Does anyone use IEM's here, and... in particular, do you have a limiter in the circuit ? I've got IEMs for the first time and I'm a little concerned about the potential for transients (mental drummer hit, drunk grabbing a mic and shouting in it) blasting my delicate eardrums. I suffer with tinnitus and really can't afford to take any chances with my ears. I've seen a few limiters on ebay, but they seem a bit of overkill. I've got an old Behringer compressor pedal and was wondering if this would suffice ? I don't mind spending the money - my ears are too valuable.
Does anyone have any ideas ? Can you get small limiters ?
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

In practice your probably find wild transients are not that much of a problem for your ears as any signal that suddenly goes wild is likely to clip the channel strip and distort rather than go massively louder
Some units do have limiters built in the receivers but they won't do anything useful until you set em up with the buds your gonna be using as all have a different sensitivity
You can build a very crude clamping limiter yourself which works very much in the same way as a fuzz pedal anything reaching the threshold for the diodes to conduct in the negative feedback loop will be limited
