Crown XLS "Peak Limiter"

#1 Post by Bones »

How does this technology work and is it really reliable for protecting your speakers? I trust crown, but i cant trust an amp to automatically know the limits of my drivers.. Anybody know anything about this?

The manual really doesn't say anything worthwhile. Use a real limiter that you set with a volt meter, because you're right - the amp doesn't know the limitations of your speakers.
