Limiter-Calculator

Calculate limiter values ​​for DSP, including converter for input sensitivities.

Calculate Limiter Settings

         
Amplifier
  Sensitivity V Output power Wrms
  Sensitivity dBu On impedance Ohm
  Voltage Gain dB Output voltage Vrms
         
Loudspeaker
  RMS Power W Impedance Ohm
  Output voltage Amp V RMS-Voltage Vrms
  Allowable gain dB Peak-Voltage Vpeak
         
Controller / Limiter
  Reference point DSP dBu  DSP     
 
  Peaklimiter only
  Treshold dBu dBfs   
 
  Peaklimiter + RMS Limiter
  RMS Limiter dBu dBfs Vrms
  Peak Limiter +3dB dBu dBfs Vpeak
  Peak Limiter +6dB dBu dBfs Vpeak
  Peak Limiter +9dB dBu dBfs Vpeak
 


Important:
A peak limiter that can be set in dB usually works already in Vpeak.
That means 0dB rms and 0dB peak both correspond to the same thing,
for example 500W rms and correspondingly 1000W peak.

More Tips and Infos, see below.

Special DSP reference points:
 Omnitronic DXO-24/26: +5dBu *
Thomann t.racks DS 2/4: 0dBu **
* Output +20dBu = +15dBfs
** DSP reduces level by 5dB
