[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 47665, member: 7"] Re: Amps with clip indicators that fire at 3dB below actual clip? I don't think it's very useful either... but exactly what the meters do and how someone considers something useful is arbitrary in some respects. As long as you know what its reporting (or in this case, what it's *not* reporting) then you can make some decision of what to do and when. I don't know the intricacies of amplifier and electronic design like you do JR, but I was simply pointing out this is nothing more than picking which segment of an LED ladder to call "clip" and doesn't require a microprocessor to do it. Whether other amplifier manufactures use any of these techniques is unknown to me. I think the metering on all but the newest DSP enabled amplifiers often leaves much to be desired. [/QUOTE]
