[QUOTE="Decaf, post: 7666972, member: 613868"] The clip light just indicates rail voltage is same as output voltage... so if you play a louder song you will reach that point sooner. so if you played a -10db sine then a -5dB sine wave the clip light would come on sooner with the -5dB, even though they are clean non clipped sine waves. The software we use to find the dB level of bass averages .4-.5seconds, no less... so even though we might say music never goes past -3dB, for split seconds like kick drums it will be near 0dB, again lighting the indicator sooner because rail voltage was met [/QUOTE]
