What is harmonic distortion like at high volume levels?

Very seldom do I feel the need to use the highest volume, however there is nearly no harmonic distortion even at the highest level possible. I can't even recall any significant distortion while using these phones.

My father had to turn it all the way down to volume 1. He has not complained of any high pitch squealing. Sorry I could not help more.

It's very common for any pedal with some built in distortion settings. If set too high you will get this problem. May need a noise gate in your chain of effects.

There is no distortion to sound, but I don't recommend this product is my experience with it was not good.

There will be some bleeding if your volume is too high. It will be fine at normal volumes.

The speakers at full volume have a little distortion but I don't believe they are suffering any damage.

Yes, and to be honest I think that it is normal but I'm not a professional, every stereo system I have ever owned, has done that. Only at very low volumes.

Yes there is a distortion if the angle is greater than 45 degrees. And the audio is very very poor.

sounds like fully distorted 1 watt, sound, or about 60-75 dB A level with soundmeter about 1 meter away.. it is loud enough for small group...in a room. you can reduce level of built in distortion, by going lower in vol.

You will not get any distortion from this device. It has many adjustable settings. I never used it at a live concert but I say give it a try. If it doesn't work send it back for a refund.

There are 2 seven watt drivers and 1 fifteen watt sub-woofer so I would estimate a very clean and loud ten watts before any noticeable distortion. I don't run it wide open because that is TOO LOUD!!! 1/2 to 2/3 volume is loud. Below 1/2 volume is normal. Maybe about 1/3 volume for quiet listening.

This unit has excellent frequency stability and as far as generated harmonics are concerned I did not detect any of any measurability. It has an rf frequency chip from Japan that has rave reviews. So you shouldn't have to worry about it.It produces very high fidelity stereo sound and I would recommend it to anyone who'd buy it. I hope this is helpful to you.Regards,Greg

I am unsure how Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) affects sound quality at low to moderate volume, which is what I play this unit at. The sound quality is excellent through Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers. I listen to Internet radio and podcasts, FM radio and digital audio from a HDTV. All audio modes are excellent to my ear.

Distortion is often a result of over-driving the amp. This amp requires no more than 5W drive; more than that and you risk distorted audio and ultimately a blown amp.

About the noise when the volume is turned up high, keep in mind that it's usually static creating that noise. If your speakers and amp unit is too close to your tv, computer or anything of that nature, it's bound to create noise at high volume levels. Some can actually create noise even in low volume levels. Always test the area first.

Not sure without actually doing it myself, but I'd try assigning the distortion to the expression pedal. That way you'd have real-time control over the exact amount you were looking for. Paul's answer is a good idea too if you're ok with a static setting.

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.
