Since 1970 DATEQ known as a problem solver in the field of pro audio technology. The current product range of the Dutch manufacturer ranges from broadcast mixing consoles through various DJ-mixers to SPL-limiters and intelligent zone mixing systems. What DATEQ set clearly apart from its competitors, is the extraordinary and convincing sound quality and reliability of all products.
The SPL3TS is a limiter with a microcontroller continuously measureing the input-level and attenuating the output level as much as necessary to keep the sound level below the given threshold. The TS version is equipped with a timer for time based level control.
The SPL3TS has the ability to adjust the sound-level (actual output-level) and the threshold (input sensitivity). It also features a dedicated microphone input for the included measuring microphone. With the microphone connected the SPL3TS has the possibility to measure the audio-level from live-bands etc. This measuring microphone makes the SPL3TS the ideal limiter for live performances where the band uses its own PA system. When, in live mode, the sound-level exceeds the threshold, the limiter can give a warning to the band (with a flashing light). If the sound-level remains too loud for a longer period of time the limiter will activate the sanction output and can, if desired, cut-off the mains supply of the band.
The SPL3TS has a built in clock/ timer. This makes it possible to program a completely different sound level at different periods of the day. The built in calendar allows you to program a list of 10 dates to switch the limiter to bypass automatically. All these settings can be adjusted by using the PC-software. But before it becomes possible to make any changes this software has to be registered; this makes it impossible for un-authorised people to alter the limiters configuration.
All the connectors, the sound-level and threshold controller are inaccessible after the limiter is sealed.
