BUTTER 12 : Butterworth 12db/octave slope (2 nd order) BUTTER 18 : Butterworth 18db/octave slope (3 rd order) BUTTER 24 : Butterworth 24db/octave slope (4 th order) BUTTER 48 : Butterworth 48db/octave slope (8 th order) BESSEL 12, or 24: Bessel (2 nd order) or (4 th order) LINKWZ 12, 24, or 48: Linkwitz-Riley (2 nd order), (4 th order), (8 th order) 4.D.6 (OUTPUT) LIMITER The Limiter is used to protect amplifiers and speakers by controlling peaks in the amplifier output which could otherwise cause distortion or clipping. Thresh: The Threshold level has a range from 0dB to -20dB. Output levels less than the Threshold setting will not be affected. Example: Output 1 Threshold = -3dB (a.) Press (A/1, B/2, C/3 or D/4) to enter OUTPUT mode (CH, Number). (b.) Press Left or Right until the screen above is shown. (c.) Use Up/Down to adjust the Threshold for the limiter. 4.D.7 (OUTPUT) DELAY The Delay time can be added to an OUTPUT to time-align drivers or to account for distance between other enclosures. (a.) Press (A/1, B/2, C/3 or D/4) to enter OUTPUT mode (CH, Number). (b.) Press Left or Right until the screen above is shown. (c.) Use Left/Right to select coarse (ex. mS) or fine (ex. uS) increments. (d.) Use Up/Down to adjust the delay time (in Seconds, Feet or Meters). (change units in the UTILITY menu) The total amount of delay available for the DCM-Lx is 120 milliseconds (120ft./36.5M). Each time a delay is added, it deletes it from the total time available for the system. For example, a Stereo setup may have up to a maximum of 63mS for each of the 2 inputs.
