Re: [PolySix] Clone Calibration: DC Click Noise?!

2011-02-24 by Andrew Jury

Hi Arturo,

What they mean by this is that they only want a certain amount of DC to be
present at the audio line out jack when you switch the P6 on. This is the
Œthump¹ you hear when you hit the mains switch. In this case they are
advising that not more than 6vdc peak ­ peak is present. You¹ll have to
measure a transient like that with a storage scope, unless anyone else out
there has a better idea. I shouldn¹t get too hung up about it unless your
speakers pop out and start rolling around on the floor.

Cheers,
Andy
