Overview

Gain Comparator Limiting. When a signal has waveform peaks that exceed the amps' power-supply rails, waveforms get chopped off, or “clipped." This undesirable distortion most often happens when the amp is turned up too high (too much gain). GCL™ senses clipping (or current limiting) and dynamically reduces the gain for a few milliseconds. You can drive the CPX amp to its maximum (and beyond) without hearing audible distortion.

Don't settle for less. If you need maximum performance on a tight budget, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on a CPX Series amplifier from Crest Performance.
