[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 141794, member: 30"] Re: Setting Amp limiters Setting the limiter a volt below calculated is not doing anything useful. For example. If a loudspeaker is rated at 500 watts @ 8 ohms and you set the limiter 1 volt below "calculated" value-, then it will give you 0.14dB additional protection. That is not anything to be concerned with. For higher rated speakers the difference is even less. HOWEVER- if the speaker is rated at 1 watt , NOW the 1 V difference will be over 3dB difference-that is a big deal. Setting the limiters a bit low is a good idea-but even thinking about 0.7 or 1V is not worth the brain cells or concern. [/QUOTE]
