[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 130492, member: 30"] Re: Help me understand system limiting- setting it Agreed My "go to" limiter settings for EDM type music is 1/2 the continuous wattage rating. This has worked very well for me. Granted, often times the subs are in limiting during the show-but when you hard limit a sine wave nobody notices :) The fastest/easiest way is to figure out the voltage for the continuous rating (square root of (wattage x impedance)), then multiply by 0.707. Now they have a target. Use a sine wave generator in the freq band of interest and turn it up to a decent level above the desired target. Then simply dial back the limiter threshold until the voltage gets to the target. DO NOT have loudspeakers hooked up when you do this. Unless you want to replace them. [/QUOTE]
