monkeyleg Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 "Distortion will occur BEFORE clipping will" The golden sentence...if it is true. That was my problem. I was not sure if distortion came before clipping. OBVIOUSLY "I" will not keep turning the gain while the distortion is pumping through just to find clipping. No need to get angry over how someone shoulnd't listen to "dirty" sound. I will use MY MONEY without worry now, thank god you ship to Canada.

TonyD'Amore Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I know it's hard to grasp the concept of distortion if there is no clipping. I will try to get some good pictures from my bench, showing the SMD DD-1 in action. For now, check out this picture of a distorted sine wave vs. a clean sine wave. Your little hand-held scope is not going to tell you about this, it may show it on the screen but unless you have robot eyes you aren't going to know what you are looking at. Hell, you have to look closely at those little LCD displays even to see clipping! By the way, the blue is the distorted signal, red is clean.

Idk if you are supposed to use the 0db, -5db, or -15db? im sure it will come with a CD that has the freqs on it, that you need to test with, so no need to worry about downloading them...

Idk if you are supposed to use the 0db, -5db, or -15db? it all deals with the amount of gain overlap you want to have. Although the higher overlap, the usual more distortion you have as a consequence but gain DB. here is what im trying to say: Quote 2 Sundown Audio SA-10s Box built by Speed of Sound Kicker 1500.1 Infinity Ref 475a Rockford Fosgate T1682c 6x8s Pioneer Premier DEH-510UB XS Power D6500 Stock 130amp Alt Big 3 Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
