Hi,<br>
<br>
<blockquote type=cite cite> Hey all I've been playing
my modular through my home stereo. Is this<br>
bad? It sounds ok but sometimes I worry that I may fry my stereo? A<br>
friend suggested a limiter? What do you guys think?</blockquote><br>
The amplifiers ought to be fine, all though it might be wise to watch
your input level, as some modulars can produce quite a voltage swing..
Some concern for the input stage of the stereo. The real concern is for
your tweeters - you have an excellent chance of blowing them to the lack
of equalization and compression in the signal.<br>
<br>
If you watch the input level (output of the modular) and add some sort of
eq to control the higher freqs, you should be OK... but just remember
that home stereos are (generally) not musical instrument amplifiers, and
were never intended to take the kind of abuse that a live instrument
signal is capable of inflicting... call it dynamic range.<br>
