DDT
Peavey’s patented DDT (Distortion Detection Technique) compression circuit enables the sound technician to maximize the performance of the amplifier/speaker combination by preventing the power amp from running out of headroom (clipping). This compression system is activated by a unique circuit that senses signal conditions which might overload the amplifier and activates compression (reduces the amp gain) when clipping is imminent. Threshold of compression, then, is clipping itself, and no specific threshold control is used. This technique effectively utilizes every precious watt available for the power amplifier to reproduce the signal while at the same time minimizing clipping and distortion and thus significantly reducing the potential of loudspeaker degradation and damage. The DDT system is an automatic
