Page 9 - Clip limiter; PARALLEL INPUTS; Limitador de picos
9 Clip limiter Description When the audio signal drives the amp's output circuit beyond its power capability, it clips, flattening the peaks of the waveform. The clip limiter detects this and quickly reduces the gain to minimize the amount of overdrive. To preserve as much of the program dynamics as...
Page 10 - Input filter; Filtro de entrada
10 Input filter Description The low-frequency (LF) filter rolls off signals below either 30 Hz or 50 Hz. This improves bass performance by limiting sub-audio cone motion, making more power available for the speakers' rated frequency range. The filter settings for each channel are controlled individu...
