[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 26707, member: 42"] Re: Help me understand system limiting- setting it This actually isn't true. Even square waves applied to speakers diaphragms cause work to be performed, i.e. cone motion. In fact, the motion is the same as sine waves into the driver. That's why it's possible to cause over-excursion with clip amps as well as over-heating because the 'flat' portion of the waveform is still causing the VC to move in a direction. For many systems this is true. I will say, however, with modern processors and 2 stage 'look ahead' limiters, I've seen rigs hammered hard into full limiting for extended periods without damage. If both correct rms and peak limiting are in place, you should be able to abuse a system to it's fullest without damage, that's the point right? Of course, it may sound gawd awful, but the speakers shouldn't 'get hurt' ;) Greg [/QUOTE]
