an electrical signal is clipped if the signal level exceeds the capabilities of the amplifier. It is a distortion of the signal.

In telephony, the loss of the initial or final parts of a word, words, or syllable, usually caused by the nonideal operation of voice-actuated devices. 2. The limiting of instantaneous signal amplitudes to a predetermined maximum value. 3. In a display device, the removal of those parts of display elements that lie outside of a given boundary.

Distortion to sound, usually due to the audio being too loud. Unless the original audio is 32-bit sample format, waveforms louder than 0 dB will have their tops lopped off (flattened) at 0 dB, rather [..]

Distortion due to overloading of an audio signal. In the Analogue domain this is normally caused by the peak signal voltage being limited by the audio circuits’ power supply voltage.

The conversion of all tones lighter than a specified grey level to white, or darker than a specified grey level to black, causing loss of detail. This also applies to individual channels in a color image.

The phenomenon where an input signal exceeds the capability of electronic or digital equipment to reproduce the signal. This results in an audible distortion (analog) or an incomprehensible noise (dig [..]

Clipping or clamping is the medical term used to describe one of the methods of doing sympahtectomy. Here titanium clips are applied on the nerve to block the transmission of nerve impulses. Unlike the cutting method in which the sympathetic chain is destroyed with electrocautery or with the harmonic scalpal the clamping/clipping method gives a pos [..]

Occurs when the continuous power-to-peak power capabilities (headroom) of an amplifier are exceeded. The resul t is very audible distortion, also visible on an oscilloscope.   Back   Back   Home  |  Contact Us  |  About Us  |  Advertise  |  Car Audio How to Links  |  Join!  |  Log-In

Distortion of an audio signal causes by input levels being too high. Commonly present when recording sounds too close with a microphone, or pushing the mixer tracks up too much.

 Distortion occurs when an amplifier is driven to play louder than its power supply allows and the result is clipping. This state can cause loudspeaker damage. It is of particular importance with digi [..]

A result of over/under exposing a photo so much that there is loss of information in the highlights or shadows of the histogram.
