7.6. Output Limiters
High performance digital limiters are provided for each output with control over attack time, release time and threshold level parameters (see Section 8.2, page 22). This level of control allows the user to balance the required subjective quality of the limiter against the driver protection requirements. It also means that an incorrectly set limiter may sound awful! In particular, as with all limiters, using too fast an attack or release time will result in excessive low frequency distortion. In ‘design a crossover’

The time constants are set by the high pass filter frequency for that channel.
