Limiter/Peak Limiter
Both the multiband and output limiters threshold meters work on the same principle. When the
signal is under the threshold setting, the signal is not being processed by the limiter section.
The next part of the threshold meter is the “o”. It represents the OverEasy® range of compres-
sion. When the signal exceeds the threshold set in the limiter section, the plus (+) sign will dark-
en, and gain reduction will begin to occur as a result of the signal exceeding the limiter’s
threshold.
Monitoring separate bands is a useful and easily accomplished function in the IEM. By pressing
the METER/MONITOR button twice you are able to access the monitor selection page. Use the
DATA WHEEL to select at which point you would like to monitor. The headphone graphic and
arrow change to show the point in the signal chain you are monitoring. The text under “Monitor
Out” shows which band and position you are currently selecting.
As you adjust the dynamic processing within individual bands it helps to monitor the changes
made to those bands. While you monitor the individual bands it is recommended that adjust-
ments be made prior to the performance. “Band 1 pre” monitor position is located just after
the crossover, and before the multi-band compressor and limiter. “Band 1 post” is located after
the multi-band compressor and limiter, and before the output peak limiter. The other bands (2-
4) operate in the same fashion.
