Sine wave cd

[Bp-08]

Where would I be able to pick one of these up, so I can properly set the gain on my amp. Thanks

sine wave generator. you can find plenty of free programs to create whatever frequencies you want

Better question...do you have an oscilloscope? That would be the best way to do it with sine waves so you can watch the clip points. Of course you could always just download a few test tones or pink noise and play your CD player at 3/4 volume and use a digital multimeter and turn up the gain until your wattage matches what your amp is rated for (RMS)...the formula for that is:

Voltage^2/Resistance=Wattage

just find a talk radio station and turn it up till it bumps!

That is what I plan to do. I just wasnt sure if it would make a difference if I burnt the cd myself.

Probably be needing more help when the time comes being ive never properly set the gain before, being my system before was just a cheapo. Thanks for the info guys.
