The LIMIT threshold control sets the maximum allowable MASTER signal level. The Limiter affects both House and
Booth signals. This control is located on the rear panel and screw driver adjust to prevent tampering. Threshold range is –20
dBu to +20 dBu. Center detent is 0 dBu. LIMIT threshold indicators are located on the front and rear panels.
Only 6 dB of post limiter makeup gain is available. To set the maximum system level, adjust the Limiter with HOUSE
and BOOTH LEVEL controls set to maximum. Applications include limiting SPL, protecting amplifiers and speakers.
A note to DJs: If you are running gains high enough to cause hard limiting, faders and tone controls will not respond
as expected. For example, if you run signal levels 10 dB over the Limit threshold, you must turn signal levels down 10 dB
before you hear a reduction in level. The Limiter is a safety net designed to protect ears and equipment. Under normal operating condi-
tions, the LIMIT indicator should only flash occasionally.

MONITOR controls determine the source and level of the PHONES
signal. With the MONITOR MONO switch out, the PAN control fades
between stereo CUE and stereo PGM signals. The CUE signal is selected
using CUE CH 1, CH 2, CH 3 and CH 4 switches in any combination.
The associated yellow indicator lights when a CUE is active. The PGM sig-
nal monitors the HOUSE Output (same signal going to the Master House).
With MONITOR MONO selected (in), the PAN control fades between
mono CUE (left ear) and mono PGM (right ear).
