Triticum Agricolam Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 How should I set my gain? Using a method that can detect when clipping occurs. There are a couple correct ways to do this. Some searching should easily turn up both.

Triticum Agricolam Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Clipping the amplifier? When you try to push something in the signal chain too far the signal gets clipped. Usually this happens at the amplifier, but your HU or signal processor (if used) can clip too.

Joe X Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Here's how clipping looks, the input signal increases in amplitude and the amp follows until it hits it's rails, at that point distortion occurs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 You need to use DD-1 or scope to prevent this from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
