DATEQ SPL3TS SOUND LIMITER

Description

The microcontroller in the limiter continuously measures the input signal and attenuates the output as much as necessary to keep the maximum sound pressure below a preset value. Because the SPL limiters are not peak limiters, the dynamics of the music are not affected. As with the SPL2, both the input sensitivity (threshold) and the output attenuation (output level) can be adjusted. All connectors and controls can be sealed after installation so that they cannot be adjusted afterwards.

The SPL3 has another function. It features a measuring microphone so that the sound pressure of, for example, a live band can also be measured. This makes the SPL3 ideally suited for live performances where the band brings its own equipment. If, in live mode, the sound pressure level exceeds the preset value, the limiter can issue a warning to the band (a flashing light). If the sound pressure remains too high, the limiter will issue a penalty. It is possible to switch off the mains voltage using this penalty.

In addition to the SPL3, the SPL3TS features a built-in clock. This makes it possible to set different sound pressure levels for different times of the day. The built-in calendar supports up to 10 dates on which the limiter operates in ‘bypass’ mode. All these settings can be configured using the PC software.

Includes DCM-5 Class 2 measuring microphone.
