[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 68554, member: 30"] Re: Limiting Within Line Arrays Agreed! And they "expect" a single-simple number to "protect" their loudspeakers in every situation/usage. There are different types of failures of loudspeakers-caused by different signals applied. Sometimes it is simple to much power for to long. Other times power has nothing to do with it, but rather a large signal for a short duration causing the loudspeaker to move to far and physically damage itself. Sometimes this is a signal that is to low for the loudspeaker, and sometimes it is well within the freq band-just to large. Sometimes it is a combination of all of the above. And they want a "single" setting to cover all of those situations? Yeah right! ALl a limiter does is give a bit of protection. If the loudspeaker is not operated within its parameters, then it gets really hard to keep from tearing it up. When you really dig-loudspeakers and their ratings/limits etc are VERY complicated-with a lot of "depends" applied. They are not light bulbs. The more people understand how the gear works, what the limits are, the easier it will be to keep it working for a long time. Of course you can always "clamp down on it" so that you can't damage the loudspeaker. But then you will be missing out on a lot of output capability. [/QUOTE]
