SETTING BASS PEAK LIMITERS

SETUP SPEAKERS MANUAL LEVELS CALIBRATION BASS PEAK LIMITERS

The BASS PEAK LIMITERS option displays the BASS PEAK LIMITERS menu to set amplitude limits on low frequency signals sent to the Main Zone audio output Subwoofer L/R and LFE connectors. This menu also sets amplitude limits on low frequency signals redirected to other Main Zone audio output connectors. The MC-12 is equipped with an internal limiter to prevent low frequency signals from exceeding a designated output level. This is essential for Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES) sources that produce low frequency signal peaks at much higher output levels than

2-channel sources. In home theaters, there is a danger of the subwoofers and their associated amplifiers overloading when attempting to reproduce low frequency signals.
