[QUOTE="Langston Holland, post: 49912, member: 171"] Re: Power amplifier sensitivity question.... Hi Michael: One thing's for sure - if I lived in the capital of New South Wales - I'd figure out a way to get to know Dr Thiele. :) --- On the amp input clipping thresholds, the ultimate goal QSC has in mind is that their amps sound good even when used by the knowledge-challenged. If you can arrange this kind of forgiveness in your product it will sell better. The amp's built-in limiters save the end user from himself by clamping down on the input voltage once it exceeds the point where the amp would start converting the music into square waves. Thus you have a heavily compressed result, but it sure beats clipping of either the input or output of the amplifier. Even if you "disable" the clip limiter switches on the back of that amp I bet it'll still limit clipping, but do so with more of a hard knee. [/QUOTE]
