Distortion

Post by Francie81 »

Hi ppl,

I've been broadcasting with PCI Max 2005 a few months now and I've noticed distortion is some of the tunes. Can this be rectified?

Thanks,
Francie

Explain distortion, in what cases does it occur? You're probably
over-modulating, reduce audio level a bit.

You're probably overdriving it a bit.

Set volume a tiny bit lower, should help.

Also, set EQ in winamp to cut above 15KHz.

I tricked around with equalisers & volume and still no joy, its not happening with every tune but I know its not the tune thats distorted, kinda strange.

Make sure you are using a Line output source like CD/Tape and not driving the PCI Max from your main speaker output. Also check your mixer software settings for overmodulation.

Happy Broadcasting!
