Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distortion occurs when the peak of the audio signal exceeds the maximum level that can be transmitted or handled by a particular equipment. Clipping occurs when the signal is amplified beyond its maximum level causing the waveform to be cut off resulting in distorted output. Using old recording equipment or high power amplifiers or turning the signal up loud may contribute to distortion but clipping the signal is the primary cause of distortion.
