Page 7 - 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 8 - 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...

11 Parallel input mode Description The "Parallel Input" switches let you operate the amplifier in parallel mode, delivering the same signal to two channels without using a Y-cable. Each channel drives its own speaker load, with independent gain, filtering, and clip limiting. Set switch posit...
