Re: help:clipping on powered speakers

Hi Doug
 
I was just reading this again this morning and realized you may be discribing a damaged amplifier! when a portion of the amp(eg 1 transistor out of two or 4) is not working it can do what you are discribing... 

try hooking up your dtx output to some other amp(less power or the same) and compare the output of the two. you may have to bite the bullet and buy a different setup to amplify the output,... or get that one repaired.

one of my 400 watt powered amps is quieter than the other(i figure it is damaged)(I run stereo and they are both yamaha's), which forces me to crank it at the mixer and it usually clips before we get it to a decent level I know it needs repair or replacement, which I will do in the near future. when I save enough!
Tom
