What mixers are available with built in limiters/compressors

[cazwrx187]

Besides the djm800/900, what else out there has this built in feature?

[PeteWoods]

honestly, i dont really see why it matters... just keep your levels appropriate!

Since when do Pioneer mixers have limiters?

They have attenuators if that's what you mean……I think some Denons have those too.

Either way, you shouldn't mix into a limiter……all it'll do is teach you horrible habits and ruin your sound.

This isn't for me, I'm doing research for a local club. They want a mixer with a built in limiter incase some idiot dj redlines the mixer. They want to protect their sound system from clips.

Also, the Pioneer site says that the mixers have "look ahead limiters."

Well if it's a club, just send the audio from the mixer to a limiter (like it should properly be wired in a club environment).

You need to tell them to actually look into getting some external rack gear if they actually wan to protect their system and get it to perform right.

Graphic EQ, Compressor, limiter, possibly some sort of rack unit to compensate for time delays between the high and the lows (depending on the size of the club) and so on.

Basically, tell them to stop being a bunch of tight asses and spend some money to do it proper

That's what I have told them, but management doesn't care for anything even slightly complicated.

[JasonBay]

That's why you hire an actual engineer to come in and set everything up. This isn't that hard, this is what you have to do if you don't want your system to go belly up.

Setting it up isn't really that complicated, but getting it all dialed in is another story, hence the actual audio engineer

[JasonBay]

To be honest, I wouldn't want management anywhere NEAR the rack once it is dialed in

Ecler Evo 5 has built in one
