I needed to insert a limiter for his incoming signal on my mixer. This shall be a common practice for me dealing with DJs. Even though I initially get a unity gain signal from them (on their mixer and mine), they sometimes lie and turn up instead of letting me turn them up (at least the ones I've dealt with) and I still may get a distorted signal because of the "scratching". In the future, I will try to get a unity signal from them "scratching" and also reset the Driverack.
I had the output limiters on the Driverack setup for bands and thought it would protect my speakers. But the previous gig with this rig was an outside concert and highs are absorbed quicker in air than mids and lows. So more highs are needed. Left unchanged, it was after the horns went out I notice on the Driverack, with this type of music, more output was coming from the highs. That explains the thyristor in the circuit shutting the horns off instead of the amp going thermal, especially when he started "scratching" which you described as going "zero to redline" (6-10dB). My high amp has more power than I need, which was dialed back at 1 o'clock, didn't go into protect mode because of headroom.
Thanks for your input.
