DSP - output limiter and speaker protection

IN

Selects input processing before the routing matrix.

Input channels; linked stereo channels are displayed together.

Selects physical-output processing after routing.

Outputs/stereo pairs derived from the hardware layout.

Enables or bypasses this processor on the indicated channel.

On / Off; does not mute the channel.

Sets the upper signal limit protected by the limiter.

-60 to 0 dBFS, step 0.5 dB.

Enables softer peak clipping in the corresponding processor.

On / off.

Descriptive loudspeaker model for the protection profile. The name does not replace impedance and power specifications.

Text.

Descriptive amplifier model for the protection profile.

Text.

Nominal load impedance used to calculate the safe output voltage.

1-64 ohms, step 0.1 ohm.

Rated RMS loudspeaker power used in the safe-voltage calculation.

At least 1 W, step 1 W; the GUI specifies no upper bound.

Amplifier RMS power at the selected load. The calculation uses the lower of the available speaker and amplifier ratings.

At least 1 W, step 1 W; the GUI specifies no upper bound.

Reduces the calculated permitted power to provide a safety margin.

0.1-1, step 0.05; default 0.8.

Output voltage corresponding to digital full scale in the actual gain chain. Needed to convert a safe RMS voltage into a dBFS threshold.

At least 0.001 Vrms, step 0.01. Calibration derives it from the measured reference voltage.

Additional calibration correction used to calculate the protection threshold.

-60 to +60 dB, step 0.1 dB.

Averaging period for RMS protection.

50-1000 ms, step 10 ms; default 200 ms.

Peak limit in the output protection profile.

-60 to 0 dBFS, step 0.5 dB.
