The main purpose of this article is to provide a better understanding of how to use the different types of limiters available in Powersoft amplifiers. This document is applicable to the following product lines: X Series, T Series, Otto / Quattro /Due Canali DSP+D series, MEZZO Series, and Loto DSP.

Choosing the correct limiter is not an easy task and many aspects need to be considered, e.g.: it can be difficult to decide thresholds and time constants to obtain the correct balance between protection and sound quality, hence every decision should be based on a wider knowledge of the component to limit. Limiting may be considered an “art” and many different approaches and philosophies can be followed. For this reason, this guideline intends to simply provide a starting point on limiter parameters and how to handle them with Powersoft devices.

NOTE: Powersoft is not responsible for misuse of the information contained in this document and/or any potential loudspeaker or other damages derived from incorrect limiter settings. This article serves as a general guideline and is subject to the context in which it is applied.

MEZZO's DSP is different from Canali series DSP, although a lot of presets are compatible. Adding a speaker in ArmoníaPlus you can filter the list of speaker selecting the voice "MEZZO Compatible"

Unfortunately, this function is only present on the X Series, Canali DSP+D Series and MEZZO Series. This because of the difference in the DSP.

For the M and K series, there are some differences in the DSP that involves the compatibility of the presets. If you need to copy a preset for the M Series on the K Series, you should copy filter by filter manually. In addition, there are additional features on the K Series that are not present on the M Series. For more information, you can use ArmoníaPlus to add offline amplifiers to understand the differences.
