Hello Guy's
I have recently bought a XDJ-R1 and its works fine but I have a question about the limiters. Sometime I play music only with my headphones on and to get a good volume in my headphones the limiters come in the red zone. Is this harmful for my device? (PS Sorry for my broken english it's not my native language)

"Riding the Reds" will not harm the controller, but it is never a good idea to let it happen primarily because it sounds like crap and may damage speakers in the PA rig. You'll also raise the ire of whoever's running the sound.

No, don't run in the red - use the channel gain to adjust the levels so they peak in the first orange. Want it louder in your headphones? Use the headphone volume control.
