THRU
Plug the signal source outputs into first amplifier's input, patch from the amplifier's thru jacks to
the next amplifier's input, and so on, raising- chaining as many amplifier's as there is no exccessive
level loss.
OUTPUT
Strip back insulation 13-mm. insert wire fully, tighten barrel.
Clip Limiter
WHAT IT IS
When the audio signal drives the Amp's output circuit beyond its power capability, it clips, flattening
the peaks of the waveform. The clip limiter detects this and reduces the gain to minimize the amount of
overdrive. To preserve as much of the program dynamics as possible, limiting reduces the average
program level until peaks barely clip. Each channel has its own clip limiter, and you can switch it on or
off independently, as shown at front panel.
WHEN TO USE IT (OR NOT)
When driving full-range speakers, clip limiting reduces high frequency distortion caused by bass
overloads. It also protects higher frequency drivers from excess overdrive and harsh clipping
harmonics. When driving subwoofers, some users let the amplifier clip without limiting because it
gives extra "punch" to kick drums and similar sounds.
CAUTION:
In bi-amp systems excessive limiting will affect the frequency balance.
