Even the noobiest of noobs would be able to use these tools if they follow the directions properly.įirst, as per the directions, I tested my head unit, a Kenwood Excelon x-994. The directions that accompany both units are well written and clear. This makes using many brands of RCA's impossible to plug directly into it(when setting/testing head units and processors), requiring an adapter. My only dislike of the physical aspects are that the RCA input is recessed into the body of the unit.
They aren't heavy, which makes me wonder why they couldn't be made slightly smaller. The silicone gloves makes holding onto the units easy and comfortable. If you want to set your gain before you listen to EVERY song based on the song then go for it and I would then agree this device could almost make sense.but you'd have to be a complete fucktard to want/need to do that.This weekend I was able to to use the SMD Distortion Detector and Crossover Calibrator to set up my system. And no, there is no standard so YES all your music will be at different levels. You could pick an overly conservative one, but considering the target audience for the device that will just automatically make your system underwhelming.
What level are you CD's/mp3's or whatever recorded at? If you don't know then you CANNOT pick a clipping level for gain setting. Its a gimmick that will make you feel overconfident and not at all help the cause. If you feel it might, then you don't understand the "tool" and definitely shouldn't use it. If buying this tool will help me prevent my 500 dollar amp from possibly being damaged I feel like it is worth it but I do agree the price should be less then 130. Everyone is worried about there subs on here but nobody said anything about their amps. This will detect clipping on the amp and will prevent it from being damaged. Detailed instructions will be included of course and i promise you this is EASY." Use tracks ranging from 0db to -10 db (included on the disc) to set your gain overlaps according to the way you play your system. Put it this way, this device might not just force you to turn your gain down, in some cases you might have left some of your power "on the table" and werent taking advantage of it. This is a pretty fool proof way to do it, without the scope.
#Smd clipping detector tool how to#
It was developed for those who dont have access to an O-Scope or even if they did, they might not understand how to use one.
This was developed for and with SMD by Tony of D'amore Engineering and our other partner and electronic guru Juan. Well now you have a cheaper yet very accurate alternative, the SMD Distortion Listener (no official name yet). or do you tell your boys "my amp is ONLY up 1/4 of the way"? If you want to set them properly then the only true way to do it previously, is to us an Oscilloscope or "O-Scope" to detect a clipped signal. "Ever wonder how to set your amp gains properly? Do you just turn them up till its loud enough for you and call it done? Do you turn them up all the way. lol, I don't want any kind of legal trouble from the man. Also, I don't own any rights for this or any of the following information given. If you don't know what this product is, here is the info for it provided by his youtube channel. The Steve Meade Distortion Detector has a price listed for "less" then 139$ each. Just want to inform those who don't know. Ok, don't want to start any kind of drama here, lol.
