To access limiter settings on SRX800P loudspeakers, you will need to install and connect to the unit through HiQnet Audio Architect, available for download here.​

Connecting to the Unit

You can connect directly to your PC via the unit’s Ethernet port, or through a network switch if multiple speakers are being addressed.  Ensure that your PC’s network adapter is recognized by Audio Architect (you will be prompted to add network connections on first launch).

Once inside the software, drag the appropriate number of SRX800P units into the project window.

Select the Go Online button in the upper-left toolbar, then manually match the discovered units to the devices in your project space.

After matching, select the Synchronize Venue option from the toolbar, then use the Send or Receive options from the speaker icon:

• Send applies the settings you created offline to the connected unit.
• Receive pulls the current configuration from the unit into Audio Architect.

For first-time connections, it is strongly recommended to use Receive so that the software mirrors the loudspeaker’s existing settings.

Accessing the Limiter

Once the device is online, double-click on an SRX800P icon to open its control panel.  From there, double-click the Error Report button on the right side of the control panel.  Within this menu you will find the LevelMax Limiter Threshold, which is factory-set to –10 dB.

Additional Considerations

Before changing limiter thresholds, it’s worth noting that the Control Panel also provides several other tools that may address level concerns.  Input Sensitivity determines how much headroom is available at the input stage and should be set to Line when connecting to professional equipment such as a Soundcraft mixer.  Input Compression can help control dynamic peaks and reduce the risk of clipping at the amplifier input.  Additionally, the Master Output Level offers up to +12 dB of gain above unity, making it a practical first adjustment if overall output volume is the main issue.​

If you raise the limiter threshold, stick to small adjustments while monitoring the system.  Utilize the software’s input and output metering to confirm your signal levels, and listen for any distortion between changes.  Occasional limiting on sharp transients is acceptable, but sustained limiting or clipping indicates the system is being pushed too hard and can damage drivers over time.  Incremental changes and close observation will help preserve headroom while protecting both the amplifier and loudspeakers.​
