[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 50459, member: 42"] Re: Which limiters are good enough? +1 There has been a noticeable amount of increase in output/headroom since I switched to a DSP with 2 stage limiting with look ahead peak limiting. I can get more impact out of the rig and not worry about blowing stuff up. If you're running below clip all the time vs. right at or slightly into clip, especially with low frequency drivers, you're probably missing out on a few dB of extra umph. Maybe even more. Some people may poo poo 3dB. But in my experience, it's a noticeable amount of output. FWIW, I never allow my horns to clip at all. But they can easily outrun the rest of my rig even if the subs/15s/10s were into limiting and would be extremely painful in my venue if they ever got anywhere near clip ;) [/QUOTE]
