Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 so i've had my 1200d for a little over a year and i absolutely love it. one problem though i've noticed is that as SOON as i turn the knob up enough to make the clipping led light up even for a split second (when not actually clipping, tested with my oscope), my voltage drops. but if i back off the knob JUST enough to not make the light come back on, my voltage is perfectly steady. why the hell does this happen?

Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 increased current draw when rail voltage matches output voltage really? i heard a while back that the clip light runs off of the rail voltage, yet i have no idea what the rail does. stupid question though, but why does rail voltage differ from output voltage? edit: does this happen to all amps? or just ones of this design?
lowsound10 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 mine does the same thing. if i put it to a certain point voltage will be steady and then if i turn it all the way up it draines battery bad. sorry that prolly wasnt any help.

EclipseChris Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 increased current draw when rail voltage matches output voltage He has it right here. As for how the clip light i have heard that AQ does it different, by using something other than rail voltage. i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P.

Decaf Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 rail voltage is the voltage the power supply unit can produce max... lets say +40v to -40v. that means the clip light will turn on once the amplifier output reaches 40v either way. solid red means you exceeded it, flickering means you are approaching it for split seconds. to my understanding, all amplifier clip lights are turned on by the same circuit
