Chaosgrunt Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 Hey fellas. Im a little ticked right now. I just picked up a eclipse xa1000 and it has a clipping LED on the amp. I tuned the amp with the DD-1 @ -5db and was clipping like a mofo. If the DD-1 cant even detect clipping why did i even buy it? Idk, maybe the amp is wrong, but it almost fried a subwoofer because of it. Anyone care to explain whats going on? Hopefully its my fault and can be fixed because if not, looks like ill just buy an o-scope and see if i can return the dd-1....
HunterJohnson Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 your prob not using the dd-1 correctly plug in RCA and plug into ground and turn on 40hz CD that the dd-1 came with make sure it registers the frequency then turn ur gain to match 0 distortion.

HunterJohnson Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 also one thing was weird we found out using the dd-1 is that the bass knob control actually induced clipped when turned up quickly or down quickly.

Toby Ratcliffe Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 It is impossible for the DD-1 to cause clipping. It reads the signal. It doesn't create it.

Yes im using the DD-1 right. Textbook just like the instructions and everyone else has used it.
