clipping level

He say's the tone was set 5 dB below the clipping level.

For example, a clipping level may be set to generate a report for the following:

This level is known as the clipping level.

Electronically balanced sources with a clipping level of +20dBm into 600 Ohms.

Many systems can generate automated reports, based on certain predefined criteria or thresholds, known as clipping levels.

Definition of clipping level: a disk's ability to maintain its magnetic properties and hold its content.

For some microphones the clipping level may be much higher than the max SPL.

Power line filters are designed to suppress spikes, surges, and noise before they get to the clipping level of surge protectors.

If our complex signal just saturates (ie largest amplitude is just at the clipping level) the signal has a strength of 78.0 dB.

The microphone should ideally have a clipping level of 120 to 140 dB SPL if high-level distortion is to be measured.

However the recordist must ascertain the relevant clipping level of the recording amplifiers into which the mixer output is fed and the relevant parameters for recording tape being used to know where he stands.

OUTPUTS The output amplifier of the SQN-3 has a clipping level of +18dB into 600 Ohm loads and over 20dB where the load impedance is higher which will usually be the case.

In all cases, the sound level (in dB, with 90 dB being the most intense sound the card can deliver) and the value of the maximum sound level as a fraction of the clipping level are displayed.

The clipping level is an important indicator of maximum usable level, as the 1% THD figure usually quoted under max SPL is really a very mild level of distortion, quite inaudible especially on brief high peaks.

If the two red lines do not show, then the clipping level is off the top or bottom of the screen.If the Play Display Magnification Button is pressed, the clipping level is always at least a factor of two larger than the top or botton of the display.
