Re: QSC GX3 - Is it enough for my horns?



Is a simpler way of saying this that it is not just the waveform or just the amplitude, it is the combination of those two factors?


A square wave of a certain peak amplitude represents a greater average level and more energy than a sine wave with the same peak amplitude, but that may not be true if the square wave were of a lower amplitude.  The issue with clipping is that the peak level remains the same while increasing the average level and the energy represented by the resulting waveform.  Take that same resulting waveform from clipping and drop it several dB in level and it may be no problem.
