:Q Does the LED flickering orange indicate clipping? If so, why doesn't this correspond with the display on the transmitter?

;Q Does the LED flickering orange indicate clipping? If so, why doesn't this correspond with the display on the transmitter?

:A

;A The clip indication on the receiver is a little bit earlier than on the transmitter.

The clip indication on the receiver is a little bit earlier, than on the transmitter. ~~therefore~~ you see it already kind of orange on the receiver as it stays “clean” on the transmitter. Especially on such short signals as a click you will notice that. But it’s nothing to worry about.

== Limiter ==

:Q The specifications mention a -10 dB limiter. When I engage the limiter - I don't hear any difference. How is the limiter supposed to work?

:A ~~Being investigated~~

:A The development goal was, that you can’t hear it…

The Limiter is adaptive. It’s limiting to a Maximum output of approx. 450mV @16Ohms at the Headphone Amp. However, it is affected by the individual Impedance of the headphones used and the efficiency of the headphones drivers.

Interesting to note: The impedance of the IE 4, IE 400 PRO, IE 500 PRO, are all 16 ohms
