[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 34974, member: 4"] Re: SH-50 limiters. When setting long term power limiters, my thought is always: What's 3dB? To you and me, it is a very small difference. To the drivers, it is all the difference in the world. Therefore, I would tend to take the worse case impedance (i.e. lowest impedance at the frequency you will be hitting the box hardest, that HF impedance minimum doesn't bother me but that one at 90Hz will surely be sucking up some power), calculate from there, and then back off 3dB. Keep the box out of power compression (which can eat up that 3dB you set the limiters higher... quick), rest a little easier during shows. [/QUOTE]
