Limiter on the PA+

Hi Guys,

Just got the PA+ and tuned my system with the RTA mic and I'm very pleased with the results.

Here is my rig - Mixwix3 16:2 --> DRPA+ --> QSC GX5 --> JBL MRX515 Currently running without subs.

My question is, do I need to do anything more with the limiter after running the setup wizard for EQ and RTA, or is the limiter set based on the the selection of the GX5? Plus, additional limiting with the QSC "guard rail" technology.

Thanks - Tim

    The limiter in the DRPA is NOT brick wall.. you should do a gain structure as per this thread:

    Gain structure and knowing where your amps limit is MUCH more important than trying to protect your system with limiters...they should be for "unavoidable accidental overload", like knocked over mics. By engaging the limiter on the amps you are also reducing the available output of the amps.
