Owner’s Manual

The limiter’s attack and release characteristics are program dependent, adapting to the
envelope as it changes. This provides a limiter which is very easy to set, yet offers very
musical results when used as intended.
NOTE: Since the PeakStopPlus™ limiter is a fail-safe limiter, it must come after the
MASTER output gain control in the signal path. This means that the limiter may act as a
“volume governor” if the limiter threshold is set too low and the MASTER volume set too
high. If this condition is met, a “pumping” or “breathing” artifact may be introduced,
causing an undesirable listening experience. To alleviate this condition, you must either
reduce the MASTER volume control or raise the limiter threshold. It is recommended
to lower the MASTER volume control if the undesirable artifacts can be eliminated and
the desired listening level maintained. If lowering the MASTER volume control does
not alleviate the problem, the limiter threshold must be raised. Only raise the limiter
threshold if the next device in the signal chain does not run the risk of being overdriven
or in-ear/headphone monitoring levels do not run the risk of getting too loud, potentially
causing hearing damage.
OUTPUT TYPE
This menu allows the system engineer to optimize the PMC16’s outputs for the type of
monitoring device used. The available options are: HEADPHONES, IN-EAR MONITORS, and
SPEAKER OR WEDGE. When the “SPEAKER OR WEDGE” option is selected, the PMC16’s
output compensation feature is activated. This feature helps protect wedge monitors from
woofer over excursion.
