HowDidYouKillMe t1_j9zzan5 wrote

I own a JDS Atom amp, and I was wondering if I could lower the computer’s volume to lets say 50 to prevent clipping, and just boost the volume on the Amp. The JDS is quite powerful, for which even the 12 position was uncomfortably loud at 50% computer volume.

Would doing this have any consequences?

Thanks in advance!

Unless you're running EQ then there shouldn't be a possibility of any clipping problems.

Anyway, you would lose a little bit of dynamic range. Probably not enough to make a practical difference.

I suggest installing an equalizerAPO on your computer and setting the preamp in the equalizer to -10 dbs (depending on how much lower you wish the volume to be) while keeping the computer volume at maximum.

This would help to achieve the more control room you wish to have on JDS amp, while not sacrificing dynamic range.
