Clip limiter
WHAT IT IS
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 reduces the
gain to minimize the amount of
overdrive. To preserve as much of
the program dynamics as possible,
limiting reduces the average
program level until peaks barely clip.
Each channel has its own clip
limiter, and you can switch it on or
off independently, as shown at left.
WHEN TO USE IT (OR NOT)
When driving full-range speakers,
clip limiting reduces high frequency
distortion caused by bass overloads.
It also protects higher frequency
drivers from excess overdrive and
harsh clipping harmonics.
When driving subwoofers, some
users let the amplifier clip without
limiting because it gives extra
"punch" to kick drums and similar
sounds.
CAUTION: In bi-amp systems,
excessive limiting will affect the
frequency balance.
