[QUOTE="thch, post: 1316155, member: 562032"] I was thinking recently about making a clipping detector as an alternative to a DMM. Like a DMM, the device would be handheld, battey powered, easy to use, and cost around $25. the device would work with a 60hz signal source. standardizing on 60hz makes things simple enough to build. basically you would plug the device into the amp, then turn up the volume. 4 led would be on the device -- no clipping, 0.1% distortion (or low i guess), 1% distortion, and 10% distortion. two switches would be on the device -- on/off and line/speaker level input. while it is possible to make an autoranging circuit, it would be more expensive and probably less accurate. i'm working on the schematic for this. I have a lot of parts. I will build one for myself. I am wondering if there is any interest in either a fully assembeled device or a kit for this purpose.
