Greetings all
I just received a new Crown XTi 4002.
After reading through the manual twice....and a lot of on-line searching....plus turning the amp on to try out the settings - I am still not sure on clip elimination.
I find the manual is not very specific in some areas. I may have missed it, but I do not see where it states anything about clip elimination.
I do not need to reduce the amp power by any amount below zero dBfs.
My top boxes are 700 watt continuous and should be fine with the capability of 1200 watts per channel into each of the 4 ohm top box loads (for reasonable headroom and dynamic clarity).
Could someone tell me, if this amp is not set for reduction on power (leaving it at 0 dBfs reduction) - does this amp detect clipping - and - limit clipping like during any periodic red light indication during a show
What I want is full available power each channel - and upon threshold of amp clipping - that the amp will recognize it and not actually "clip" but will show red light blinks that means the amp is hitting full output.
I did read some other forum websites with entries that said when the XTi clips - it sounds like breaking glass. Not sure what that person was doing, but...
My QSC PLX 3402 does limit clipping, it is not adjustable.
The PLX can have clip limiter disabled - or - turned on via dipswitch.
I use the PLX with the clip limiter "on" always.
The PLX will now be moved to Sub enclosures duty. And I know that is not the best amp for subs but it is what I have currently.
If I have to do nothing for "full power" use and have clip limiting (NOT power reduction setting) - then I am good to go.
Thanks for any info.
