[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 7167232, member: 576010"] The clipping indicator on an amplifier uses a comparative circuit. When the amp's output voltage is equal to the amp's rail voltage for a sufficient amount of time the indicator lights up. This of course has nothing to do with the input signal. The easiest way for the OP to find what he is looking for is to play a test tone recorded at 0db and identify the volume level which causes the RCA outputs to reach their maximum level, preferably using a true RMS meter... More advanced users may use a program like speaker workshop to analyze distortion figures using a variety of test materials... [/QUOTE]
