System protection
System protection limiters indicate when a system is exceeding recommended usage by
indicating CLIP or LIMIT on the LCD display.
CLIP
Figure 5.3: Clipping system status
CLIP indicates the signal to the loudspeaker is too high, resulting in a clipped signal into the
loudspeaker. If CLIP is shown, reduce the input gain knob and/or the signal on the mixer or
source equipment.
LIMIT
OR
Figure 5.4: Limit system status
LIMIT protects the loudspeaker from short-term peaks which can cause distortion. When
LIMIT is shown small on the screen, the limiter is active but keeps distortion under control.
The large LIMIT indicates the sound is negatively affected. Reducing the output volume
(MASTER VOL) is strongly recommended when the large limit indication is shown.

OUTPUT – XLR output sends the mix of both input signals to another loudspeaker or
subwoofer. INPUT LEVEL controls the signal level to OUTPUT. The MASTER VOL or DSP
control settings do not affect OUTPUT.
INPUT – Balanced input for the connection of signal sources like mixing consoles,
instruments, or microphones. Connections can be established using ¼ inch TRS or XLR
connectors.
MAINS IN – AC connection is established via an IEC-connector.
POWER – AC switch or switching the power ON or OFF. The LCD screen lights up when
the power is turned ON, after approximately 3 seconds.
LEVEL – Indicates the master gain of the system in dB. The range is from mute to +10 dB,
in 1 dB increments.
IN1 – VU meter displays the signal level of INPUT 1 into the amplifier INPUT 1 XLR
connector. IN1 and IN2 are independent of each other.
IN2 – VU meter displays the signal level of INPUT 2 into the amplifier INPUT 2 XLR
connector. IN1 and IN2 are independent of each other.
