Limiters Power Sources and Battery-Life The FP24 has two built-in peak-responding limiters, one for each The FP24 operates from either two internal AA alkaline cells or input channel. Each limiter has a two-stage circuit: the first stage an external 5–14 VDC battery supply or AC to DC transformer keeps the input gain stage from clipping; the second stage limits the (such as the Shure PS20). The power connector is a locking, variable gain stage according to the Limiter Threshold control set- thre
