[QUOTE="David Sturzenbecher, post: 26572, member: 204"] Re: Help me understand system limiting- setting it I have a question concerning setting the attack and release times for peak limiters. I have seen a trend that lower frequency speakers have a slower attack time...and higher frequency speakers have a quicker attack time...Why? It may take lower frequency signals 10 to 100 times longer to complete a cycle...but why isn't everything set as quick as possible to detect the peak as soon as possible? As I am writing this, I think i may have thought of the answer...if a quick attack time is set on a low frequecny signal it will essentially square off the top of the waveform where as if it is set to attack after a full waveform develops the limiter will not square off the waveform, and reduce the entire cycle. Or does this have more to do with release times? Thinking out loud here. [/QUOTE]
