[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 92102, member: 70"] Re: Setting up a standalone limiter for Meyer UPAs Stuart, I do lots of EDM shows with everyone from local beginner DJs to the most popular DJs in the world. There are only a very few of the top DJs that I haven't provided for. Regardless of who I am providing for I give the performer a great set of Texas Headphones that THEY control with the booth output of their mixer. If you don't let them control the monitors then you risk them turning it up. If they have control and you have provided adequate monitors then almost every single DJ these days will send you a clean signal. They really have no idea how loud it is in the mains. Your tech can turn it up or down all he or she wants and you'll be just fine. Also, DJs these days are much more picky about sound quality than they were just 5 years ago. They hate the music being compressed. The music has a lot more dynamics now and they want it preserved. Best thing to do is have two stereo pairs coming into your mixer from the DJ mixer. One is the stereo L/R out from the DJ mixer, the other the stereo out from the booth. This way you can easily keep an eye on your input trims of each and EQ each separately as needed. Obviously, route the main L/R to you main stacks and the booth to the monitors. Let the DJ turn up the booth as far as needed as long as he isn't slamming your limiters, you'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
