Page 73: Appendix I: Limiters And How To Set Them Correctly
Page 73 D Series D5K4, D8K4 and D14K4 DSP Operating Instructions Appendix I: Limiters and How to Set Them Correctly Your amplifier has two levels of dynamic protection on its outputs – a traditional program limiter, and a peak limiter. -
Page 74: Peak Limiter
Page 74 D Series D5K4/D8K4/D14K Operating Instructions Peak Limiter The main limitation with traditional dynamics control is the inability of the processing to react truly instantaneously to the signal. One of the most significant advantages of digital signal processing over analogue is the ability to delay the audio signal precisely and without extensive complex hardware. - Page 75 Page 75 D Series D5K4, D8K4 and D14K4 DSP Operating Instructions Level For an analogue dynamics processor, the situation is much better. Controlling the gain Threshold for Onset of Gain Control electronically, and not relying on a human sidechain feedback mechanism, it can react much more quickly.
