OK. So I just got my speaker. Tested it out and I love what I'm hearing so far. I was wondering about clipping. How do you know when it's clipping?

On the screen shows LIMIT, also you can set up the front light to turn on when is clipping.

That is correct. If you do not buy an amp, then what happens is you have to turn the little head unit (which has a much smaller amp in it) up really high just to hear it. What this does is causes what they call clipping on the head unit which essentially changes the shape of the waveform coming out of the speakers. What the amp in the head unit essentially does is create an over-current when it is massively clipped which can in turn damage the speakers, usually the tweeters from the high frequency. Also, even if you don't push it hard enough for this to happen, it will sound terrible as the head unit won't be able to effectively push the speakers without pushing it to these levels.

Sharon - I agree with the responses already given. The only time I get feedback or a squealing noise is when I bend over too far. This usually happens when I'm adjusting my boombox or demonstrating a deck move. (I teach water aerobics). I wish there were a way to incorporate the voicebooster into a fanny pack. It bounces up & down frequently. Any ideas? bjsallows@sbcglobal.net

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke.If you find that out let me know. TksClaudia

I have been having a problem with mine. The sound keeps kind of cutting out and cutting back in. It goes to a lower volume with lower sound quality and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having this issue or is my headset defective?

I don't have this particular system, but I will warn you that the plugs are very long. Too long for the standard spring clips on my Sony reciever and my speakers. Thy only go in 1 or 1.5 segments - I ended up snipping off the remaining segments for a tighter fit. They are still a little loose, but I have less worry of them falling out or shifting around. There is no loss of sound once they've been clipped - I tested speakers w/ and w/o clipped plugs to check.

It's good. My last system required turning the center speaker up. Occasional increase in treble but really rarely notice missing dialogue. You can always turn surround off, but we never do. Hope that helps. Watching Bourbe Legacy now.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config: SRS TruSurround HD &lt;Off&gt; SRS TruVolume &lt;On&gt; Equalizer Settings &lt;OFF&gt; *important* Base &lt;75&gt; Treble &lt;50&gt; Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

Thanks to everyone for helping other customers by sharing your experience. If anyone is having issues with the sound cutting out, please email us at support@66audio.com - this is not normal and if you are within range (20-30 feet) and your battery is charged and not low, sound will not cut out!

I had a similar problem. All you can do is cut the wires and splice in 4 meters worth of speaker cable. It's what I did, and i did not notice any loss of fidelity.

Yes, it skips on old and new. I've found that the more I've used the machine, the less it skips, but I'm sending it back under warranty regardless because the speakers cut out so frequently.

Unfortunately, I did not keep the speaker, because I was not happy with the sound it produced........so I sent it back to Amazon. Even though I connected it to the computer....can't quite remember how I did that. However, I would suggest that you go to YouTube and put that speaker in the search box.......a YouTube video should come up with a "techy" showing how to make the connection. I've done that with a number of other products and it has been very helpful to me.

You have a left and a right channel. Each knob controls it's respective sides output. There is a blue power led to tell you the unit has power. A yellow protection led for low voltage or over heat events. And a red clipping led above each knob to indicate a signal clipping issue when over cranking the amp. Clipping can cause severe damage to your speakers if left unchecked. To hook up a microphone, it would be a good idea to utilize a stereo mixer. If you read this and have no idea what I am talking about, then go to best buy and get something with instructions and flashy light panels because you won't get how this thing works.

you still need to adjust volume on your phone....the clip volume controls are independent...

This was one thing I wanted to know as well, thinking of getting a wireless and do 1 ear when I go biking. I thought of the idea of a paper clip to clip the line to the neck of the shirt. Maybe they added a clip feature in next model. Still thinking hard if I should get this.

hi--yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

Choppy sound when? During streaming? Check your connection. If streaming 1080P, check that you're better than WiFi G or get on Ethernet. Mine has been flawless on audio. Music, Internet, Netflix, MP4's, etc. You need to provide more information of when it's happening and what you've tried. The question you ask is far too vague. Make sure your drivers are updated, are you on Win 7, 8 or 8.1? Does this affect headphones as well? Plugged in or battery? Both? Please be as detailed as possible.
