Installation
The limiter is installed in between the audio source (a mixing desk for example) and the speaker
amplifier.

When calibrating the system, the power amplifier has to be set to maximum output level. The
limiter will reduce the signal as much as needed. When used at nominal level the established
sound pressure limit will not be exceeded after configuring the limiter. However if in any case this
should happen, e.g. When the mixer is used above the nominal level, the limiter will automatically
adjust the signal to ensure the sound pressure level remains below the maximum allowed level.

Connections

To prevent modification of the connections after calibration and sealing, the connectors of the
limiter are inaccessible after sealing of the cover plates at the front. To access the connector
board, remove the right cover plate at the front panel.
Unfasten screw (A) with a torx-screwdriver (see illustration). Now remove the 4 torx-screws (B)
from the top lid. The top cover can be removed now. Gently lift the front side a little, and slowly
shift the top lid to the rear. The connector board will become visible.
The SPL-5 MK2 is equipped with balanced in- and outputs ensuring premium sound quality over
longer distance. After installing the limiter the cover plate can be replaced, locked and sealed,
ensuring no changes to the installation can be made. If for some reason the seal is broken, the
cover and the cover is removed, the limiter will store this action into it's memory and optionally lock
the audio path. This sanction can only be reset using the reset key.
