Last week I was checking out my buddies pioneer deck.. its a mid line, and I used my scope on the RCA outs to check for clipping and had the volume up to the MAX but the waveform was still fine...

does Pioneer have some sort of anti clip technology in their deck?

 

What tool do you need to hvae to see if your RCA's clip?

I have an older Pioneer DEX-P78 and I never thought it clipped, but I have always been uneasy about it. I'd like to find out if I can crank it up all the way and keep the gains on my amps a little lower.

Thanks,

well, 1000hz could still damage a mid... and it's not the best advice to give to amateurs [img]tongue.gif[/img] Some dont even hear when the signal is fully clipped at ANY frequency... they still think it sounds good!

 

its VERY easy to hear 1000hz clip.

 

Thanks guys, I'll look for a cd cause it'll be a lot cheaper than an O scope.
