Please explain clipping


If anyone would be so kind as to explain to me the term clipping. I would like to know why it takes place? and what are the sonic effects when clipping occurs? , etc.

Jcbtubes, I thought I knew what clipping was, but now I wonder. From your post, it appears that clipping is not amplitude related, as I thought it was -- did the 2kw amp produce clipping even at very low volumes? Was it more a function of slew rate or other factors? Are there two kinds of clipping -- one related to design and one related to overstepping the design? Sorry for all the questions, but I would appreciate any insight. Thanks for the post.
