[QUOTE="Stuart HÃ¸gg, post: 92196, member: 148"] Re: Setting up a standalone limiter for Meyer UPAs Thanks for all the replies. I haven't got the blown diaphragm apart yet, but will take a close look at it when I do. Texas headphones from the booth monitor does seem to be effective. The section of the programme that was probably hardest on the UPAs was the DJs yelling down their mic at the crowd, which of course they didn't have turned up in the booth monitor because it would feed back. I'd agree that DJs are more likely to be discerning about sound quality these days, (certainly "performance" DJs anyway, as opposed to wedding/function DJs with their low bitrate MP3s). I think with the Soundweb ahead of the UPA controller, we might end up trading a bit less dynamic range against having them slammed up against the limiters in the controller. Ideally, with the right limiting, the rig won't need a tech sitting over it scolding the DJs every time they light up a limiter. :razz: [/QUOTE]
