Powered mixers

[BobChiz]

good day gents,
I have a samson xm610 powered mixer, I recently bought it and I currently use a set of cheap phonic speakers 100 watt.
My question is should the clip lites lite up? I'm new bee to audio set ups.

The clip lights should only flicker the slightest bit when you are at your loudest volumes. Clipping means that your audio signal is too hot for the board. Back it off a little bit otherwise you'll either

A. Burn out the board

or

B. Blow your speakers

thx for the reply, I have scince bought a pair of EV sx100's and hve a good handle on diling the mixer in. I still get the clip lites but we have a better sound with the EV's.

thx again
