Re: Setting up a standalone limiter for Meyer UPAs
They're supposed to be power limiters AFAIK, considering voice coils have temperature rise times on the order of half an hour pretty durn long attack makes sense. Excursion limiting is such a thorny problem almost nobody tries to do it, much easier to control in box design and by using an appropriate HPF. Of course, aging drivers and woofers is a whole different issue, can't really limit for that without taking a pretty hefty performance knock when new. Suspensions age, some much more gracefully than others, but at some point every woofer needs to be replaced. I suggest you replace every woofer and driver in your inventory at least once a month: tell them I sent you when you call. :twisted:
Per the main problem with the unpowered UPAs is the fairly slow attac time on the limiters also the drivers in these ones are all getting old now so ping they go sometimes with no warning at all hopefully that's the last of them now and we'll try and be more careful with them won't we Stuart???)
