The easiest way to set up the limiter is as follows, taking one channel at a time in mono mode :
First turn the limit control to maximum (fully clockwise). Using an audio oscillator, inject a 1000Hz tone at 0dB (775mV into a 600 ohm load) at the input. Monitor the output with an audio analyser and adjust the gain control to give you the required output gain/attenuation. Next inject a tone at a higher level than you need to limit to (i.e. if you want to limit at 6dB higher than your output level, inject 7dB). Then turn the limit level anti-clockwise until the output reads the desired level and the LED on the front panel flashes (red/yellow for CH1 and green/yellow for CH2). In stereo mode CH1 controls the levels for both outputs.
