Successfully destroying your speakers
2008-03-15 by fhserge
In the past I was quite successful in destroying some of my speakers
which is not rarely very costly as you might know...I sometimes like
it LOUD, VERY loud...
I connect my synths/modulars in many different ways
- directly from e. g. an Serge UAP into an AUX input of a Hi-Fi Amp
- first mixing then into an AUX Input of a Hi-Fi Amp
- directly into a an active speaker system (ADAM P11A) (no problem so
far)
I talked to a speaker tech who tried to explain me that Hi-Fi amps do
not have a kind of limiter build into the signal chain (AUX in -
speaker out) in contrast to "professional" amps which do have limiters
to avoid the effect of clipping and eventually destroying especially
the high frequency speakers. Is that true?
How do you protect your speaker system against clipping?
