VX audio output limiters
Vx provides a linear phase virtual crossover and two limiter paths on each output.
This unique system delivers effective protection for systems that incorporate
passive crossovers.

Vx Limit: Multiband peak limiter, two per output
Vx Max: Multiband overshoot limiter, two per output
X‐Max: Driver excursion limiter
T‐Max: Driver thermal limiter (long term power limiter)
