home’s audio entertainment center). Set the MC6 for limiting (Hard Knee mode On, with the
RATIO slider all the way to the right) and adjust the THRESHOLD to provide 15 dB or more of
compression (just a few dB below the input clip). For low-level signals, the MC6 won’t change
gain, but if large signals come along, the gain will be reduced to prevent clipping and save
sensitive system components from excessive heat buildup or other types of damage.
