Limiter ~~in the L1®~~

===L1 Limiter on L1 Pro Models ===

When you are running your L1® at maximum output and you introduce something else like a voice the limiter may kick in to prevent distortion and prevent damage. As a result the the level of the entire system is reduced. The addition of your voice is what is putting the system into the limiting state.

~~You may noticing~~ the ~~limiter on the music and not your voice because when~~ you ~~talk or sing the entire level of the system comes down by~~ "x"~~dB and but your voice level will still be relative to~~ the ~~music based on your mixer setting~~.

On the {{Forum}} you will read about "compression" when the L1™ is operating at high volume.

~~When you stop talking the limiter disengages and ramps the music back up~~ to ~~the level it was before you started talking. Essentially the limiter releases and allows the audio to come back to max level~~.

=== Limiter on Legacy L1 Models===

This theory of operation applies to all L1 Models.

:There is no actual compressor. The only dynamic processing is a protective limiter. That should only kick in, when you are hitting it real hard.

:This limiter is not per-se frequency dependent, but there are independent ones for the L1 and B1 and they are tuned a little different.

;Model II limiter

:The limiters threshold is from -50.0dB to 0dB. A limiter is a type of compressor to limit the level of a signal to a certain threshold. A limiter will almost completely prevent any additional gain above the threshold. Limiters are used against signal peaking (clipping). They prevent occasional signal peaks which would be too loud or distorted.
