[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 50577, member: 30"] Re: Which limiters are good enough? And when you are pushing the system hard enough to be close to having to use speaker protection, then the sound quality is the last thing you should be interested in. If it sounds like total crap-then that can be a good thing. At least you will know where you are-and it is time to turn it down-or it may get turned WAY down-for you-by killing the speakers. I remember once a band telling me (around 11pm on a Sat night) to TURN IT UP-and if you blow the speakers-we will pay for them! Yeah right. I bet-----------------. And if I blow the speakers-then how are you going to play the rest of the show? Like I can get replacements around midnight. I ran it as hard as I dared-and didn't blow anything. Of course this was 30yrs ago-and limiters were not as common as now (at least on the club scene). I did not have any in the system-except my hand on the master level. [/QUOTE]
