Rack + Mixer/Eq setup needed ASAP

[Gregory East]

The purpose of limiting is to ensure no input signal can make the amp generate too much voltage for the drivers. The mixer and eq can be overdriving to hell and sound like pure arse for all I care.

You don't need the eq unit in the chain to set the limiting. Limiting is a one time deal between amp processor and the t60 in parallel. It doesn't matter if you change mixers eq units fx etc.

Because the amp is significantly more powerful than it needs to be you won't be seeing much action from the input lights before it limits. That's fine.

The headroom on the mixer will be much reduced for same reason. You need to ram it through mixer controller's head until he can recite it backwards: the amp is too powerful for the speakers, it's limited at "x" dB on the mixer lights, any more than that gets no louder just sounds like arse.

You may be able to wind down the input sensitivity on the eq to get back the fader control so +3db on the mixer hits the limiter. Bit of a learning curve here, good luck. I got stuff to do.
