LIMITER:

The Limiter is used to protect amplifiers, speakers and recordings by controlling peaks in the signal output which would otherwise cause distortion and clipping. The Limiter has a threshold level has a range from +20.0dB (off) to -20.0dB.

Output levels less than the threshold setting will not be affected.

HIGH PASS (HPF) and LOW PASS (LPF) FILTERS:

Use the filters to protect speakers from extreme frequencies beyond the speaker’s usable range. These are a 4th order (24dB/oct.) Butterworth filters.

HPF: Set the High Pass Filter frequency (Low Cut). The lowest setting is OFF.

LPF: Set the Low Pass Filter frequency (Hi Cut). The highest setting is OFF.
