[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 18582, member: 70"] Re: Intro to bi-/tri-amping I don't know exactly how the BSS algorithms work. They are very smooth limiters. What I think happens, only based upon my ears is that they have a soft limiter like an RMS and a brickwall. I set it so that the limiter is set at my ''Program'' rating or double the RMS voltage. The limit light on the meter comes on only on loud portions but I rarely see the ''Over'' LED light up which only comes on during the extreme peaks. There is no breathing or pumping. Even during really loud EDM stuff you won't notice the limiting, they just kinda of stop getting louder. Hope that explains them well enough. It is hard to match the LEDs on the Minidrives with the LEDs for my Camcos because the Camcos have a multi-color LED that changes from Green to Yellow to Red very fast as you get close to the maximum output. In addition, the Camcos have a feature that actually turns down the input so that the amp itself will not create more than 1% THD. So there is a lot going on. I just did an EDM rental on Saturday for some really fancy DJ named Axwell as the headliner. I had to change the limiters for my subs a little due to it being a different configuration that normal. I ended up setting the limiter approx 1.5-2 dB lower than I would have thought based upon my math but I was still able to get approximately full output on the amp based upon the multicolor LED on the amp on the very loudest peaks.
