard.
•
Thermal Response (1 – 600 sec)
Sets the time it takes for the thermal limiter to adjust output voltage. This is based on the AES power/voltage ratings of drivers outlined in the AES2-
2012 standard.
Additional limiter parameters are available in Audio Architect. For more information, see
