Re: IT8000 Update & Input gain question Vinny, not everything is math. You can get away with higher peak voltages because they're peaks... unless the peak causes over-excursion it's okay (HF is less tolerant). Particularly with subs and HF, the Peak-to-Average ratio is very high, so what you want to limit is the long term average power. That's why the I-Tech has a 10 second attack time on the RMS limiter.I think 50% of a speaker's rated power handling is a bit low, but as Bennett said, getting that extra 3dB without killing the rig is what we system guys get paid for. Start with his suggestion and if you're constantly in RMS limit, either the threshold is too low or you don't have Enough Rig for the Gig™.Have fun, good luck.Tim Mc
