[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 208193, member: 172"] Peak limiters are to protect drivers against mechanical damage caused by big amplifiers and accidental transients (e.g. guitarist unplugs from a live DI). They do not protect against thermal damage unless they are set at least 3dB below the long-term power handling capacity of the drivers in question, and could contribute to cooking drivers in certain situations. In my opinion, the best way to avoid issues with cooking drivers is to make sure you have enough rig for the gig (and if you aren't the one driving the rig, it needs to be enough rig for the band engineer).
