deepthoughts Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 As the title says, what kind of compressor/limiter do commercial subwoofers use? Are they using a single band voltage limiter, multi band compressor, or something else? That all depends on what the designer, the DSP/electronic hardware/software capabilities or flexibility. The specific subwoofer design with respect to box, driver and amplifier limits all impact what sort of design is appropriate. Some give a lot of thought to the issue and do lots of experiment and listening. Some never bother or just quickly set a Voltage limiter using default settings. There is no all encompassing answer. Sometimes a simple Voltage limiter does the trick, as is the case with many sealed systems. The answer you are seeking is as clear cut as asking which subwoofer design is superior... sealed or vented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
