[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 25124, member: 7"] Re: Help me understand system limiting- setting it I never understood attack and release values with out some reference to dB, i.e. dB/s or s/dB. With just time, no matter how hot the signal is, it's squashed in the same time. Seems this varies across the industry. I think limiters (even peak ones, and maybe only peak ones since RMS seems to hard to roll on your own) are good to have simply because it's a stop light. This is especially true if you use much larger amps than the driver is rated for. Setting a peak limiter for the Program rating of a speaker with a slow attack shouldn't affect the sound to horribly, and it lets you know.. "hey you are pushing it." [/QUOTE]
