EQUALIZER – TECHNICAL LIMITER
Threshold: 0 dB
Ratio: (infinite) : 1
Attack Time: 0 ms
Release Time: 70 ms
The technical limiter is the last block in the SST 4 audio processin chain.
It prevents the RF transmission from distortion.
You et the most ain and the best S/N with the IVM4 system with an optimal modulated
RF transmission.
TIPP:
Set the In-Gain so that the gain reduction display indicates a little reduction from
time to time!
