[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 132629, member: 4"] Re: Opinions on limiting for speaker protection Hey Jeff, I think a big part of the problem with public conception of limiting is that many people assume all limiters are created equal. If the only limiter available to me is a fast limiter in a DSP that isn't integrated into my amplifiers I will probably leave it off, fast limiting is for media that only cares about peaks (like CDs and other recording gear) not loudspeakers. My desert island limiter would be one that measures actual delivered power to the loudspeaker and lets me limit based on that using a pretty long attack and release (many seconds at least). Lots of powered speakers have this built in, and some amps as well like the Powersoft KDSP series and Crown iTech HD series to name two. Here's an article I wrote on this subject a while back: [url]http://bennettprescott.com/downloads/LoudspeakerFundamentals.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
