[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 47555, member: 34"] Re: Amps with clip indicators that fire at 3dB below actual clip? XTi limiters and indicators are a mess. First, the regular front-panel indicators show average, not peak. Additionally, they're showing INPUT level, not output level, IIRC. Except for the clip indicators, which again, IIRC, they show clip anywhere, output or input. You really need to have System Architect set up to monitors XTi amps, otherwise you really have no clue what they're doing. When the limiters are engaged it is quite possible to clip the inputs before the outputs get close to clip. Bad internal DSP gain structure can also make this happen.
