Sufficient signal for an amp

NE$TER Silver Member Username: Graphix1 Santa Rosa Heights, Arima Trinidad & T... Post Number: 663 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 - 01:06 GMT How would you know how big a signal you would need for an amp..... Because i was running a small amp off my computer and the signal wasnt enough so i used a preamp to boost it up....it worked then i got another amp and it works fine off the computer alone... but my problem is i want to know if the signal from the computer is good enough or if i boost it up can i get more out of the amp..... but then again too much signal would cause clipping... so how would you know how big a signal you need?

B Gold Member Username: B101 Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 1064 Registered: Sep-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 - 04:21 GMT yea, the higher the input signal, the less work the amp has to do, so gain can be set lower. It will still do full output.

Adding a line driver to a dirty signal will make things worse so sometimes it is better to stick with your low voltage signal and use your gain at a higher level then to amplify the input signal and have a sh!tty output..
