In this video we will look at an overview of a limiter. Please check out our other church technology videos available at academyav.com

In this video we are going to learn about limiters.

Limiters serve a very useful purpose by blocking the parts of a signal that are above a set decibel limit. 

Similar to compressors, limiters reduce the peaks of a signal above a set threshold. The difference is that compressors reduce the amount of signal above the threshold by a percentage, but limiters do not allow any peaks above the threshold. The names are rather self-explanatory.

Limiters are essentially a compressor with a compression ratio of infinity to one. By creating a hard ceiling, limiters prevent peaking.

 Limiters are often used together with compressors. The compressor is used to create a smooth roll off for sounds above a certain level, while the limiter sets an even higher firm threshold as a final safety net for extremely high peaks.

To set the limiter simply adjust the threshold to the level at which you want the limiter to kick in.
